Speeding up chemical reactions is key to improving industrial processes or mitigating unwanted or harmful waste. Realizing these improvements requires that chemists design around documented reaction ...

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 ...

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are a new family of 2D nanomaterials with the chemical formula MX 2, where M is a transition metal from groups IV-VI (Mo, Ta, and W) and X is a chalcogen from ...

This article was written by Jim Wiederhold, Commodity Indices Product Manager at Bloomberg. The global economy is fueled by commodities. Ever since the industrial revolution, the production and ...

Direct oxidation of methane to methanol is dominated by transition- or noble-metal-based catalysts, thus making the reaction quite expensive. To make the process efficient and cost-effective, ...
