The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is a key process in fuel cells and metal-air batteries, technologies expected to play a ...

Scientists have observed so-called 'roaming' chemical reactions, those that at certain points move away from the lowest minimum energy 'path of least resistance', in highly excited energy states for ...

Catalysts are the invisible engines of hydrogen energy, governing both hydrogen production and electricity generation.

WKAR News is diving deep on data centers this week as multiple proposed projects across the state face public pushback. Michigan State University professor Doug Bessette’s research focuses on finding ...

Nucleophilic substitution reactions remain a cornerstone of organic chemistry, offering a window into the fundamental aspects of reactivity and selectivity in molecular transformations. At the heart ...

In this video, I explain why some reactions explode while others cool, exploring the root cause of chemical energy. I discuss the chemistry behind endothermic and exothermic reactions, which involves ...

Researchers have demonstrated that intense laser fields, particularly at low frequencies, can significantly enhance nuclear ...

I agree 100% with the premise that nuclear power can serve our energy needs for the future. However, the use of thorium is a better choice for the smaller modular reactors. Thorium should be strongly ...

Manufactured chemicals and materials are necessary for practically every aspect of daily life, from life-saving pharmaceuticals to plastics, fuels and fertilizers. Yet manufacturing these 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 ...
