Discipline summary

Chemistry is the science of matter and the changes it undergoes. Chemists study the way atoms interact with other atoms, the ways in which groups of atoms are bonded together into molecules and the ways in which molecules interact with other molecules to produce new molecules via chemical reactions. As a discipline which overlaps physics in the small scale, and biology and earth sciences in the large scale, the goal of chemistry is to understand the properties of matter and to manipulate matter through predictable transformation. Chemistry is subdivided into fields such as physical chemistry, organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, nuclear chemistry, and analytical chemistry.

  3. The amide functionality is a common feature in small or complex synthetic or natural molecules. For example, it is ubiquitous in life, as proteins play a crucial role in virtually all biological processes such as enzymatic catalysis (nearly all…
  4. Until now, photovoltaics-the conversion of sunlight to electrical power-has been dominated by solid-state junction devices, often made of silicon. But this dominance is now being challenged by the emergence of a new generation of photovoltaic cells,…
