The study of chemical reactions that happen at extremely short timescales (approximately 10 to the power −15 seconds or one femtosecond, hence the name).

Environmental Chemistry

in Chemistry

The interdisciplinary study of the sources, reactions, transport, effects, and fates of chemical species in the air, soil, and water environments; and the effect of human activity and biological activity on these.

Solid-state Chemistry

in Chemistry

The study of the synthesis, structure, and properties of solid phase materials. It focuses on non-molecular solids.

Quantum Chemistry

in Chemistry

The study of the application of nature at the smallest scales of energy levels of atoms and subatomic particles to the study of molecules. Also called Molecular Quantum Mechanics.

Electrochemistry

in Chemistry

The study of the relation between chemicals and electricity.

Geochemistry

in Chemistry

The study of the relative abundance, distribution, and migration of the Earth’s chemical elements and their isotopes in rocks and minerals, as well as the movement of these elements into soil and water systems.

Organometallic Chemistry

in Chemistry

The study of chemical compounds containing at least one chemical bond between a carbon atom of an organic compound and a metal, including alkaline, alkaline earth, transition metal, and other cases.

Immunochemistry

in Chemistry

The study of the molecular mechanisms underlying the function of the immune system, especially the nature of antibodies, antigens and their interactions.

Chemical Biology

in Chemistry

The interdisciplinary study of the application of chemical techniques, tools, and analysis to the study and manipulation of biological systems.

Neurochemistry

in Chemistry

The study of neurochemicals, including neurotransmitters and other molecules such as psychopharmaceuticals and neuropeptides, that influence the function of neurons.

Astrochemistry

in Chemistry

The interdisciplinary study of the abundance of molecules in the Universe, their reactions, and their interaction with radiation.

Sonochemistry

in Chemistry

The study of sound waves propagating through a liquid at ultrasonic frequencies to form acoustic cavitation, resulting in the initiation or enhancement of the chemical activity in the solution.

Marine Chemistry

in Chemistry

The study of the organic compounds of marine environments, including the influences of their different variables, and the chemical ecology of extremophiles. Also called Ocean Chemistry.

Pharmacology

in Chemistry

The study of the origin, nature, chemistry, effects, and uses of drugs, where a drug can be broadly defined as any manufactured, natural, or endogenous (from within body) molecule that exerts a biochemical or physiological effect on the cell, tissue, organ, or organism.

Oenology

in Chemistry

The study of wine and winemaking.

Radiochemistry

in Chemistry

The study of radioactive substances and phenomena.

Cheminformatics

in Chemistry

The interdisciplinary study of storing, indexing, searching, retrieving, and applying information about chemical compounds. Also called Chemical Informatics or Chemo informatics.

Organic Chemistry

in Chemistry

The study of the chemical composition, chemical constitution, structure, properties, and reactions of organic compounds and materials.

Agro Chemistry

in Chemistry

The study of the chemical compositions and chemical changes involved in the production, use, and protection of crops and livestock.

Mechanochemistry

in Chemistry

The study of the coupling of mechanical and chemical phenomena on a molecular scale to access mechanical breakage, chemical behaviour of mechanically stressed solids, tribology, polymer degradation under shear, and cavitation-related phenomena.

Hydrogenation

in Chemistry

The study of chemical reactions between molecular hydrogen and other elements or compounds, ordinarily in the presence of a catalyst, commonly employed to reduce or saturate organic compounds.

Thermochemistry

in Chemistry

The study of the energy and heat generated during chemical reactions and physical transformations.

Biochemistry

in Chemistry

The study of the chemical substances and processes that occur in plants, animals, and microorganisms, and of the changes they undergo during development and life.

Cosmo Chemistry

in Chemistry

The study of the chemical composition of matter in the universe and the processes that led to those compositions.

Atmospheric Chemistry

in Chemistry

The multidisciplinary study of the atmospheres of planets.

Analytical Chemistry

in Chemistry

The study of separating, identifying, and quantifying matter present.

Synthetic Chemistry

in Chemistry

The study of manipulating chemical reactions to obtain a product, such as insect pheromone.

Supra-molecular Chemistry

in Chemistry

The study of linking molecules into bigger systems.

Molecular Mechanics

in Chemistry

The study of using classical mechanics to model molecular systems.

Surface Chemistry

in Chemistry

The study of how molecules and atoms interact with surfaces and with each other while on surfaces.

Petrochemistry

in Chemistry

The study of the transformation of crude oil (petroleum) and natural gas into useful products or raw materials.

Phytochemistry

in Chemistry

The study of chemicals derived from plants. Plants synthesize phytochemicals for many reasons, including to protect themselves against insect attacks and plant diseases.

Computational Chemistry

in Chemistry

The study of using computer simulation to calculate the structures and properties of molecules and solids in solving theoretical chemical problems.

Chemistry - Data Collection

As a Chemist, please Login and provide research data on any of the following topics.

1. Government Agencies.

In preparing each faculty of knowledge to function constitutionally as an Arm of Government, we first need to specify or outline their boundaries. Please list as many offices, agencies, ministries, institutions, or parastatals presently in your region that you think fall under the authority, leadership, jurisdiction, legislation, or administration of the faculty of Chemistry.

 

2. Licensing Rights.

The creation or invention of new products and services are the efforts of multiple faculties working collaboratively. However, in our new economic system design, conflicts arise as to which faculties should possess the rights of ownership to certain creations. For example. Should CELLPHONES fall under the licensing rights of Physics or Electrical Engineering? Should PLASTICS fall under the licensing rights of Chemistry or Materials Science? Should PHARMACEUTICALS fall under the licensing rights of Biology or Health Science? Please list as many services, gadgets, products, creations, or inventions that chemists provide or offer presently in your region that you believe fall under the licensing rights of the faculty of Chemistry.

 

3. The Future.

Assuming that the faculty of Chemistry has just been granted ample funding and unhindered federal powers, please suggest a new idea, course of action, strategy, dream, innovation, or next-generation agency that chemists could implement, establish, or research and develop towards achieving a utopia in your region.
