For the first time, researchers have discovered exactly how a reactive copper-nitrene catalyst works, a finding that could revolutionize how chemical industries produce everything from pharmaceuticals ...

Metals react differently. Some are very reactive and others are unreactive. Observations of reactions can be used to put metals into an order of reactivity. For example, copper is unreactive so it can ...

The copper-catalyzed addition of azides and alkynes to form triazoles has been hailed as the crème de la crème of click chemistry—a way to assemble molecules via rapid, irreversible reactions. It is ...

Researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have developed a new copper-based artificial photosynthesis device with remarkable stability and longevity as it converts sunlight and carbon ...
