Many modern industrial processes depend on complex chemistry. Take fertilizer production, for example: to make it, companies ...

Heterogeneous catalysis is a type of catalysis in which the catalyst occupies a different phase from the reactants and products. This may refer to the physical phase — solid, liquid or gas ...

The study, "Atomic-resolution imaging as a mechanistic tool for studying single-site heterogeneous catalysis," is published in the journal Chem. "By visualizing this process and following the reaction ...

A team of scientists has directly observed catalysis in-action at the atomic level. In mesmerizing new videos, single atoms move and shake during a chemical reaction that removes hydrogen atoms from ...
