To bridge the gap between different carbon resources and vital chemicals, catalytic syngas conversion is a key pathway. A new platform for this conversion is…
It sounds like a party trick: Add water to the clear, licorice-flavored ouzo liquor, and watch it turn cloudy. This “ouzo effect” is an example…
Studying the relationship between the arrangement of water molecules incorporated into layered materials like clays and the arrangement of ions within these materials has been…
Have you ever been disappointed by the taste of a strawberry, despite its plump and red appearance? The cause might be the use of certain…
Breakthrough for modeling tunneling reactions in molecular chemistry. Tunneling reactions in chemistry are very difficult to predict. The quantum mechanically exact description of chemical reactions…
Certain diseases, including Alzheimer’s, are currently considered “undruggable” because traditional small-molecule drugs can’t interfere with the proteins responsible for the illnesses. But a new technique…
A joint effort in chemistry has resulted in an innovative method for utilizing carbon dioxide in a positive – even beneficial – manner: through electrosynthesis,…
Scientists at PNNL are charting a profitable course for carbon capture through carbon upcycling, unlocking a crucial step in the decarbonization process and moving closer…
