The reaction starts less than a millisecond after the metal droplet, released from a syringe, enters the water. After just 0.4 ms, ‘spikes’ of metal shoot out from the droplet, too fast to be ...

Sodium combines with water in an explosive reaction. Chlorine (Cl) is a halogen; it is a highly reactive element that readily gains an electron to fill its outermost shell.

The team's simulations indicate that chemical reactions involving water and air could be sped up by drawing the interacting molecules out of the water's bulk environment (meaning, deep into the ...

At the air-water interface, a negatively charged amino acid carries out a nucleophile attack on a gas molecule to convert it into a product. The reaction rate is enhanced due to significant ...
