Inaccessible Reactions. While it was providing visual information, the computer was also spewing out torrents of printed data describing the energy that binds together a molecule of sal ammoniac. It also spelled out the temperatures and pressures at which the chemical can exist. To Clementi's surprise, the computer...

Chemist Clementi firmly believes that test-tube computers will bring new precision to chemistry. They will also enable scientists for the first time to study otherwise inaccessible chemical reactions that occur in the extreme temperatures of rocket engines, for example, or under the stupendous pressures at the center of the...
