The picture we have in our heads about how reactions proceed is often extremely simplified. David Glowacki recently had the pleasure to sit down with Theoretically Speaking, a podcast which is broadcast from Oxford (and which has its origins in the ‘Theory and Modelling in the Chemical Sciences’ Centre for Doctoral Training). The topic was molecular reaction dynamics, and David discussed with the podcast hosts a range of topics, including how to accurately model molecular reaction dynamics in real-world systems, and also about how new developments in virtual reality and GPU-accelerated computing enable us to visualise complex chemical systems in cutting edge research applications.
