Chemistry and catalysis

A better understanding of this process could inform the next generation of artificial photosynthetic systems that produce clean and renewable energy.

The results could lead to a better understanding of reactions with vital roles in chemistry and biology.

Scientists who perform experiments at SLAC’s lightsources gathered online for research talks, workshops and discussions.

High-power lasers will work in concert with the lab’s X-ray laser to dramatically improve our understanding of matter in extreme conditions.

This is the first direct observation of a hydroxyl-hydronium complex – important for a wide range of chemical and biological processes from the tails of comets to cancer treatment.

The award recognizes her research and service at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource.

Much like crystallizing rock candy from sugar syrup, the new method grows 2D perovskites precisely layered with other 2D materials to produce crystals with a wide range of electronic properties.

The award recognizes Aitbekova's work on catalysts, including a new catalyst that may revolutionize car emission controls.

Researchers at the University of Leeds deepened their understanding of a synthetic detergent without ever setting foot in the lab where their experiments took place.

Anchoring individual iridium atoms on the surface of a catalytic particle boosted its performance in carrying out a reaction that’s been a bottleneck for sustainable energy production.

The work sheds light on the web of hydrogen bonds that gives water its strange properties, which play a vital role in many chemical and biological processes.
