IBS researchers in South Korea extend the understanding of energy flow in chemical reactions and show that it may produce useful molecular swimmers. Steve Granick,…
Solid acids are amongst the most essential heterogeneous catalysts, which have the potential to replace environmentally harmful liquid acids, in some of the most important…
Merging methodologies from physics and chemistry for the optical spectroscopy of superheavy elements. Superheavy elements are intriguing nuclear and atomic quantum systems that challenge experimental…
New method for producing thermoset plastics allows them to be broken down more easily after use. Thermosets, which include epoxies, polyurethanes, and rubber used for…
The source of thermodynamic instability found in “rattling” behavior. Researchers in the Cava Group at the Princeton University Department of Chemistry have demystified the reasons…
A technique developed by Miami University associate professors of chemistry and biochemistry Dominik Konkolewicz and Rick Page may help enable more rapid and efficient development…
Encapsulating multiple molecular catalysts in nanoporous metal-organic frameworks central to efficient transformation. Converting carbon dioxide to methanol, a potentially renewable alternative fuel, offers an opportunity…
Unusual nanoparticles could benefit the quest to build a quantum computer. Imagine tiny crystals that “blink” like fireflies and can convert carbon dioxide, a key…
Synthesizing an alternative fuel for muscle could lead to medical advances. A chemist and kinesiologist got on a bus, but this isn’t the set-up to…
Chemists at the University of Münster develop a bioinspired strategy for the controlled synthesis of polyenes. They occur in nature, are reactive, and play a…
Sure, you’ve got a product that says “kills germs” under your sink, but will it really destroy the new coronavirus on surfaces? Turns out that…
For the first time, Rochester chemical engineers have demonstrated a ‘potassium-promoted’ catalyst’s potential for use on an industrial scale. Now, the Navy’s quest to power…
They discovered the messy environment of a chemical reaction can actually change the shape of a catalytic nanoparticle in a way that makes it more…
Chemists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and their collaborators have created a highly efficient and long-lasting solar flow battery, a way to generate, store, and…
2-Chlorobenzalmalononitrile, better known as CS gas, is one of the most common tear gases used in the United States today, but did you know it’s…
