(Phys.org) —A team made up of researchers from France, Germany, the U.K. and the U.S. has found that chemical reactions that result in the formation of new molecules tend to run much faster when confined to a very small space. In their paper published in Physical Review Letters, the team describes experiments they carried out that showed that certain chemical reactions that occurred in micro-droplets ran much faster than similar reactions occurring in a non-constricting environment.
