MADISON, Wis. — A multi-institutional team has resolved a long-unanswered question about how two of the world's most common substances interact. In a paper published recently in the journal Nature ...

The kinetics of the pyrolysis of propane inhibited by nitric oxide were investigated from 640 to 560 ⚬C and at partial pressures of propane from 25 to 550 mm Hg. The pressure-time curves were found to ...

Scientists have discovered that physically confined spaces can make for more efficient chemical reactions. Physically confined spaces can make for more efficient chemical reactions, according to ...

Under the threat of climate change and geopolitical tensions related to fossil fuels, the world faces an urgent need to find ...

The word displace means to push out. A more reactive element can displace a less reactive element out of its compound during a chemical reaction. Displacement reactions can be used to investigate the ...

Researchers to get a better look at how peroxides on the surface of copper oxide promote the oxidation of hydrogen but inhibit the oxidation of carbon monoxide, allowing them to steer oxidation ...
