Florida State University researchers have discovered a pathway within a certain type of molecule that limits chemical ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Plants use light to make energy – and a team of scientists is using the same principle to power chemical reactions. fhm/Moment via ...

Researchers have developed tiny nanoparticles that help convert carbon dioxide into methane using only ultraviolet light as an energy source. Having found a catalyst that can do this important ...

Converting a mixture of mirror-image forms, or stereoisomers, of a molecule into a single isomer is a big deal in making pharmaceuticals, because usually only one isomer is useful as a drug. But ...

Most chemical reactions take place within just a few picoseconds – that is, 10-12 seconds. Several techniques are already available for studying reactions between gases or solutions, but the dynamics ...

Waves of electricity or chemicals ripple through living tissues in many processes, including heart-muscle contractions, nerve signaling, and cell metabolism. To learn how those waves form and ...

Aerosols in the atmosphere react to incident sunlight. This light is amplified in the interior of the aerosol droplets and particles, accelerating reactions. Researchers have now been able to ...

It's pretty easy to grow vast quantities of microbes. It's a lot harder to convert those microbes into something useful. For example, we've engineered algae that, when starved for nitrogen, will put ...

DURHAM, N.C. -- Duke University researchers have developed tiny nanoparticles that help convert carbon dioxide into methane using only ultraviolet light as an energy source. Having found a catalyst ...
