...three were cited for developing methods that have revealed the most basic mechanisms of chemical reactions. To construct theories of what happens when chemicals react, scientists, prior to the laureates' work, had only sketchy evidence: the chemical products and the amount of energy produced or consumed by the end of a multistep reaction. But these observations gave information only about the net effect on millions of molecules; the changes that occur to individual molecules at each step stayed a mystery...
...that of particle physicists, who accelerate beams of speeding subatomic particles, smash them together or into a target, and then study the resulting debris. Herschbach's and Lee's beams consist of molecules instead of subatomic particles; when the molecules collide at about the speed of sound, they react to form new molecules, which spray in different directions. By looking at what new molecules have been formed, where they end up and what kind of energy is emitted or absorbed, chemists can reconstruct what happened in individual reactions...
Japan's past economic success stems, in large part, from its business philosophy, Vogel said. While American companies tend to react drastically to economic crises, Japanese businesses are more likely to "tighten their belts and ride out" economic problems, he explained...
...Berkman and Boss take command of a match, are aggressive and make their opponents react," Krass said. "They will get better...
...mean, how do you react to something you've been waiting for ever since you became a conscious being? You jump in the air, fists clenched, a la Bruce Hurst, or you pour champagne all over your pals...
