Cambridge scientists built a solar reactor that turns plastic waste into clean hydrogen using an unexpectedly simple process.

Taking inspiration from how nature --including lightning -- produces ammonia, a team has developed a reactor that produces the chemical commodity from nitrogen in the air and water, without any carbon ...

Explore two of ancient Egypt's most fascinating and debated mysteries. First, we investigate the controversial 'Chemical Reactor Theory,' which argues that Egyptian structures were advanced ...

An environmentally friendly technique turns wastewater into ammonia and harmless by-products using a multi-chambered chemical reactor. The sustainable alternative requires much less energy than the ...

A Cambridge University team made the device with simple materials using a paint sprayer—offering a possible dual fix for ...

Some industrial processes used to create useful chemicals require heat, but heating methods are often inefficient, partly because they heat a greater volume of space than they really need to.

Since the 1980s, researchers have sought to use laser light to control chemical reactions relevant to photochemistry, catalysis and light-responsive materials. But this technique, known as coherent ...
