A brief explanation of quantum mechanics, and how it is related to the periodic table and all of life

Dr. Kroto analyzes the microwave spectrum of NCNCS

Dr. Kroto describes his ABC system for spectroscopy, a systematic method that can be applied to vibrational, rotational, and electronic spectrocopies

Jonathan Christian discusses what it means to be a material/physical chemist. He shows how a physical chemist characterizes materials using his research into Chromium 3+ polyoxometalates.

Alan G. Marshall, Florida State University's 2006-2007 Lawton Professor, will speak on 'Reading Chemical 'Fine Print': The Key to Unlocking Nature's Isotopic Zoo' as he delivers the Tenth Annual Robert O. Lawton Distinguished Professor Lecture.'Natur....

An examination of the usefulness of fuel cells

Solar power technology and recent research

We have synthesized different alkali metal peroxychromates and K3NbO8 doped with K3CrO8crystals based on rare oxidation state of Chromium (V).We have studied their spectroscopic properties using EPR and pulsed EPR. Coherent spin manipulation on Cr+5 ....

Takeshi Oka, Professor of Astronomy at the University of Chicago and discoverer of H3(+), positively ionised molecule of three protons, talks about the ways in which the various aspects of science are are all interlocked. In particular he shows the ....

Dan Nocera of MIT gives a review of the world's current power demand and projects it forward to 2030. By using readily available data he shows that providing the increase needed is remarkably difficult given the need to restrict the production of ca....

The importance of electron orbital angular momentum in the processes that contribute to resistivity.

An introduction to acids and bases using simple kitchen equipment and some 'invisible ink'.

A moving address by Harry to the ACS meeting in San Francisco about his colleague and fellow Nobel Prize winner, Richard Smalley.

This talk is aimed primarily at young children and expresses my enthusiasm and my love for science. Its an attempt at expressing that Science is fun. I talk about some of the experiments done as part of my graduate work. Strategies for achieving guid....

Abstract: 21st century chemistry is slowly expanding its concepts into the realm of supermolecular phenomena. However, few tools exist for explaining, creating and controlling complex macroscopic structures and dynamics. In this talk, I discuss our....

Thin polymer films are doped with electrolytes to produce novel effects.
