New platinum-based catalysts with tensile surface strain could improve fuel cell efficiency

Researchers have uncovered powerful light-harvesting secrets of photosynthetic cryptophyte algae

Researchers have achieved a breakthrough in two-dimensional stacking of antiaromatic materials

“Potential applications of this finding could include storage and release of hydrogen or natural gas to run your car, or in industrial uses where the frameworks could trap and separate dangerous gases to keep them from entering the atmosphere” 

Chemists have developed a method that produces cyclic depsipeptides in a single step with high yields and in unusually large sizes, ranging up to rings with 60 atoms

“Everybody’s heard of blood diamonds, but maybe people haven’t heard of blood cobalt or tantalum or lithium”

“Our discovery is exciting in that it provides both new fundamental understanding and new materials, and useful applications are always built on a foundation of fundamental understanding”

Scientists study the properties of this quasi-liquid layer on ice at the molecular level using advanced surface-specific spectroscopy and computer simulations

“By changing one carbon atom in the backbone of an alkane molecule, we can make it flow 30 times faster”

Chemist Oliver Trapp has designed and synthesized a catalyst that flexibly molds the handedness of the reaction products with which it interacts
