A new class of ruthenium catalysts
04-12-2023…ists indicate that the mechanism of the catalysed reaction is complex, and catalysis itself is a multi-step process. Each chemical reaction requires a unique catalyst. In their research, scientists aim to obtain the most stable substance possible, capable of catalysing a chosen reaction for as long as possible. “The most important parameter characterizing a catalyst is the turnover number, which is the number of substrate molecules that are conv…

Tasmanian devil with unprecedented flares
20-11-2023…tronomers have speculated about what might drive such extreme explosions, which are far brighter than the violent ends massive stars typically experience, but fade in days instead of weeks. The research team believes the previously unknown flare activity, which was studied by 15 telescopes around the world, confirms the engine must be a stellar corpse: a black hole or neutron star. Tasmanian devil The unusual transient was discovered by Zwicky T…
