Researchers have created a form of platinum that can remain liquid at room temperature, by mixing tiny amounts of the precious metal with gallium. This new liquid platinum performs catalytic reactions ...

Disney stock has rallied almost 20% in the past three months, outperforming the broader market. The stock is undervalued from a multiples perspective and has significant upside potential according to ...

The rapid accumulation of plastic waste is currently posing significant risks for both human health and the environment on ...

A research team from the University of Tokyo has developed a method for efficiently recovering materials from a variety of epoxy-based products using a novel solid catalyst. The study was published in ...

National University of Singapore (NUS) chemists have developed an “anchoring-borrowing” strategy, combined with facet engineering, to develop a new class of artful single-atom catalysts (ASACs). These ...

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 oversized backpack wrapped in tinfoil and fly around was very enticing.

Alkylate is in short supply in the US. The renewable fuels standard (RFS) mandates the use of ethanol in gasoline. The high vapor pressure of ethanol requires a reduction in other light gasoline ...

Sulfur, long feared as a "poison" that shuts down precious metal catalysts, can actually help them work better when ...

Many industrial-scale chemical processes are driven by solid catalysts consisting of tiny chunks of a noble metal such as platinum or rhodium dispersed on a solid support—often a metal oxide. Known as ...

Catalysts are substances that speed up chemical reactions or allow them to occur at lower temperatures or pressures. 1 When catalysts are used to control and enhance reactions, the process is called ...
