New research shows that metal-oxide catalysts can sometimes release oxygen from within their structure, enhancing chemical activity. Chemical reactions that release oxygen in the presence of a ...

Reaction dynamics in oxygen reactions is a multifaceted field that explores the time-dependent evolution of reactive systems and the pathways through which chemical bonds are broken and reformed.

Scientists have discovered that physically confined spaces can make for more efficient chemical reactions. Physically confined spaces can make for more efficient chemical reactions, according to ...

Researchers at Binghamton University led research partnering with the Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN)—a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility at Brookhaven National ...

The global energy crisis and environmental concerns are driving the development of clean and efficient energy conversion technologies. Electrocatalytic water splitting has emerged as a promising ...

Platinum, one of the rarest and most expensive metals on Earth, may soon find itself out of a job. Known for its allure in engagement rings, platinum is also treasured for its ability to jump-start ...

The discovery of graphene—a one-atom-thick sheet of covalently bonded carbon atoms—inspired the research community to generate a variety of 2D materials. Graphene, MoS 2, the silicon equivalent of ...

The humble stir bar is a ubiquitous workhorse of the chemistry lab that has swirled its way into researchers’ hearts. But it seems that magnetic stirrers have also been mixing things up in a different ...

The spontaneity of redox reactions is demonstrated using copper, zinc, and silver, and their cations. When solid zinc is placed in Cu2+ solution, the blue color of the solution becomes less intense as ...
