Scientists at the Institute of Science Tokyo (Science Tokyo) have successfully realized the highly selective asymmetric 1,6 ...

Brookhaven Lab chemist Ping Liu and Stony Brook University graduate student Hong Zhang developed a theoretical framework to predict the behavior of catalysts under reaction conditions. The framework ...

More efficient and sustainable energy conversion technologies, among other applications, hinge on lowering the amount of energy needed to trigger specific reactions on the surface of electrodes.

Propene is one of the most important basic petrochemicals widely used for the production of polypropylene, solvents, acrylic acid, etc. The conventional routes for the manufacture of this building ...

Chemists describe the key features of a catalyst that determine its selectivity for transforming CO2 and ethane (C2H6) into synthesis gas (useful for generating electricity or making liquid fuels) or, ...

The researchers have developed a technology for synthesizing KA oil (a mixture of cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol), a raw material of nylon, etc., at room temperature and atmospheric pressure by direct ...

As oil supplies shrink, chemical processes that turn coal or biomass such as corn into liquid hydrocarbons will become more important, says chemist Maurice Brookhart of the University of North ...

To enable early diagnosis of acute illnesses and effective management of chronic conditions, point-of-care testing (POCT) technology—diagnostics conducted near the patient—is drawing global attention.

Researchers have developed a new class of redox-switchable molecular mediators that activate halogen bonding to more efficiently and selectively drive carbon-nitrogen bond formation. (Nanowerk News) ...
