Vela and team published in American Chemical Society’s Catalysis
Abstract Motivated by increased awareness about nitrate contamination of surface waters and its deleterious effects in human and animal health, we sought an alternative, non-noble metal catalyst for the chemical degradation of nitrate. First-row transition metal phosphides recently emerged as excellent alternatives for hydrogen evolution and hydrotreating reactions. We demonstrate that a key member of … Continue reading Vela and team published in American Chemical Society’s Catalysis

Lee and collaborators published in Analytical Chemistry
Police have long relied on the unique whorls, loops or arches encoded in fingerprints to identify suspects. However, they have no way to tell how long ago those prints were left behind — information that could be crucial to a case. A preliminary new study in ACS’ Analytical Chemistry suggests that could change. Researchers report … Continue reading Lee and collaborators published in Analytical Chemistry
