    About this ebook

    Chemistry at Extreme Conditions covers those chemical processes that occur in the pressure regime of 0.5–200 GPa and temperature range of 500–5000 K and includes such varied phenomena as comet collisions, synthesis of super-hard materials, detonation and combustion of energetic materials, and organic conversions in the interior of planets. The book provides an insight into this active and exciting field of research. Written by top researchers in the field, the book covers state of the art experimental advances in high-pressure technology, from shock physics to laser-heating techniques to study the nature of the chemical bond in transient processes. The chapters have been conventionally organised into four broad themes of applications: biological and bioinorganic systems; Experimental works on the transformations in small molecular systems; Theoretical methods and computational modeling of shock-compressed materials; and experimental and computational approaches in energetic materials research.

    * Extremely practical book containing up-to-date research in high-pressure science * Includes chapters on recent advances in computer modelling* Review articles can be used as reference guide

      Experiment Nails Down New Properties Of Water

      Aug 13, 2018

      Researchers have uncovered new molecular properties of water. Liquid water is an excellent transporter of its own autoionization products; that is, the charged species obtained when a water molecule (H2O) is split into protons (H+) and hydroxide ions

      The Gaia Hypothesis Is Still Giving Us Feedback: Revisiting James Lovelock’s theory as it approaches 50.

      Apr 24, 2014

      I first met James Lovelock in 1988 at a conference on his controversial Gaia Hypothesis that was sponsored by the American Geophysical Union. Gaia, to remind you, was the mythical Greek goddess who embodied Mother Earth. The Gaia Hypothesis is the id

      Thicker Plant Leaves May Make Climate Change Worse

      Oct 5, 2018

      Plants with thicker leaves may exacerbate the effects of climate change, according to a new study. That’s because they would be less efficient in sequestering atmospheric carbon. Plant scientists have observed that when levels of carbon dioxide in th
