Each year, billions upon billions of tons of CO 2 are pumped into the atmosphere. A significant proportion of this ends up in Earth's oceans, where it can react with water to form carbonic acid, which ...

Using the now-decommissioned Summit supercomputer, researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory ran the largest and most accurate molecular dynamics simulations yet of the ...

Water vapour and microscopic clusters of water molecules play a pivotal role in modulating gas‐phase processes that govern air quality, pollutant lifetimes and secondary aerosol formation. By forming ...

Since our research focus for years has been on bio- and chemocatalytic synthesis in water, I read with great interest “Some Organic Chemists Want to Turn on the Tap of a Familiar Solvent” (C&EN, July ...

Organic chemists have tended to avoid using water to host reactions, largely because their carbon-based molecules rarely dissolve in the liquid. Now, Burkhard König at the University of Regensburg has ...

NH 3 is not only the key chemical raw material for the industry but also a carbon-free fuel and mobile carrier of renewable energy in the future. So far, industrial NH 3 synthesis is still dominated ...

Using an advanced technique, scientists from the RIKEN Cluster for Pioneering Research have demonstrated that a chemical reaction powered by light takes place ten thousand times faster at the ...

Chemists have been searching for efficient catalysts to convert methane into methanol. Adding water to the reaction can address certain challenges, but it also complicates the process. Now a team has ...

$${\text{BrO}} + {\text{HO}}_{2} \to {\text{HOBr}} + {\text{O}}_{2}$$ In this work, the detailed channels of BrO + HO 2 reaction on the singlet potential energy ...

Using an advanced technique, scientists have demonstrated that a chemical reaction powered by light takes place ten thousand times faster at the air-water interface -- what we usually call the water ...
