All searches are done from the point of view of environmental and social concern. If you search for the word “carbon” for example, it knows that you want information about carbon’s impact on climate change, not its physical chemistry. http://www.truevert.com/

Vroom, vroom. (Daniel Roland/AP) Yes, the title of today’s blog entry might sound like a mid-level physical chemistry course at a decent university, but I can assure you that we’re still talking about economics. As I was reading Kate Galbraith’s story about natural-gas-powered vehicles, I had a thought: Will just about every alternative fuel lead [...]

Well, sort of. I mean, yeah, in a way: Dr. Martin Hertzberg, a retired Navy meteorologist with a PhD in physical chemistry, is one of the more than 500 scientists featured in the U.S. Senate’s report of scientists dissenting from man-made global warming fears. See this U.S. Senate report. Forwarded for your interest is a copy [...]

New work in physical chemistry reveals a method that uses laser light to interact with electrons in a molecule. As the electrons pop loose, they provide information about both the electronic structure of the highest occupied orbital and the position of the constituent atoms in the molecule. Read More...

A long-sought but short-lived molecule has been made and characterized for the first time. This compound decays at low temperatures using an unusual trick — a mechanism known as quantum tunnelling.

Transition metals come in different oxidation states with different electric charges. So at least we are told at school. Detailed calculations lead to a heretical conclusion — those variable charge states are a myth.

• A pair of Russian physicists, Radushkevich and Lukyanovich, first discovered carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in 1952; they published clear images of 50 nanometer diameter tubes made of carbon in the Soviet Journal of Physical Chemistry . However, little attention was given to their discovery, and it was not until 1991 that these unique structures first gained widespread attention among the world's scientists,...

Michael Berger over at Nanowerk has filed a report about a novel nanoscale sensor platform developed by investigators at the Institute of Physical Chemistry, University of Mainz in Germany. The most exciting thing for us about the platform, which is built upon membrane coated plasmonic particles, is in its ability to offer a local analysis of protein interaction with biological membranes, or as explained...

From the mid-1960s onwards, David Husain and his colleagues at Cambridge University did pioneering work on the rapidity with which excited atoms reacted with simple molecules such as hydrogen and the light alkanes, processes of great relevance in the context of atmospheric chemistry.

Consider the following: what we know about physics and chemistry suggests that matter and energy interact on the basis of two things - physical laws and random chance. The fact that iron oxidizes is the result of physical characteristics of energy and matter that we understand well. Similarly, our understanding of the random elements in [...]
