For the first time, a quantum radiation reaction in strong electromagnetic fields has been demonstrated experimentally by allowing electrons to collide with an extremely intense and powerful laser ...

Since the 1980s, researchers have sought to use laser light to control chemical reactions relevant to photochemistry, catalysis and light-responsive materials. But this technique, known as coherent ...

The experiment and an associated new theory revealed behaviors completely opposed to what had previously been expected. In the effort to learn more about fundamental chemical reactions, scientists ...

Mechanical stress can directly activate chemical reactions by reducing the reaction energy barrier. A possible mechanism of such mechanochemical activation is structural deformation of the reactant ...

When performing even the simplest of chemical reactions, a large number of interrelated variables must be considered and selected. For instance, reaction time, concentration, temperature, ...

A reaction that puzzled scientists for 50 years has now been explained by researchers at Ume University. Rapid structural snapshots captured how graphite transforms into graphite oxide during ...

A revolutionary container-less chemical reactor, pioneered by the space research team at Guigne International Ltd (GIL) in Canada with scientists at the University of Bath, has been installed on the ...
