Beaton’s passion took him to Oxford for a PhD, then back to the U.S., where he had a string of posts with the U.S. Air Force, ...

The high school chemistry description of a catalyst is pretty simple: it’s a substance that helps a reaction to proceed without being consumed in the process. Take the case of the jet pack ...

This article presents a case study that illustrates how independent catalyst testing was utilized to identify the most effective diesel hydrotreating catalyst.

ANEMEL researchers have created a catalyst for water splitting that's efficient and stable, without relying on scarce ...

NH3 is one of the most important chemicals in today's world, as it is used in the production of fertilizers to boost agricultural yields and sustain the ever-growing global population. For over 100 ...

Combining the plastics in a high-pressure reactor with ethylene gas and the catalyst materials breaks the polymer chains up into component molecules that can be used to make new plastics.

Researchers at Kyushu University have developed a device that combines a catalyst and microwave flow reaction to efficiently convert complex polysaccharides into simple monosaccharides.

"One is sintering, in which you lose surface sites that undertake the reaction. The other is the formation of coke—basically solid carbon that blocks the catalyst from contacting the reactants." ...

Alloys traditionally consist of two or more metallic elements, with secondary elements enhancing the properties of a primary ...

A study appearing in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences introduces a trimetallic catalyst—including nickel (Ni), ...
