MADISON, Wis. — A multi-institutional team has resolved a long-unanswered question about how two of the world's most common substances interact. In a paper published recently in the journal Nature ...

UPTON, NY— Researchers at Binghamton University led research partnering with the Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN)—a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility at ...

In this reaction, carbon is oxidised because it gains oxygen. At the same time, copper oxide is reduced because oxygen is removed from it.

Chemical Reactions: A chemical reaction is a process where the substances 8unbdergo a change in their chemical composition. The substances that enter the reaction are called reactants that are then ...

Researchers to get a better look at how peroxides on the surface of copper oxide promote the oxidation of hydrogen but inhibit the oxidation of carbon monoxide, allowing them to steer oxidation ...

These reactions play a huge role in the catalysis-driven creation of common chemical platforms such as methanol, which is produced on the order of 10 million tons per year as raw material for ...
