CatDRX is a generative AI framework developed at Institute of Science Tokyo, which enables the design of new chemical ...

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.

The electron is an efficient catalyst for conducting various types of radical cascade reaction that proceed by way of radical and radical ion intermediates. But because electrons are omnipresent, ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have successfully traced the mechanism behind how an industrially important ...

As a teenager in the 1960s, Charles V. Johnson of Lake Geneva, Wis., was tinkering with his chemistry set when he discovered that earwax could serve as a catalyst for making pigments. Later on, as a ...

Bert M. Weckhuysen has a dream. Someday he’d like to produce a movie showing what happens on a catalytic solid at a submolecular level. That dream remains out of reach, he admits. But after more than ...

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 ...

Enzymes are catalysts that accelerate chemical reactions in living systems. They reduce the energy required for chemical reactions to occur and act like a team of experts in construction projects, ...

Alkynes have many uses in industry. Until now, it was assumed that gold- or platinum-based catalysts were absolutely necessary for certain chemical reactions with alkynes. Chemists have now succeeded ...
