Quantum chemical simulations reveal an unprecedented relationship between the mechanism of carbon nanotube growth and hydrocarbon combustion processes. Results of these simulations illustrate the ...

Researchers have discovered a new method by which a catalyst can be used to selectively burn one molecule in a mixture of hydrocarbons -- compounds made of hydrogen and carbon atoms. For the first ...

For the first time, researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have discovered a method to selectively burn a single molecule within a mixture of hydrocarbons—compounds composed of ...
