Steady state iso topic transient kinetic analysis (SSITKA ) is a powerful technology to study heterogeneous catalytic reactions, by which the reaction mechanisms and other in situkinetic information, such as quantity, life, coverages of in term ediates,rate constant of elementary reaction, quantity and distribution of reactive sites can be obtained. In the present paper, the apparatus of SS ITKA , reactors, acquirement of kinetic parameters, inference of reaction mechanisms, and the combination of SS ITKA with insitu FTIR were summarized.

This review described research progress of intracluster chemical reactions,including intracluster electron or charge transfer, proton transfer, Penning ionization,reactions of excited atoms with molecules and bimolecule reactions.

DNA computer is a kind of computer which is based on the biochemical reactions of DNA strands. The principles, development, feasibility, advantage and disadvantage of DNA computer are described.

The basic concept of solgel chemistry was briefly described by an instance from SiO2 nanosized materials. The research progress and problems in chemical tailoring and structure property control were discussed. It is pointed that the solgel technique has become a main method for syntheses of nano2sized materials via chemical tailoring.
