The computational model successfully documents the hard-to-detect transition phases of chemical reactions.

During a chemical reaction, molecules gain energy until they reach a position termed the transition state. Existing at a level of energy where the reaction has no choice but to proceed, the transition state's transient nature makes it extremely difficult to observe experimentally. Its structures can be calculated using quantum chemistry-based techniques, but these are…

A computer engineer explores the limits of geometric principles.

More than 2000 years after Greek mathematician Euclid revolutionized the understanding of shapes, MIT associate professor Justin Solomon uses modern geometric techniques to resolve complex problems that seemingly have little to do with shapes. Adopting these techniques to compare two datasets for machine learning model performance, Solomon argues that geometric tools can reveal whether the…

The computational model encapsulates the hard-to-detect transition states in chemical reactions.

During a chemical reaction, molecules gain energy until they reach a transition state. This is a point from which the reaction must proceed. However, this state is brief and almost impossible to observe experimentally. Traditionally, the structures of these transition states have been calculated with methods rooted in quantum chemistry. This process is extremely time-consuming. The…
