The selective reduction of arenes is important in organic synthesis and also valorization of biomass. Here, the authors report the use of ruthenium-based nanoparticles, which display high activity in arene reduction and preferentially hydrogenate ...

A search for inverse magnetic catalysis in thermal quark-meson models [PDF]
We explore the parameter space of the two-flavor thermal quark-meson model and its Polyakov loop-extended version under the influence of a constant external magnetic field $B$.

Effective reduction of N2O emission via combined plasma catalysis
N2O is a potent greenhouse gas that also causes devastating effects on the ozone layer. In this study, N2O decomposition is evaluated via thermal catalysis, plasma-alone and plasma catalysis, respectively. In thermal catalysis, N2O decomposition achieved

Carbon Monoxide Adsorption and Carbon Monoxide Oxidation Studies on Thiolate Supported Gold Nanoclusters Dispensed on Metallic Oxides [PDF]
Thiolate-protected gold nanoclusters represent atomically well-defined active centers for catalysis with resolved crystal structures, enabling the creation of a homogeneous and defined surface. The correlation of characterization via FT-IR spectroscopy with kinetics studies gives insight into the gold clusters activity and tests their utilization to ...

Geometrically induced magnetic catalysis and critical dimensions
We discuss the combined effect of magnetic fields and geometry in interacting fermionic systems. At leading order in the heat-kernel expansion, the infrared singularity (that in flat space leads to the magnetic catalysis) is regulated by the chiral gap ...

Incorporating dual fluorescence and phosphorescence into a single matrix is attractive for oxygen sensing, but material design is challenging. Here the authors achieve dual fluorescence-phosphorescence from a single linker chromophore in a silver ...

Thermodynamics of PNJL at zero temperature in a strong magnetic field [PDF]
In this paper, the deconfinement and chiral restoration transitions in strong magnetic field is realized at zero temperature in the Polyakov Nambu$-$Jona-Lasinio model. We provide the thermodynamic treatment to mimic the deconfinement phase transition at zero temperature together with the entangled scalar and vector interactions coupled with the ...

Holographic Monopole Catalysis of Baryon Decay
We study how monopole catalysis of baryon decay is realized in holographic QCD. Physics of monopole catalysis becomes much simpler in holographic description as it occurs due to the violation of the Bianchi identity for the 5D gauge symmetry when ...

How flexibility can enhance catalysis [PDF]
Conformational changes are observed in many enzymes, but their role in catalysis is highly controversial. Here we present a theoretical model that illustrates how rigid catalysts can be fundamentally limited and how a conformational change induced by substrate binding can overcome this limitation, ultimately enabling barrier-free catalysis.

Predicting template-based catalysis rates in a simple catalytic reaction model [PDF]
We show that in a particular model of catalytic reaction systems, known as the binary polymer model, there is a mathematical invariance between two versions of the model: (1) random catalysis and (2) template-based catalysis. In particular, we derive an analytical calculation that allows us to accurately predict the (observed) required level of ...
