A team of researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, working with a colleague from the State University of New Jersey, has developed a gel-based code-hiding system that uses combinations of water ...

Trans-fatty acids (TFA) are a major cause of cardiovascular diseases. These harmful fats can accumulate along artery walls, restricting blood flow and increasing the risk of heart attacks. According ...

A rhodium-zeolite catalyst stabilized as Rh3+ achieves a record linear-to-branched aldehyde ratio of 817 in hydroformylation, ...

Nitroaromatics are well-known energetic materials. Their importance has led to extensive studies of their decomposition mechanisms, in particular for nitrobenzene, a prototype molecule of this sort.

National University of Singapore scientists have demonstrated a strain-induced structural rearrangement of one-dimensional (1D) metal-organic molecular chains for potential use in fabricating ...

An international research team has succeeded in controlling the chirality of individual molecules through structural isomerization. The team also succeeded in synthesizing highly reactive diradicals ...

Reversible photochromism — based on a simple isomerization reaction — is heavily hindered when photochromic dyes are enclosed in polymer matrices. Tethering the dye to a flexible low-melting-point ...

Researchers have used excited-state electron transfer events to 'pump' olefin molecules up and then have them fall back down through a series of favorable steps to ultimately transform into a less ...

Chinese researchers have developed a recyclable ruthenium-nickel bimetallic catalyst on ordered mesoporous silica that ...

Network control theory can describe the photochemical isomerization of glucose to allose. This transformation, in which the hydroxy group on a single carbon flips from one stereochemical configuration ...

The introduction of reformulated gasoline with mandated limits on benzene content has caused many refiners to take steps to reduce the benzene in their gasoline products. The major source of benzene ...

HOUSTON, Aug. 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- KBR (NYSE: KBR) announced today that it has acquired isomerization technologies from RRT Global that will enable KBR to offer expanded octane and clean fuel ...
