Scientists are exploring many ways to use light rather than heat to drive chemical reactions more efficiently, which could significantly reduce waste, energy consumption, and reliance on nonrenewable ...

"Even though the molecule is absorbing the light and it's getting the energy, it doesn't always do the thing that you want it to do, which is to rip itself in half and catalyze some photochemical ...

Divalent samarium compounds are important reagents for reductive transformations in organic chemistry. However, currently, a high amount of this reagent is required in most reactions, and it also ...

Chemists use gold nanorods to transfer light energy to molecules without contact, enabling efficient, low-waste, light-driven reactions. (Nanowerk News) Scientists are exploring many ways to use light ...

The new visible-light antenna developed in the study can significantly reduce the amount of Sm required in reactions, paving the way for efficient and sustainable synthesis of pharmaceuticals and ...
