A team of scientists across several U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratories has unraveled how light and a ...

Using the now-decommissioned Summit supercomputer, researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory ...

In one of Stanford’s labs, a roll of Scotch tape spins under a motorized roller. To the untrained eye, it’s an ordinary strip ...

The process became the world’s main source of nitrogen for fertiliser and was dubbed the “reaction that fed the world”. A ...

The intense electric fields generated by peeling tape can produce ‘microlightning’ that can ionise reactants and drive ...

Manufactured chemicals and materials are necessary for practically every aspect of daily life, from life-saving ...

Researchers at ETH have used nuclear magnetic resonance to find out what other atoms are bound to the platinum atoms in a single-atom catalyst and where they are spatially located. The precise ...

Chemical reactivity hazards should be addressed for all modes and phases of process operation, such as startup, normal operation, shutdown, charging, transfer, and discharging, ...

In typical catalytic reactions, the catalyst -- the substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction -- and the substrate reactants must be present in the same medium and in direct contact ...

In a chemical reaction, bonds between atoms in the reactants are broken and the atoms rearrange and form new bonds to make the products. Note: Leave this equation projected throughout the activity in ...

Reactions that would be impossible under normal circumstances—simply because there's not enough energy to push them forward—can take place in cold gasses due to quantum mechanical effects.
