(Nanowerk News) Light-driven chemical reactions so far were usually conducted with large amounts of solvents that are often toxic. By combining them with mechanical energy in ball mills, Professor ...

Highly reactive organometallic reagents, like organolithiums (molecules with a carbon–lithium bond) are essential reagents in ...

The quality of the graphene produced in the world today is rather poor and not optimally suited for most applications. This is possibly the main reason for the slow development of wider-scale ...

Graphene is a two-dimensional material composed of carbon atoms organized in a honeycomb pattern. Because of its extraordinary and unique features, it has piqued the curiosity of experts from all ...

For industrial-scale applications, a delicate balance must exist between graphene quality and production cost. As diverse applications demand varied graphene properties, customizing graphene films to ...

Scientists from Hokkaido University have developed a rapid, efficient protocol for cross-coupling reactions, vastly expanding the pool of chemicals that can be used for the synthesis of useful organic ...
