The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

In a feat that could be described as taking the bull by the horns, researchers have exploited a process that normally destroys supported metal catalysts to make stable ones consisting of isolated ...

The use of nanoparticles in a catalyst has the benefit of not only improving the catalytic process, but they also minimize risks to both the environment and human health. In particular, by helping ...

Nanoparticle catalysts obviously can’t talk but a new study suggests they’ve found a way to communicate with each other. By using a method that tracks single-molecule reactions on individual ...

Fukuoka, Japan—If you often find yourself off by one when counting your socks after doing the laundry, you might want to sit down for this. Scientists in Japan have now counted the number of extra—or ...

The interface between reducible oxide supports and metal catalyst nanoparticles is a key factor in their catalytic functionality. This interface has the potential to encourage specific nanoparticle ...
