Scientists have discovered a way to control chemical reactions by carefully arranging copper atoms on a carbon-based material. With just tiny changes at the atomic scale, the same material can be ...

How do you keep a copper catalyst from losing its oomph? Just add a dusting of platinum, says a new study published in Nature Materials. A team of researchers, including scientists at the Department ...

Almost half a century ago, a remarkable molecule called metallocene took center stage in chemistry, earning Geoffrey Wilkinson and Ernst Otto Fischer the Nobel Prize. These organic compounds, made of ...

Just like we recycle waste, repurposing excess CO2 from the atmosphere could be one way to abate the worsening climate crisis. In electrochemical reduction, CO2 is converted into industrial products ...

Researchers report a Cu-based catalyst on graphitic carbon nitride with tunable atomic configurations, revealing that intercalated Cu dual-atom selectively drives CO2 reduction to methane with 88% ...

Researchers from Fuzhou University have developed a revolutionary surface engineering strategy that dramatically enhances the performance and longevity of aqueous zinc metal batteries (ZMBs), a ...

Adding iron to a copper-based propellant MOF simultaneously solves its water stability problem and boosts laser propulsion ...

The copper isotope Cu-64 plays an important role in medicine: it is used in imaging processes and also shows potential for cancer therapy. However, it does not occur naturally and must be produced ...

In a first, researchers have developed a new copper alloy that's one of the most resilient copper-based materials ever made. The new alloy, a mixture of copper, tantalum and lithium, was built on ...
