The electron is an efficient catalyst for conducting various types of radical cascade reaction that proceed by way of radical and radical ion intermediates. But because electrons are omnipresent, ...

Researchers develop an AI-based platform that integrates reaction data with catalyst performance for the design of new ...

Scientists examine how a little-studied catalytic phenomenon can have outsized effects on chemical efficiency and selectivity ...

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.

CatDRX is a generative AI framework developed at Institute of Science Tokyo, which enables the design of new chemical catalysts based on the specific chemical reactions in which they are used. The ...

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 ...

Bert M. Weckhuysen has a dream. Someday he’d like to produce a movie showing what happens on a catalytic solid at a submolecular level. That dream remains out of reach, he admits. But after more than ...

IN THE COMPLEX WORLD of catalysis, solid catalysts stand out as especially complex. Compared with liquid-phase catalysts, which generally are discrete molecules with clearly defined structures, solid ...

Heterogeneous catalysis refers to the form of catalysis where the phase of the catalyst differs from that of the reactants. Generally, heterogeneous catalysts include an active material distributed ...

The growing emphasis on environmental stewardship and the circular economy has accelerated interest in depolymerization ...
