Chemistry: the Key to Our Future
for 18-22 and upwards,
Lectures | 18-22 and upwards | 9 years ago | 1386 views
Rating:

Chemistry is not merely a science of making observations in order to better understand Nature. Our science is creative and productive, generating substances of very high value from almost nothing. Chemists already have made enormous contribution to....

From Atoms to Complexity: Reactions at Surfaces
for 18-22 and upwards,
Lectures | 18-22 and upwards | 9 years ago | 1338 views
Rating:

The interaction of molecules with the surfaces of solids forms the basis of heterogeneous catalysis and can now be investigated in atomic detail. Systems of this kind may, on the other hand, serve as models for studying self-organisation of matter le....
