Traditional oxygen-ion–conducting cells require high operating temperatures, creating cost, durability, and material ...

Without the highly brilliant X-ray sources, the otherwise very weak signal would not have been measurable. While the reaction ...

This new cerium-based catalyst interconverts between two oxidation states with distinct chemical properties, enabling two completely different reactions to occur in the same container. Most of the ...

In contrast to conventional organic synthesis, mechanochemistry does not use solvents that eventually become industrial wastes. Thus, mechanochemistry is environmentally friendly and enables us to ...

A new study finds gold atoms could be key to unlocking organic (carbon-based) reactions, potential building blocks in constructing materials with electronic properties useful in energy-efficient ...

Professor Paul Chirik leads a lab researching potential new catalysts for pharmaceutical and commercial applications.

The electrodes are coated with carbon nanotubes. As they flow through the reactor, the reactants interact weakly with the carbon nanotubes, exposing them to the electric field. This induces electronic ...

As the world moves away from gas towards electricity as a greener power source, the to-do list goes beyond cars. The vast global manufacturing network that makes everything from our batteries to our ...

Amide bonds are common in drugs because they are chemically stable, form readily and are biocompatible. They also help ...
