The Chemistry of Noble Metals and their Compounds Award encompassed research relating to noble metals and their compounds, including advances in electroplating and refining technology. This award was ...

Noble metals such as platinum can make useful catalysts to accelerate chemical reactions, particularly hydrogenation (adding hydrogen atoms to a molecule). A research team led by Professor Bruce ...

Atoms of non-noble metals migrate out and form so-called "SAC-like structures" (single atom catalyst-like). These catalysts mediate two important reactions, namely the oxygen evolution and ...

The hot metal wires will burn away if any oxygen from the air is present in the lamp. Argon, krypton and xenon are very unreactive. They replace the air inside the lamp, preventing the metal wire ...

Fears that Trump could impose a blanket tax on all imports from Europe, including gold, has prompted a massive influx of the ...
