Sustainable Catalysts: Crystal Phase-controlled Cobalt Nanoparticles for Hydrogenation Researchers develop an energy efficient, reusable, and versatile catalytic system using abundant cobalt

Controlling the crystal phase of cobalt nanoparticles leads to exceptional catalytic performance in hydrogenation processes, report scientists from Tokyo Tech. Produced via an innovative hydrosilane-assisted synthesis method, these phase-controlled reusable nanoparticles enable the selective hydrogenation of various compounds under mild conditions without the use of harmful gases like ammonia. These efforts could lead to more sustainable and efficient catalytic processes across many industrial fields. Читать дальше...

Supreme Court Reform: Why Not Go All the Way?

In a July 29 Washington Post op-ed,  president Joe Biden lays out a three-part proposal for reforming the Supreme Court.  With Biden in full-blown “lame duck” status  (he’s no longer seeking re-election), it’s better read as a “think piece” than as a real policy proposal with any chance of adoption.
