The catalytic dehydration of sorbitol to isosorbide has emerged as a critical process in the transition towards sustainable chemical manufacturing. This reaction transforms sorbitol, a readily ...

The dehydration of alcohols is involved in many organic conversions but has to overcome high free-energy barriers in water. Here we demonstrate that hydronium ions confined in the nanopores of zeolite ...

Sheets of graphene oxide can undergo spontaneous crosslinking reactions, which essentially glue the sheets together, as a result of common drying procedures. The finding broadens scientists’ ...

Chemical reactions involve the interaction and transformation of molecules. The Maillard reaction is one example that occurs in baked goods, where sugars react with proteins to create new molecules ...
