Researchers have shown that placing individual metal atoms on carefully chosen supports can dramatically sharpen the ...

A research team at King’s College London has isolated a triangular aluminum compound, called a cyclotrialumane, that can ...

The field of catalysis, particularly in oxidation reactions, occupies a central role in modern chemistry and industrial processes. These reactions underpin energy conversion, environmental remediation ...

Researchers have created a cutting-edge catalyst that turns CO2 into methanol more efficiently than ever before. Instead of ...

A catalyst is a key ingredient for many chemical reactions. It facilitates a molecule to change into another molecule, without being changed itself, meaning it can be used multiple times. However, ...

Catalysis is a fundamental process in chemical science whereby a catalyst accelerates a chemical reaction without itself being consumed. By providing an alternative reaction pathway with a lower ...

CHESTNUT HILL, MA (Dec. 13, 2012) – A chemical nanostructure developed by Boston College researchers behaves much like the pores of the skin, serving as a precise control for a typically stubborn ...

In a recent study published in ACS Catalysis, researchers at Chiba University unveiled a redox-adaptive strategy that allows a single homogeneous cerium catalyst to catalyze two chemically distinct ...

The enzymes responsible for catalytic reactions in our body's biological reactions are difficult to use for diagnosis or treatment as they react only to certain molecules or have low stability. Many ...

For the first time, chemists have developed a titanium catalyst that makes light usable for selective chemical reactions. It provides a cost-effective and non-toxic alternative to the ruthenium and ...

Catalysts are at the heart of most man-made and natural chemical reactions. Metal catalysts serve as the linchpin for producing many of the chemicals we use on a daily basis, such as gasoline, ...
