Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have reported a breakthrough in nickel catalysis that harnesses a ...

Modern industry relies heavily on catalysts, which are substances that speed up chemical reactions. They're vital in ...

Alternatives to expensive palladium catalysts are gaining acceptance for commercial API synthesis. Cross-coupling reactions enable the synthesis of complex building blocks and intermediates with ...

Scientists are finding new ways to replace expensive, scarce platinum catalysts with something far more abundant: tungsten ...

Platinum, one of the rarest and most expensive metals on Earth, may soon find itself out of a job. Known for its allure in engagement rings, platinum is also treasured for its ability to jump-start ...

As the chemical industry looks to cut emissions, reduce toxic waste, and decarbonize its core processes, one area under close watch is catalysis. Catalysts are the unsung heroes of industrial ...

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, ...

Recent research has demonstrated that a rhodium (Rh) cluster of an optimal, intermediate size—neither too small nor too large ...

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 at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have reported a breakthrough in nickel catalysis that harnesses a rare oxidation state of nickel that has proved challenging to control yet ...
