C16 n-alkanes was investigated over microsphere catalysts with varying surface acidity and ZSM-5 as the active components.

Alkynes have many uses in industry. Until now, it was assumed that gold- or platinum-based catalysts were absolutely necessary for certain chemical reactions with alkynes. Chemists have now succeeded ...

In 2025, scientists reported the discovery of long-chain organic molecules called alkanes in the ancient mudstones of Mars. Now, in a new study, a team led by Alexander Pavlov of NASA's Goddard Space ...
