This star sculpted with copper wire glows red hot thanks to some catalytic chemistry. D. J. Hall, a PhD student at Drexel University, contributed this photo to Drexel’s series of photos exhibiting the ...

Copper-catalyzed cross-coupling encompasses a family of reactions that form carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bonds by joining two organic fragments under the action of copper catalysts. Traditional ...

A staple for summertime activities- fireworks! Where do they get their characteristic color from? I traveled down to the ...

Refining precious metals is not as simple as polishing rocks that have been dug out of the ground. Often, complex chemical processes are needed to process the materials properly or in high quantities, ...
