The reduction of nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas, is a critical reaction in both environmental chemistry and the biological nitrogen cycle. Central to this process is nitrous oxide reductase ...

Scientists have discovered a way to control chemical reactions by carefully arranging copper atoms on a carbon-based material. With just tiny changes at the atomic scale, the same material can be ...

Engineers have designed and synthesized a groundbreaking new material -- a copper-free superconducting oxide -- capable of superconducting at approximately 40 Kelvin, or about minus 233 degrees ...

Seoul National University College of Engineering announced that a joint research team has become the first in the world to elucidate the reconstruction mechanism of copper alloy catalysts during ...

Copper-oxide (CuO2) superconductors, such as Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+ (Bi2212), have unusually high critical temperatures. Optical reflectivity measurements of Bi2212 have shown that it exhibits strong optical ...
