In an initiative that could lead to carbon-free space launches, scientists at the University of California, Riverside, are experimenting with ammonia borane (NH₃BH₃) as a substitute to conventional ...

Homogeneous catalytic processes that necessitate a bond-activation step typically require catalysts based on transition metals to achieve turnover. Accordingly, many catalysts from metals across the ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue University researchers have developed a way to produce amine-boranes that promises to be safer and cheaper, and could lead to new uses in medicine, energy storage, rocket ...

Borane–tetrahydrofuran (BH 3 –THF) is a charge-transfer complex that is a useful surrogate for diborane 1 in organic synthesis. It can be used to reduce carboxylic acids to alcohols or nitriles to ...

In my case, I happened to be in the right place at the right time, and along with my colleagues, I worked to create the fledgling field of modern boron chemistry. As a result, I managed to make a ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — When SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule splashed down off the Florida coast in August following its first crewed mission, the two astronauts inside could not exit the capsule ...
