Using a smart computational search, scientists discovered a catalyst ingredient that finally makes tough alkyl ketones behave the way chemists want. The reaction now runs cleanly and reliably, opening ...

UNC researchers have created a new molecule that could eventually shorten the drug development timeline for diseases and therapies. Drug manufacturers frequently have to discard what they create as ...

A recent advance in the science of hydrogen fuel production could enable higher output and more sustainable production of ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Researchers report that they have created a man-made catalyst that is an "enzyme mimic." Unlike most enzymes, which act on a single target, the new catalyst can alter the chemical ...

University of Pittsburgh researchers have made an important step toward providing hospitals and water treatment facilities ...

Turning methane into ethylene with sunlight sounds like alchemy, but it is rapidly moving into the realm of practical chemistry. A new generation of solar-driven catalysts promises to convert a potent ...

The catalysts that buzz around inside a reaction are rather like a swarm of midges—you know they’re there, but each one is so small and fast that they seem impossibly difficult to track in flight.

Note: This video is designed to help the teacher better understand the lesson and is NOT intended to be shown to students. It includes observations and conclusions that students are meant to make on ...

In a year that has already battered manufacturing supply chains, yet another shortage is complicating manufacturers' and consumers' lives: plastics, and the food packaging, automotive components, ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Although it is less abundant than carbon dioxide, methane gas contributes disproportionately to global warming because it traps more heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, due to ...
