The use of catalysis to convert chemical energy into motion on the nanometer scale is widespread in nature. The synthesis of adenosine triphosphate in living cells, for example, relies on the power of ...

The catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide can be dangerous at high concentrations, but there is a safe version of Camille Schrier’s demonstration that is still fun. By Knvul Sheikh When she ...

The directed transport of microparticles in microfluidic devices is vital for efficient bioassays and fabrication of complex microstructures. There remains, however, a need for methods to propel and ...

A sprinkling of magnetic nanoparticles is just enough to power up catalysts, so they can make hydrogen peroxide production more efficient. Researchers have achieved a breakthrough in improving the ...

HOUSTON - (Feb. 9, 2021) - Rice University researchers have created a "defective" catalyst that simplifies the generation of hydrogen peroxide from oxygen. Rice scientists treated metal-free carbon ...

By fine-tuning the surroundings of single cobalt atoms, researchers reveal how tiny design changes can steer oxygen reactions ...
