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 ...

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

Rhodium is one of the most powerful catalytic metals known to chemistry. Small amounts of it can drive reactions that produce ...

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 ...

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 ...
