Supramolecular assemblies are essential for biological function and in many aspects the field of supramolecular chemistry has been inspired by biology. Compelling illustrations of complex assemblies ...

Its predictions are crucial for both chemistry and biology when determining if certain chemical reactions, or interconnected networks of reactions, will proceed spontaneously. However, while ...

Basically, the energy conversion in systems that are in thermodynamic equilibrium can be described almost entirely ... Potential applications of this work range from chemistry to circuitry and quantum ...

A research team simulated phase separation in colloidal suspensions. By treating colloid particles as undeformable highly viscous liquid droplets suspended in a solvent, they predicted the kinetics of ...

Computational methods that can simulate reactions, how a molecule behaves in a certain environment and what properties a material will exhibit (amongst other areas) have been gaining interest in ...

Take chemistry, add energy, get life. The first tests of Jeremy England’s provocative origin-of-life hypothesis are in, and they appear to show how order can arise from nothing. The paper strips away ...

At Analytica USA in Columbus, Ohio, Christian Mayer, a professor of physical chemistry at the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany, delivered a talk titled, “Spontaneous Structural Development of a ...
