What's NewThe What's New page contains information about recent developments on the Department of Energy (DOE) Research and Development (R&D) Accomplishments Web site, including additions of Database reports, Snapshots, Featured Topics, and other related topics of interest. It is divided into four general categories: Recently Added Features , Recently Added Database Reports, Recently Added Nobel Laureates, and Recently Added Snapshots.
Recently Added FeaturesDudley Herschbach, winner of the 1986 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his "contributions concerning the dynamics of chemical elementary processes", has been a pioneer in the measurement and theoretical interpretation of vector properties of reaction dynamics, a field known as "molecular stereodynamics". [added 7/2009] Henry Taube received the 1983 Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for his work on the mechanisms of electron transfer reactions, especially in metal complexes". Taube's groundbreaking research was in the field of coordination chemistry, which involves the study of metal complexes ("coordination compounds") that consist of a metal atom surrounded by other molecules or ions. [added 5/2009] Yuan T. Lee used a technique called 'crossed molecular beams' to follow the motion of atoms and molecules as they collide and react to form new products and to observe the flow of energy between them. He won the 1986 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his "contributions concerning the dynamics of chemical elementary processes". [added 4/2009] Recently Added Database Reports
