Researchers from the universities of Bonn and Regensburg have developed a novel type of organic light-emitting...
A human research team and a machine learning algorithm have found that we need to rethink much of what we know about iridium oxide.
Iridium oxide is an excellent catalyst for electrochemical reactions, and is typically used for the production...
A research team from Caltech and the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering has demonstrated a promising way to efficiently convert carbon dioxide into ethylene—an important chemical used to produce plastics, solvents, cosmetics and other important products globally.
The scientists developed...
The discovery of a novel enzyme that releases a valuable chemical from agricultural waste could provide an important breakthrough in the upscaling of renewable fuels and chemicals, a new study shows.
Researchers -- led by the University of York --...

From dot-matrix to 3-D, printing technology has come a long way in 40 years. But...
ETH scientists have been able to prove that a protein structure widespread in nature – the amyloid – is theoretically capable of multiplying itself. This makes it a potential predecessor to molecules that are regarded as the building blocks...
Public water quality has received a lot of attention in recent years as some disturbing discoveries have been made regarding lead levels in cities across the country. Now, a new study from the Johns Hopkins University pinpoints other chemicals...
A new chemical compound created by researchers at West Virginia University is lighting the way for renewable energy.
The compound is a photosensitizer, meaning it promotes chemical reactions in the presence of light. It has many potential applications for improving...
Researchers have copied the way organisms produce toxic chemicals without harming themselves, paving the way for greener chemical and fuel production.
The new technique, pioneered by Imperial College London scientists, could reduce the need to use fossil fuels to create...
