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 new catalyst design could transform how acetaldehyde is made from renewable bioethanol. Researchers found that a carefully balanced mix of gold, manganese, and copper creates a powerful synergy that ...

The building‐block chemicals behind everyday products—like shampoo bottles, food containers, and kitchen spatulas—are largely ...

The synthesis of materials can serve as a tool for developing smart, adaptive electrocatalysts. This rapidly evolving field ...

Catalysts play an indispensable role in modern manufacturing. More than 80% of all manufactured products, from pharmaceuticals to plastics, rely on catalytic processes at some stage of production.

A catalyst is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction. The catalyst is not used up or chemically changed during the reaction. Enzymes are catalysts that work inside the cells of living ...

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 ...

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 ...

Applying an external magnetic field during the synthesis of CoFe2O4 electrocatalysts triples the ammonia yield during ...
