From Ta Physika to Physics – 64

1023 days prior, a fascinating journey commenced, charting the development of physics from Aristotle’s τὰ φυσικά to the point where the term “physics” assumed its contemporary meaning. Now, in its sixty-fourth episode, this exploration reaches its conclusion. Initially, the inquiry investigated the word “physics,” tracing its Aristotelian origins and its evolution over the ages to […]

Utilizing Light to Modify Stereochemistry Opposing Thermodynamic Preference

Alison Wendlandt is a chemist whose research merges two cutting-edge domains of chemical reactions: stereochemical modification and contra-thermodynamic processes. Her studies involve manipulating molecular stereochemistry, primarily through reactions that alter the chirality of chiral centers, resulting in products with higher energy levels compared to their more stable counterparts. Wendlandt characterizes her work as a complementary […]
