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 ...

Being a human catalyst means stepping into the discomfort of transformation and modeling growth for others. This inspires trust and encourages teams to embrace their evolution. To step into this role, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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.

NH3 is one of the most important chemicals in today's world, as it is used in the production of fertilizers to boost ...

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

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 ...
