For centuries, the best chemists in the world struggled every day to create the molecules that your own cells manufacture every second. Then they discovered how one group of atoms let them make stuff ...

High-pressure phase transitions in transition metals represent a vibrant and evolving area of research that probes the interplay between electronic structure, lattice dynamics and mechanical ...

The transition to a low carbon economy is well underway, but significant action is still required to meet aggressive policy goals and consumer demand. We are likely in the early stages of this ...

The energy transition continues to drive demand for specific metals upwards, increasing their market size two-fold in the last five years. With demand set to double by 2030 compared to 2021 levels, ...

Aluminium redox catalysis and reactive aluminium clusters showcase main-group element's transition-metal-like reactivity ...

Two-dimensional (2D) materials, in general, allow the realization of unique quantum phenomena unattainable in the common three-dimensional (3D) world. A prime example is graphene. Transition metal ...

Rice University researchers have developed a two-step recycling method that pairs microwave-induced plasma with citric acid ...

Transition metals have many applications in engineering, electrochemistry and catalysis. To understand their properties, the interplay between atomic localization and delocalization of the outer ...

Prospective validation from a retrospective trial that validated an AI/ML-derived whole-genome biomarker as the most accurate and precise predictor of survival and response to treatment in ...

Platinum works beautifully. It speeds up chemical reactions, holds up under punishment, and sits reliably at the center of industrial processes worth billions of dollars annually.
