Josefina Ventre; Agustina L. Renna; Francisco J. Ibañez – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
It is crucial nowadays to predict in a fast and simple manner physical-chemical behaviors like, the size-dependent optical properties of gold nanospheres (Au NSs). The idea behind this experiment is trying to replace (as much as possible) robust and expensive microscopy techniques with UV-vis spectrophotometry and friendly simulations. Students…

Morgan I. D. Johnson; Lavinia Mbongo; Amy J. Managh – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
An ICP-MS simulation was developed to support the teaching of inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. The app enables students to conduct the quantification of selenium in a nutritional supplement, monitor the uptake of metallodrugs by cells, and perform qualitative analysis of gunshot residue. The experiments teach a range of analytical…

Andre´ A. Souto – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Augmented reality (AR) filters are digital interactions applied to users' faces or environment to add to or change what they are seeing in the real world. By using free software, it is possible to easily make many AR filters for learning chemistry. Here I show how to make AR filters of molecular models and post them on social media in just two…

Hootan Roshandel; Matthew Shammami; Shiyun Lin; Yin-Pok Wong; Paula L. Diaconescu – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
The rise of virtual and online education in recent years has led to the development and popularization of many online tools, notably three-dimensional (3D) models and augmented reality (AR), for visualizing various structures in chemical sciences. The majority of the developed tools focus on either small molecules or biological systems, as…

Fisher, Aidan A. E. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
The drive in computational methods and more intuitive software has seen a rise in the number of publications in this area in recent years. Computational simulations can be found in many areas of science from computational biology and chemistry to fundamental physics. These may help synthetic chemists in their drug discovery endeavors and…

Wolf, Mark E.; Norris, J. Widener; Fynewever, Herb; Turney, Justin M.; Schaefer, Henry F., III – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Over the past half century, computational chemistry has evolved from a niche field to a ubiquitous pillar of modern chemical research. Driven by the increased demand for computational chemistry in research settings, the undergraduate curriculum has evolved alongside to ensure that students are well-equipped for modern research. Toward this end,…

Brandon Thrope; Alan Rogerio Ferreira Lima; Alexandre Henrique Pinto – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Recently there is an increasing need for experiments that can be conducted remotely. In this sense, this paper presents three experiments about materials science and an X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique that can be taught and performed entirely remotely. The first experiment is about the calculation of lattice parameters, atomic radii, and…

Pedro A. Fernandes; O´scar Passos; Maria J. Ramos – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought many challenges to human beings, related to not only health and way of life but also teaching because of the interruption of the standard training at universities imposed by lockdowns. Concerning the latter, the academic community had to reinvent itself, in many ways, to carry on with prepandemic education. This…

Langbeheim, Elon – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
Excluded-volume interactions are ubiquitous to modeling the average size of polymers in solution. This paper shows how simulations can be used by students to explore the emergence of mathematical scaling relations from excluded-volume interactions. Simulations provide robust visual representations of the system, and can be used to investigate a…

Charlotte A. Dodson; Stephen E. Flower; Mark Thomas – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Industrial drug discovery teams encompass scientists from multiple specialties and require participants to communicate effectively across disciplinary boundaries. In this paper, we present an undergraduate or graduate classroom simulation of this environment. Over a series of five workshops, student teams of mixed scientific backgrounds perform…

Rose, John; Pennington, Richard; Behmke, Derek; Kerven, David; Lutz, Robert; Paredes, Julia E. Barker – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
A series of organic chemistry synthesis problem sets were provided to students. Potential solution pathways and strategies were recorded on video by the instructor and provided to students electronically via YouTube. Performance on the end-of-semester synthesis exam showed significant gains, with the average increasing by 13% after the…

Managh, Amy J.; Reid, Peter; Knox, Matthew A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
A new app, freely available for Windows computers, has been developed to simulate tuning of an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer, on the basis of optimization data collected using a sector-field instrument. The app allows students to adjust parameters, including the torch position, gas flows, radio-frequency power, and guard-electrode…
