Researchers have used excited-state electron transfer events to 'pump' olefin molecules up and then have them fall back down through a series of favorable steps to ultimately transform into a less ...

Chemists have long sought methods to convert more stable internal olefins into less stable terminal olefins. Isomerization reactions that proceed against a thermodynamic bias, as this one would, are ...

Blacksburg, Va., Aug. 23, 2004 -- An enzyme called Pin1, a gatekeeper of cell division, is present at high levels in a wide variety of cancer cells. Virginia Tech researchers who are designing small ...

In a paper recently published in the journal ACS Applied Energy Materials, researchers presented a solar energy-driven sustainable technique for olefin semi-hydrogenation and hydrogenation of alkynes.
