A student has developed a novel brine desalination method capable of converting over 90 percent of salt water into fresh water, offering a sustainable solution for water scarcity. Tayia Oddonetto, an ...

Tayia Oddonetto was an undergraduate student when her professor inspired her to solve water scarcity. "During class, the professor said that if someone discovered how to turn brine, water with a high ...

The reactivity of inert hydrocarbons can be transformed by a catalytic double act. With the ability to manipulate the lengths of the resulting carbon chains, this development opens up fresh vistas. In ...

Alkyne metathesis catalysis is a transformative chemical process that enables the redistribution of carbon–carbon triple bonds through the cleavage and reformation of alkyne linkages. This reaction ...
