Most of the ethylene and ethanol that feed the global plastics industry start as fossil fuels. A team at the Korea Advanced ...

In the process of converting carbon dioxide into useful chemicals such as ethylene—a key precursor for plastics—a major ...

Researchers have developed a volcanic rock formula that cuts carbon emissions by 67%, potentially offering an affordable ...

A small molecule traps reaction intermediates on an electrocatalytic surface, making ethylene production more efficient and ...

When we think of charcoal or soot, we often picture a solid, inert substance. However, a significant portion of this "black ...

The global chemical industry identifies certain compounds as indispensable cornerstones of modern material science, among ...

Low-temperature CO2 hydrogenation might have sounded almost paradoxical until a recent study made it possible. Researchers have designed new catalysts that can transform the greenhouse gas into ...

A new investigation led by researchers at the African Centre of Excellence in Future Energies and Electrochemical Systems (ACE-FUELS) at the Federal University of Technology, Owerri, provides a ...

Turning carbon dioxide into useful chemicals is a key strategy for building closed-loop systems, a key step in mitigating climate change. But CO 2 is notoriously hard to activate, often requiring high ...

Scientists have created a new kind of carbon material that could make carbon capture much cheaper and more efficient. By carefully controlling how nitrogen atoms are arranged, they found certain ...

A redesigned catalyst appears to sidestep a major bottleneck in CO2-to-methanol conversion by separating where key reaction steps occur. Turning up the heat helps the reaction move faster, but it ...

Cells rely on biomolecular condensates to coordinate essential biological processes without surrounding membranes. These droplet-like dynamic assemblies control the way in which DNA is turned into ...
