Chemists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have found a new use for deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), not just as ...

A new gold-perovskite catalyst achieves record-high acetaldehyde yields from bioethanol at lower temperatures. Acetaldehyde plays an important role as a chemical building block and is commonly ...

Previously, chemists tried to reduce CO 2 formation by coating iron catalysts with hydrophobic materials or graphene layers, ...

A computational method accurately predicts the optimal ligand for a photochemical palladium catalyst, enabling new radical reactions of alkyl ketones. Ketones are common components in many organic ...

Axially chiral indoles are crucial in synthetic and biological contexts, yet atroposelective halogenation remains underexplored. Here, the authors achieve catalytic and enantioselective iodination of ...

Lignin as a catalyst support offers a sustainable approach to catalysis, potentially transforming industrial practices and ...

A novel catalysis scheme enables chemical reactions that were previously virtually impossible. The method is also environmentally friendly and does not require rare and precious metals. The ...

Dr. Johannes Fessler of the Leibniz Institute for Catalysis in Rostock has created novel techniques for manufacturing pharmacological precursors employing iron, manganese, and cobalt catalysts. These ...

Scientists have long noted with interest that in one of nature's crucial chemical reactions—the oxygen evolution reaction—it ...

Polyoxometalates (POMs) look like tiny, perfectly ordered mandalas—complex molecular cages made of metal and oxygen atoms.

In the third major deal in the catalyst space in recent months, the chemical firm Albemarle plans to sell much of its ...
