A New Method for Understanding the Chemical Interactions of Molecules
A new method for controlling the chemical reactions of molecules has been developed by scientists at the University of York. The research, published in the journal Nature Communications, shows how the reaction of molecules can be controlled by manipulating the environment around them. This method could be used to create new materials with specific properties, or to develop more efficient reactions in industrial processes. It could also be used to better understand the chemistry of complex molecules. The team used a method called “environmental scanning tunneling microscopy” to examine the reaction of molecules in different environments. By changing the local environment, they were able to control the reaction of the molecules. This could lead to a range of new applications for controlling the chemistry of molecules.
