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 ...

Hydrogen peroxide decomposes on its own into water and oxygen gas. This process is sped up by a catalyst. In this reaction, the catalyst is potassium permanganate, and the bubbles are full of oxygen ...

Heterogeneous catalysts speed up chemical reactions by being in a different state than the reactants. They are efficient and ...

Catalysis using gold has fast become a major research field with great potential, and many new discoveries are being made. Graham Hutchings reflects on how this has come about. Gold is the most ...

However, work that has appeared in print in a short form such as a Catalysis Science & Technology Communication or Chemical Communication is normally acceptable. There is no restriction on the length ...

This study aimed to use triarylboranes as catalysts, but because of their relatively complex structures, there are ...

Noble metals such as platinum can make useful catalysts to accelerate chemical reactions, particularly hydrogenation (adding ...

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.

Hailee Shin, a graduate student in Stanislav Presolski’s lab at Yale-NUS College, wants to use molecules such as this one as light-triggered organic catalysts to start and stop a reaction using ...

We are CatLab, a research group from University of Helsinki focusing on catalysis and green chemistry. As a part of the Synthesis and analysis research programme, our facilities are located in the ...
