A new method uses gold nanoparticles to convert hydrogen sulfide into high-demand hydrogen gas and sulfur in a single step.

A new plastic-like material can go from being soft and stretchy to hard and rigid with just a catalyst and some light.

Dave MacMillon and Ben List both developed simple catalysts that make precise chemical reactions much faster and more efficient.

The discovery has boosted the pharmaceutical industry and made research greener and cheaper.

A new catalyst turns carbon dioxide into useful fuels and chemicals really efficiently . It could pave way for large-scale CO2 recycling, researchers say.

Adding a graphene "wrap" to an exisitng "trap and zap" strategy does a better job and destroying antibiotic-resistant bacteria in wastewater treatment.

If ships could create their own fuel from seawater, they could remain in continuous operation. Researchers say a catalyst could make it a reality.

Forever chemicals may have met their match in a new, surprising catalyst. "This wasn't supposed to work, and it did."

A lab-based "intelligent microsystem" employs machine learning for modeling chemical reactions, researchers report.

A new method could tackle the antibiotic-resistant genes of superbug bacteria with a "trap and zap" method. It could keep resistance from spreading.
