Key Concepts: A physical change, such as a state change or dissolving, does not create a new substance, but a chemical change does. A chemical change is the result of a chemical reaction. In a ...

Why do you think this works? The chemical reaction that happens in a light stick is slower when cold. Do you think that starting with warmer reactants increases the rate of other chemical reactions?

The formose reaction The formose reaction is a chemical reaction that synthesizes sugars from formaldehyde in the presence of a catalyst, calcium hydroxide.

In a study recently published in the journal Nature Chemical Biology, researchers reveal that two reactive byproducts of sugar metabolism—methylglyoxal and its metabolite lactoylglutathione ...

Shelter-in-place recommendations and evacuation orders have been lifted Monday after a fire at a Georgia industrial plant caused a chemical reaction that prompted around 17,000 people to evacuate ...

Automated reaction path search method predicts accurate stereochemistry of pericyclic reactions using only target molecule structure.

A chemical reaction that gives flavour to cooked food may lock away millions of tonnes of carbon in the seabed each year. The process might even have helped create the conditions for complex life ...

This one-atom chemical reaction could transform drug discovery Researchers from Osaka University have stabilized atomic carbon for common reaction conditions in organic chemistry.

Scientists in Australia have used quantum computers to observe something usually too fast for the eye to see. The team managed to slow down a molecular interaction by 100 billion times to see what ...

Scientists have harnessed chemical reactions to make microscale origami machines self-fold -- freeing them from the liquids in which they usually function, so they can operate in dry environments ...
