Researchers have developed tiny nanoparticles that help convert carbon dioxide into methane using only ultraviolet light as an energy source. Having found a catalyst that can do this important ...

A recent collaborative report, published in Science, including RASEI Fellow Niels Damrauer, addresses a key issue for light-driven chemistry, potentially opening up possibilities for future ...

Waves of electricity or chemicals ripple through living tissues in many processes, including heart-muscle contractions, nerve signaling, and cell metabolism. To learn how those waves form and ...

Chemists use gold nanorods to transfer light energy to molecules without contact, enabling efficient, low-waste, light-driven reactions. (Nanowerk News) Scientists are exploring many ways to use light ...

Light exposure can trigger the seminal, 110-year-old Ullmann reaction—which typically forges C–N bonds via heat and a copper complex—showing that the reaction can proceed via single-­electron transfer ...

Most chemical reactions take place within just a few picoseconds – that is, 10-12 seconds. Several techniques are already available for studying reactions between gases or solutions, but the dynamics ...
