The pH, or the acidity or alkalinity of an environment, has long been known to affect how efficiently catalysts drive key ...

Lignin as a catalyst support offers a sustainable approach to catalysis, potentially transforming industrial practices and ...

A new gold-perovskite catalyst achieves record-high acetaldehyde yields from bioethanol at lower temperatures. Acetaldehyde plays an important role as a chemical building block and is commonly ...

I was fascinated by the idea of jet packs when I was a kid. They were sci-fi magic, and the idea that you could strap into an oversized backpack wrapped in tinfoil and fly around was very enticing.

For more than two centuries, fossil fuels have dominated global energy and chemical production, accounting for over 80% of ...

The energy transition requires not only new sources but also efficient ways to store and transport energy. Scientists at Kiel ...

Enzymes are masters of making molecules. They accomplish exquisitely selective chemistry in water, and scientists have used the technique of directed evolution to modify existing enzymes to carry out ...

Two Americans and a Japanese scientist won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced this morning, for their work creating catalysts that speed reactions toward a ...

Alkynes have many uses in industry. Until now, it was assumed that gold- or platinum-based catalysts were absolutely necessary for certain chemical reactions with alkynes. Chemists have now succeeded ...
