As part of an international team, researchers from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have synthesized an ...

A new metallic compound has shattered a long standing barrier in heat management, conducting thermal energy nearly three times faster than the best conventional metals. The material, a special form of ...

For more than a century, the well-known 18-electron rule has guided the field of organometallic chemistry. Now, researchers at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), in collaboration with ...

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 ...

Why it matters: For more than a century, copper and silver have set the standard for thermal conductivity in metals. A new study by UCLA engineers and their collaborators challenges that assumption, ...
