The rise of modern theoretical methods and speedy computers has led to a cheerful exuberance in computing the mechanisms and energetics of chemical reactions. It is now relatively straightforward to ...

Researchers have devised a new theoretical method for calculating the speediness of reactions whose rates depend strongly on pressure. In the past, such calculations have always needed at least a bit ...

A physical phenomenon called quantum tunnelling is rare in chemical reactions, making it difficult to study theoretically and experimentally. The measurement of the tunnelling rate in a hydrogen ...
