Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) have developed a method that gives access to the valuable raw ...

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 ...

Researchers have invented a groundbreaking new catalyst technology that converts renewable materials like trees and corn to the key chemicals, acrylic acid, and acrylates used in paints, coatings, and ...

Researchers at The University of Manchester have developed a groundbreaking air-stable ruthenium catalyst. The new catalyst maintains high reactivity while eliminating the need for specialized ...

Researchers have unveiled a low cost metal catalyst that can tear apart plastic waste around ten times more efficiently than traditional platinum based systems, potentially slashing the cost of ...

A carefully engineered gold catalyst has just pushed green chemistry into new territory, setting a performance benchmark that had resisted improvement for a decade. By pairing tiny deposits of gold ...

Scientists have figured out a new way to strong-arm some catalysts, tying the chemical compounds down and then, as needed, unleashing them with brute force. The research, published online April 6 in ...

A catalyst that significantly enhances ammonia conversion could improve wastewater treatment, green chemical and hydrogen production. A catalyst that significantly enhances ammonia conversion could ...

Enzymes are catalysts that accelerate chemical reactions in living systems. They reduce the energy required for chemical reactions to occur and act like a team of experts in construction projects, ...

Laboratories turned to a smart workaround when COVID‑19 testing kits became scarce in 2020. They mixed samples from several ...
