A carefully engineered gold catalyst has just pushed green chemistry into new territory, setting a performance benchmark that had resisted improvement for a decade. By pairing tiny deposits of gold ...

Scientists at SLAC accidentally created solid binary gold hydride while studying diamond formation under extreme conditions, revealing exotic chemistry, planetary insights, and a new way to study ...

Gold standard science (GSS). It's a simple idea: Conduct the best, unbiased scientific research possible. However, as with many simple ideas, GSS has been co-opted by MAHA as yet another tool to ...

I read with considerable interest the editorial “ ‘No Excuses’ for the Future of Green Chemistry” (C&EN, June 2/9, 2025, page 2) and the first installment of the new column on green chemistry, “The ...

Trace chloride alters gold surface chemistry by forming a short-lived covalent layer of chloride ions on gold atoms. (Nanowerk News) Cambridge researchers have uncovered a hidden layer of chemistry on ...

Politics and science have combined to wipe $225 an ounce off the price of gold in three weeks with worse to come if peace takes hold in war zones and if an experiment in man-made gold moves out of its ...
