Catalysts are indispensable for the large-scale production of many chemicals, as they accelerate chemical reactions. Some of them contain metal atoms such as iron as key building blocks. The electrons ...

The stability of the iron atom's nucleus has made it one of the most abundant heavy elements in the universe. When excited, ...

A biodegradable implant powered by a new single-atom iron electrode delivered acupuncture-style pain relief in mice, then dissolved harmlessly in the body.

Researchers have developed a molecular system for controlled release of iron. They integrated ferrocene, a molecular sandwich that encloses an iron atom, with a carbon 'nanohoop'. As a result, the ...

This image shows (a) the Nature magazine cover; (b) the single atom X-ray mechanism; (c) a supramolecular ring with one iron atom; (d) X-ray spectra of one iron atom; (e) a terbium dimer complex; (f) ...

Professor Dallas Trinkle and colleagues have provided the first quantitative explanation for how magnetic fields slow carbon atom movement through iron, a phenomenon first observed in the 1970s but ...

Chiral nanomaterials have great potential for enhancing clinical therapeutic efficacy, attributed to the distinctive chiral selectivity in biosystems. Herein, we designed chiral iron single-atom ...

Monash University researchers have developed a cobalt-iron catalyst that significantly improves the performance and enhances the lifespan of zinc-air batteries, achieving remarkable stability over ...

Researchers from the Universities of Amsterdam and Zurich have collaborated to create a novel molecular system that enables the controlled release of iron. This breakthrough was achieved by combining ...

Researchers integrated ferrocene (Fe-containing molecular sandwich) with carbon nanohoops to create a system releasing Fe2+ ions when activated by green light. (Nanowerk News) In an international ...
