Traditionally, chemical reactions have been described as one-line "equations" in which substrates, say A and B, convert purposefully but rigidly into a desired product, say C. Naturally, it has been ...

Arroyo, now a postdoctoral researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and his colleagues created itty-bitty lab ...

Humans have been making metal alloys for thousands of years, and most of us can conjure a rough mental image of the ...

Most earthquake energy turns into heat rather than ground shaking, sometimes hot enough to melt rock in microseconds. MIT’s ...

Reactions that sever typically unreactive carbon-hydrogen bonds, known as C–H activations, are a well-studied staple of organic chemistry. So it’s a well-known fact that palladium-based catalysts tend ...
