A new cobalt catalyst designed by Paul Chirik and coworkers at Princeton University gives chemists two mechanisms for the price of one. The team’s alkene hydrogenation reaction runs differently ...

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.

When an LNO catalyst with a nickel-rich surface carries out a water-splitting reaction, its surface atoms rearrange from a cubic to a hexagonal pattern and its efficiency doubles. Deliberately ...

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have built a solar-powered reactor that converts waste plastic into hydrogen fuel ...

Better yet, the reactor works very efficiently. The team says that its production rate is up to 100 times more efficient than devices using other solar-powered catalysts. The next steps are to develop ...

A research team reports they have created an organic reaction called α-allylation with simple ketones and allyl alcohols.

Trickle-bed reactors (TBRs) represent a critical technology in the chemical process industry, combining a packed bed of catalyst with cocurrent downflow of gas and liquid. The interplay between ...

What the research is about Inside factories, raw materials mix together, heat rises, and new substances are produced ...

New research suggests aluminium could replace costly transition metals as catalysts in pharmaceuticals, benefiting India's ...

Depolymerization process. By employing high pressure, reactor operators can achieve highly efficient depolymerization of polyethylene (PE) of varying densities or polypropylene (PP). The pressure ...
