Researchers reveal why trace amounts of alloy added to some catalysts keep them performing better over time. The study ...

Chemists have used visible light and extremely tiny nanoparticles to quickly and simply make molecules that are of the same class as many lead compounds for drug development. Driven by light, the ...

A nanotechnology pioneer has uncovered a transformative approach to harnessing the catalytic power of aluminum nanoparticles by annealing them in various gas atmospheres at high temperatures.

A research team in Korea has synthesized metal nanoparticles that can drastically improve the performance of hydrogen fuel cell catalysts by using the semiconductor manufacturing technology. The Korea ...

Traditional catalysts in the RWGS reaction are made from precious metals, including platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd) and gold (Au), limiting the cost efficiency of the reaction. Because of this, new ...

Northwestern researchers, including Professors Chad A. Mirkin, Chris Wolverton, and Vinayak Dravid, developed a new method for making highly desirable catalysts from metal nanoparticles, potentially ...

Across the U.S., hundreds of sites on land or in lakes and rivers are heavily contaminated with hazardous waste produced by ...

Five years ago, the idea that a single atom on a solid surface could catalyze a reaction seemed outlandish to many scientists. They reasoned that if isolated atoms could be supported on a solid—a big ...

New research suggests a revolutionary new way to tackle the planet’s growing plastic problem. A new nanoparticle catalyst that mimics natural processes could ‘down-cycle’ plastics for re-use. Plastic ...

HOUSTON – (March 5, 2024) – Catalysts unlock pathways for chemical reactions to unfold at faster and more efficient rates, and the development of new catalytic technologies is a critical part of the ...
