1 Introduction Hendrik Anthony Kramers published in 1940 arguably his most famous article, entitled “Brownian Motion in a Field of Force and the Diffusion Model of Chemical Reactions”.1 Although his contributions to science were numerous and include the so-called Kramers-Kronig relations,2 the WKB method3 and much more, it is his seminal contribution to rate theory that by far has the most citations (over 7000), as may be inferred from the Web of Science. The innovations in this paper are many.

Graphical Abstract Illustration of Kramers’ turnover theory for surface diffusion. Escape rate is plotted as a function of the scaled friction for a cosine potential simulating the one-dimensional motion of Na atoms on a Cu(001) lattice at surface temperature T=110 K. Abstract In this short review, we provide an update of recent developments in Kramers’ theory of reaction rates.
