Under formaldehyde-acetic acid condensationreaction conditions, the V4+ phase (VO)2P2O7 remains stable, while V5⁺ phases transform due to lattice oxygen loss. They ultimately form a reduced V4⁺ phase ...

Important everyday products—from plastics to detergents—are made through chemical reactions that mostly use precious metals such as platinum as catalysts. Scientists have been searching for more ...

A new study reveals that highly disordered indium oxide superconductors undergo a first-order quantum phase transition — a sudden shift from a superconducting to an insulating state. This finding is ...

Platinum has long powered hydrogenation reactions across the chemical industry. But its cost and limited supply have pushed ...

A computational method for finding transition states in chemical reactions, greatly reducing computational costs with high reliability, has been devised. Compared to the most widely used existing ...

Researchers in the Department of Theoretical Physics at Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai, have discovered that instead of manipulating every component or modifying interactions in ...

The global energy crisis and environmental concerns are driving the development of clean and efficient energy conversion technologies. Electrocatalytic water splitting has emerged as a promising ...
