This study presents an innovative approach to single-atom catalysts, overcoming oxidative addition challenges in cross-coupling reactions for pharmaceuticals.

Desalination plants, a major and growing source of freshwater in dry regions, could produce less harmful waste using ...

As the clouds clear on computational crystal structure prediction, is the technique ready to empower mainstream materials research? James Mitchell Crow reports ...

Researchers have discovered antiferromagnetism in a real icosahedral quasicrystal, reinvigorating the search for antiferromagnetic quasicrystals.

Membranes packed with charge help overcome the current salinity limit, making it easier to crystallize ocean salts and harvest valuable minerals from ...

The technology, called Single-Molecule Atomic-Resolution Time-resolved Electron Microscopy (SMART-EM for short), lets scientists observe individual atoms and molecules as they interact during chemical ...

For decades, scientists have known that ordinary matter — everything made of atoms — accounts for just 15% of the universe’s matter. The rest is mysterious dark matter. But even that modest slice didn ...

Cosmology these days is dominated by the search for things we are confident exist, but can’t find or explain: dark energy, dark matter, and “missing matter”. Now a large collaboration claims to have ...
