Chemical kinetics is the branch of chemistry responsible for studying the rate of chemical processes 1. These studies provide useful information which can, for example, be used to suggest a reaction ...

Microplastics are emerging environmental pollutants which represent a serious threat for the world’s oceans 1. It has been estimated that about 10% of the yearly production of plastic materials end up ...

A hot gas dissociates very quickly, on the order of microseconds. One might think we could neglect the speed of dissociation, then, and model the gas in an equilibrium state. However, many things ...

Enzyme kinetics involves the measurement of the rate at which chemical reactions that are catalyzed by enzymes occur. Knowledge about the kinetics of an enzyme can reveal useful information about its ...

A research team has made significant discoveries regarding the complex reaction mechanisms of carbon dioxide (CO2) in supercritical water. These findings are crucial for understanding the molecular ...

Steel and metal production are among the largest contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for approximately 10% of global CO2 emissions. At the same time, modern technology relies ...

Looking for cleaner, low-carbon fuel alternatives? A new review in Engineering breaks through the complex combustion chemistry of biomass-derived ...

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is used to measure heat flow into or out of a sample as it is exposed to a controlled thermal profile. DSC offers both quantitative and qualitative data about ...
