Chinese researchers captured oxygen atoms traveling through the interior of a catalyst, not just on its surface. This breakthrough could revolutionize how we design cleaner, more efficient chemical reactions.
Researchers have developed a breakthrough method to predict which materials best convert sunlight into hydrogen fuel and valuable chemicals. The discovery could dramatically speed up the hunt for next-generation solar catalysts.
Scientists can now use artificial intelligence to predict which catalyst materials will work best before ever stepping into a lab. This breakthrough could slash years off the timeline for developing clean energy and pollution control technologies.
Researchers discovered that adding just one platinum atom per hundred copper atoms keeps industrial catalysts working at full strength. This breakthrough could make manufacturing everything from medicine to fuel more efficient and sustainable.
Scientists created an AI team that automated months of research in days, discovering 13 promising new catalysts to make fertilizer production cleaner. The breakthrough could help slash the fertilizer industry's massive carbon footprint while feeding the world.
Scientists just solved the biggest bottleneck in materials discovery with an AI that suggests how to actually make breakthrough materials in minutes instead of months. The model already helped create a new heat-resistant material that could improve everything from catalysts to clean energy.
IBM's new quantum computer can now run complex calculations 30% deeper than before, potentially cutting years off the time needed to discover better solar panels, batteries, and green hydrogen catalysts. By 2028, the company plans to scale this technology to tackle chemistry problems that today's supercomputers can't solve.
Researchers discovered that rhodium clusters of about 10 atoms work better than single atoms or large particles for making plastics and detergents. This breakthrough could make chemical manufacturing cheaper and more sustainable.
Scientists in China have invented a revolutionary way to recycle lithium batteries that solves three environmental problems at once. The breakthrough recovers 95% of lithium, captures carbon dioxide, and transforms leftover metals into clean energy catalysts.
Scientists in South Korea just made hydrogen energy far cheaper by reshaping catalysts from granules into sheets thinner than a human hair. The breakthrough slashes precious metal use by up to 65% while boosting performance.
