Solid catalysts underpin many of the large-scale chemical transformations used to manufacture modern materials, converting hydrocarbons — including renewable or recycled forms of carbon — into the ...

I was fascinated by the idea of jet packs when I was a kid. They were sci-fi magic, and the idea that you could strap into an oversized backpack wrapped in tinfoil and fly around was very enticing.

A major breakthrough in liquid catalysis is transforming how essential products are made, making the chemical manufacturing process faster, safer and more sustainable than ever before. Researchers ...

A new catalyst built from isolated indium atoms allows scientists to convert CO2 into methanol more efficiently while revealing the hidden chemistry that drives the reaction.

Aluminium redox catalysis and reactive aluminium clusters showcase main-group element's transition-metal-like reactivity ...

Researchers present a new generative AI model that can simultaneously design catalyst structures and predict their performance under specific reaction conditions. CatDRX is a generative AI framework ...

A chemical reaction can convert two polluting greenhouse gases into valuable building blocks for cleaner fuels and feedstocks, but the high temperature required for the reaction also deactivates the ...
