The award consists of $5,000 and a certificate. Up to $2,500 for travel expenses to the meeting at which the award will be presented will be reimbursed. A nominee must have accomplished outstanding ...

Physical chemistry lies at the interface of physics and chemistry, providing both a conceptual and quantitative framework to understand molecular interactions and energy transformations. This ...

Stuart Alan Rice, a longtime professor at the University of Chicago whose pioneering research shaped the field of physical chemistry in the second half of the 20th century, died Dec. 22 at the age of ...

Physical chemists aim to develop a fundamental understanding at the molecular and atomic level of how materials behave and how chemical reactions occur, knowledge that is relevant in nearly every area ...

Three scientists won the 2023 Nobel Prize in physics for their work developing methods to shoot laser pulses that only last an attosecond, or a mind-bogglingly tiny fraction of a second.

When astrobiologists look for physical evidence of past or present life beyond Earth, they search for biosignatures, like molecules with chemistry that doesn’t make sense on the basis of ...

Computational chemistry uses massive supercomputers to develop virtual models that show how chemical reactions and physical processes take place. This is done based on mathematical equations to ...

Cutting-Edge Physics and Chemistry Unfold One Quintillionth of a Second at a Time An attosecond—or 0.000000000000000001 second—is no time at all for a person.

Department of Chemistry Faculty and Staff The faculty members who make up Saint Louis University’s Department of Chemistry are highly regarded in their fields. They are known for their extensive ...

Redox and surface reactivity of transition metal based materials for batteries and electrocatalytic applications, physical and chemical properties of liquid electrolytes. Our research lies at the ...
