New strategy developed for synthesis of copper nanoclusters

Due to exact atomic composition and crystal structure, atomically precise copper nanoclusters are used as model catalysts for catalytic reaction mechanisms study. However, the efficient synthesis of copper nanoclusters still ...

Strong microwave magnetic fields for more efficient plasmas

Hot gases composed of metal ions and electrons, called plasmas, are widely used in many manufacturing processes, chemical synthesis, and metal extraction from ores and welding. A collaborative research group from Tohoku University ...

New methodology for anti-Markovnikow products

Tobias Ritter and his team have developed a methodology that can be used to form anti-Markovnikov products. This might be helpful to tackle synthesis problems. Their work has now been published in Nature Catalysis.

New corrosion protection that repairs itself

Skyscrapers, bridges, ships, airplanes, cars—everything humans make or build sooner or later decays. The ravages of time are known as corrosion; nothing is safe from it.

'Magic' solvent creates stronger thin films

A new all-dry polymerization technique uses reactive vapors to create thin films with enhanced properties, such as mechanical strength, kinetics and morphology. The synthesis process is gentler on the environment than traditional ...
