A new type of catalyst that uses five times less platinum than usual could help make hydrogen production more affordable in ...

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.

Researchers have unveiled a low cost metal catalyst that can tear apart plastic waste around ten times more efficiently than traditional platinum based systems, potentially slashing the cost of ...

A new kind of methane reactor is promising something that has long sounded too good to be true: turning fossil gas into clean hydrogen while locking the carbon away in valuable nanotubes instead of ...

Scientists are finding new ways to replace expensive, scarce platinum catalysts with something far more abundant: tungsten ...

Scientists have made an advancement in the field of electrocatalysis. Their latest research sheds light on how catalysts can stay in unanticipated forms during the process of nitrate reduction. The ...

Important everyday products—from plastics to detergents—are made through chemical reactions that mostly use precious metals such as platinum as catalysts. Scientists have been searching for more ...

There’s a good chance you owe your existence to the Haber-Bosch process. This industrial chemical reaction between hydrogen and nitrogen produces ammonia, the key ingredient to synthetic fertilizers ...
