A team of Penn State researchers has found that a fundamental reaction in transition metal chemistry, called oxidative addition, can follow a different path to achieve the same ends.

Researchers at ETH Zürich have recently introduced a new approach to control chemical reactions between ions and molecules at low temperatures, employing microwaves (i.e., electromagnetic waves ...
