Naphthalene is a white, volatile, solid polycyclic hydrocarbon with a powerful smell of mothball, and its chemical formula is C10H8. It is detectable at concentrations…

Alcohol dehydrogenases (ADH) are a group of dehydrogenase enzymes that occur in many species and promote the interconversion of alcohols and aldehydes or ketones to…

Heterogeneous catalysis is a type of catalysis where the catalyst occupies a different phase from the mixture of reactions. Phase distinguishes between not only components…

Homogeneous catalysts allow greater interaction with the mixture of reactions than heterogeneous catalysts do. Homogeneous catalysis in chemistry is the catalysis by a soluble catalyst…

Both CDs and DVDs are great for file storage. Both CDs and DVDs have pits or dark spots on the medium encoding the data. Generally…

Acetaldehyde (CH3CHO), also known as ‘ethanal’, is a widespread, naturally occurring, colorless and flammable liquid with a suffocating smell. It is sometimes abbreviated by chemists…

Nanoparticles are of great interest to the scientific community due to their ability to control both quantum and classical coupling interactions. Iron-platinum nanoparticles (FePt NPs)…

Iron fertilization is an innovative method that aims to sequesters carbon (remove it from the carbon cycle for a period of time) by creating large…

A carbon sink is a natural or artificial reservoir that absorbs and stores the atmosphere’s carbon with physical and biological mechanisms. It is natural or…

Nanoscale iron particles are sub-micrometer particles of iron metal. They are highly reactive because of their large surface area. In the presence of oxygen and…

Iron (Fe) is a chemical element, the metal of Group 8 (VIIIb) of the periodic table, the most-used, and cheapest metal. It is a chemical…

Ferritic nitrocarburizing (FNC) is a thermochemical surface hardening process that involves diffusion of both nitrogen and carbon into the part. It is a range of…
