Researchers developed a machine-learning model that can predict the structures of transition states of chemical reactions in less than a second, with high accuracy. Their model could make it easier ...

In contrast to conventional organic synthesis, mechanochemistry does not use solvents that eventually become industrial wastes. Thus, mechanochemistry is environmentally friendly and enables us to ...

A new theory predicts one of the effects of macroscopic mechanical forces on mechanochemical organic synthesis by a ball mill. In contrast to conventional organic synthesis, mechanochemistry does not ...

Microdroplet chemistry exploits the distinctive environment of liquid droplets with diameters in the micrometre range to achieve reaction rates far exceeding those observed in bulk solution. Key ...

When chemists design new chemical reactions, one useful piece of information involves the reaction's transition state—the point of no return from which a reaction must proceed. This information allows ...
