In the realm of modern materials science, horizontally aligned carbon nanotube arrays stand as promising materials for the development of next-generation integrated circuits. However, their ...

Organocatalysis has emerged as a powerful tool in homogeneous catalysis, and especially in enantioselective catalysis. Importantly, the functional groups that are key to the reactivity of ...

Researchers have captured real-time "molecular movies" showing how an enzyme changes shape during catalysis. The study was published in Nature Communications. Using an advanced technique called ...

A collaboration between the groups of Professor Mónica H. Pérez-Temprano at the Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ) and Professor Anat Milo at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev has ...

Since their discovery in 1991, researchers have made steady progress in CNT synthesis methods. Early techniques like arc discharge and laser ablation could produce small quantities of high-quality ...

Simulations pinpoint an electronic sweet spot where nitrogen-doped graphene can drive oxygen reactions more efficiently than platinum. (Nanowerk News) While hydrogen fuel cells offer a powerful ...

Making macrocycles is an art of many compromises. The extreme conformational flexibility of long linear molecules needed to make rings containing 12 or more atoms means that ring closure is a battle ...
