Quantum chromodynamics is an area of study that explores the strong interactions between quarks mediated by gluons. Quarks are elementary particles with an electric charge, which are building blocks of composite particles, ...
Stereochemistry, or the study of spatial arrangements of the atoms in a molecule, is a highly explored subdiscipline of organic chemistry. It has led to the synthesis of numerous chiral compounds—compounds with non-superimposable ...
