A catalyst using a single or just a few palladium atoms removed 90% of unburned methane from natural gas engine exhaust at low temperatures in a recent study. While more research needs to be done, the advance in single atom ...
NH3 is not only the key chemical raw material for the industry but also a carbon-free fuel and mobile carrier of renewable energy in the future. So far, industrial NH3 synthesis is still dominated by the traditional Haber-Bosch ...
Chemists at King's College London have made a breakthrough in the way they develop artificial helix shapes for the amino acids that constitute proteins. These new synthetic shapes have the potential to transform processes ...
Asymmetric synthesis and catalysis have been actively pursued in chemical and materials sciences for some time. Increasing numbers of drugs and pesticides contain chiral structural units in their structures since drug actions ...
Liquid metal, planet-like nanodroplets have been successfully formed with a new technique developed at RMIT University, Australia. Like our own planet Earth, the nanodroplets feature an outer "crust," a liquid metal "mantle," ...
Click chemistry could help to synthesize a variety of molecules quickly and reliably by piecing together small units. In particular, it emphasizes the development of new combinatorial chemistry methods based on the synthesis ...
A study by Lionel Delaude and François Mazars, researchers from the Laboratory of Catalysis at the University of Liège (Belgium), has shown that caffeine and theophylline can be used to "green" catalysts based on ruthenium. ...
Fluorine is rarely found in naturally occurring organic molecules. However, this chemical element is indispensable for the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Synthetic chemistry has an important role to play ...
Developing new and more-efficient catalytic ways to control chemical reactivity and selectivity has been a constant quest for chemists in the fields of chemical manufacturing and fundamental research. Growing evidence points ...
Since the Industrial Revolution, the global economy has experienced rapid development, which is closely tied to the exploitation of natural energy resources. However, it has led to a gradual depletion of energy resources ...
