Gas-switch reduction enables alloying in supported catalysts

Supported catalysts are systems in which the active catalytic materials, such as metals, are dispersed on a solid support material, such as alumina, silica, etc. These catalysts are widely used in various chemical processes. ...

Bamboo dishes may leach pesticides and melamine into food

So-called "eco-friendly" bamboo and other bio-based dishes, often marketed as natural and safe alternatives to plastic, may release potentially harmful chemicals into food, according to a new study led by researchers at the ...
