Cadmium is a contaminant element whose presence in the environment has increased in recent years and which can accumulate in the human body. A study in which a UAB researcher participated has developed a new device which not only detects cadmium in water but also...

Researchers at the UAB's Department of Chemistry have developed a ruthenium catalyst supported in silica gel which is recyclable in alkene metathesis reactions. The immobilization of the catalyst allows its easy recycling and, thus, to save money, because catalysts are expensive and, although they are not...
Nanoscience and nanotechnology are areas of research that are currently in expansion and development. Metallic nanoparticles have arosen a great interest in the last decade because of its properties and the advantages in the field...
UAB researchers have developed a new chiral organocatalitic and recyclable material that promotes aldol reactions, in which two carbonyl compounds produce a new molecule, without the use of metallic complexes. The immobilization of the...
