Stable perovskite catalyst achieves selective oxidation of light alkanes
Light alkanes are relatively simple molecules made entirely of carbon and hydrogen, arranged in linear or branching structures. Their oxidized counterparts, which include alcohols, epoxides, ketones, and aldehydes, are ubiquitous in the chemical indu.....»»
Study provides experimental evidence of high harmonic generation producing quantum light
High harmonic generation (HHG) is a highly non-linear phenomenon where a system (for example, an atom) absorbs many photons of a laser and emits photons of much higher energy, whose frequency is a harmonic (that is, a multiple) of the incoming laser'.....»»
