A discovery by UCLA organic chemists may one day put catalytic converter thieves out of business. In new research, they've ...

Plutonium (Pu) exhibits one of the most diverse and complex chemistries of any element in the periodic table. Since its discovery in 1940, scientists have synthesized and studied many different types ...

The discovery of bright yet stable pigments is vanishingly rare, making them hugely valuable. Now chemist Mas Subramanian is unpicking the atomic code of colour and homing in on our most-wanted hue ...

Nagoya University scientists have created an iron-based photocatalyst that uses blue LEDs to synthesize medicinal compounds ...

A collaborative effort from researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), Sandia National ...

Key takeawaysPrecious transition metals like platinum and palladium are used as catalysts to speed up chemical reactions that produce carbon-nitrogen ...

For the first time ever, scientists have observed in near real time a cloud of air pollution created as a SpaceX rocket burned up in Earth's atmosphere.

They show up as a mathematical solution in general relativity, basically as a time-reversed version of a black hole. Some ...

Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have discovered that a specially engineered tantalum-tungsten-selenium crystal spontaneously forms atomic clusters that generate local magnetism where none ...

The Schrödinger equation rewrote the rules of matter and forever changed the field of chemistry. Donald Truhlar, a chemist at the University of Minnesota, calls it the “greatest advance of the 20th ...

All the “normal” matter, like the stars, gas, dust, and people, is called baryonic matter, and it’s basically the tiny visible fraction of a universe that’s mostly invisible and still not fully ...

Scientists studied the chemical trails, cosmic junk signatures and this lithium plume to study the trajectory of ...
