The breakthrough offers a promising new approach to reducing plastic pollution through photocatalysis, a metabolic pathway ...

Researchers developed a way to quickly calculate the transition state structure of a chemical reaction, using machine-learning models. During a chemical reaction, molecules gain energy until they ...

As the world moves away from gas towards electricity as a greener power source, the to-do list goes beyond cars. The vast global manufacturing network that makes everything from our batteries to our ...

Precious metals like palladium and platinum are often used as chemical catalysts, but true to their name, they’re expensive to source. Scientists may have just found a cheaper alternative.

New play in transition metal chemistry playbook revealed. New research shows that net oxidative addition can occur via a different order of events in which the transitiion metal complex accepts ...

Four billion years ago, the Earth looked very different than it does today, devoid of life and covered by a vast ocean. Over the course of millions of years, in that primordial soup, life emerged.

Penn State researchers have uncovered a surprising twist in a foundational chemical reaction known as oxidative addition. Typically believed to involve transition metals donating electrons to organic ...

Sunlight hits tiny particles of plastic floating in a clear water solution. Slowly, they begin to disappear, leaving behind a ...

Fuel cells are devices that produce electricity by converting chemical energy directly into electrical energy. Unlike batteries, which store electricity and eventually run out, fuel cells can keep ...
