Semiconductor photocatalyst helps to realize borylation reaction

A research group led by Prof. Dai Wen from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has realized borylation reactions involving N-heterocyclic carbene boranes (NHC-BH3) with ...

A 'Jupiter' hotter than the sun

The search for exoplanets—planets that orbit stars located beyond the borders of our solar system—is a hot topic in astrophysics. Of the various types of exoplanets, one is hot in the literal sense: hot Jupiters, a class ...

Decrypting lunar craters quickly and easily

The surface of the moon tells the story of the inner solar system. Every meteorite that hits leaves its mark, and together those craters hold a record of the events that have occurred on and around the moon over the past ...

Light and nickel found to simplify cross-coupling reactions

Cross-coupling reactions—chemical transformations in which two fragments are joined together—are a valuable tool in the synthesis of organic molecules. Applications range from drug development and synthesis of naturally ...
