Researchers at ETH have used nuclear magnetic resonance to find out what other atoms are bound to the platinum atoms in a single-atom catalyst and where they are spatially located.
The precise knowledge of the atomic environments can help produce single-atom catalysts that are more uniform, and thus more effective.
This also enables very efficient and resource-saving reaction accelerators for sustainable chemicals.
Scientists have studied a new target for antibiotics in the greatest detail yet – in the fight against antibiotic resistance.
Saline–alkali stress disrupts the delicate chemistry of rose petals, reshaping both their color and aroma profiles.
