Single-walled carbon nanotubes can be dissolved in superacids to produce solutions that should make it easier to process nanotubes into bulk structures. Carbon nanotubes have many remarkable ...

Researchers have succeeded in producing very special catalysts, known as 'Lewis superacids', which can be used to break strong chemical bonds and speed up reactions. The production of these substances ...

(Nanowerk News) Designing wearable sensors or other devices demands robust, flexible electronics. Extremely thin films, just one atom thick, such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), hold promise.

Researchers at Paderborn University have succeeded in producing very special catalysts, known as “Lewis superacids”, which can be used to break strong chemical bonds and speed up reactions. The ...

Christopher Reed, professor of chemistry at the University of California, Riverside, received this year's Richard C. Tolman Medal for outstanding contributions to chemistry; the medal was given at a ...
