Since the 1980s, researchers have sought to use laser light to control chemical reactions relevant to photochemistry, ...

Researchers from the University of Regensburg under the lead of Prof. Dr. Burkhard König, from the Institute of Organic Chemistry, are now presenting a completely different way to synthesize complex ...

Controlling strong electromagnetic fields on nanoparticles is the key to triggering targeted molecular reactions on their surfaces. Such control over strong fields is achieved via laser light.

A recent collaborative report, published in Science, including RASEI Fellow Niels Damrauer, addresses a key issue for light-driven chemistry, potentially opening up possibilities for future ...

Converting a mixture of mirror-image forms, or stereoisomers, of a molecule into a single isomer is a big deal in making pharmaceuticals, because usually only one isomer is useful as a drug. But ...

Aerosols in the atmosphere react to incident sunlight. This light is amplified in the interior of the aerosol droplets and particles, accelerating reactions. Researchers have now been able to ...

Chemical manufacturing is an energy-intensive industry; a team of chemists is designing a technique that could power the necessary reactions with sunlight or LEDs. Read from CU expert Arindam Sau and ...
