Here, we present a fast, effective, and sustainable route for coupling diverse alcohols, amines and amides with CO<sub>2</sub> via heterogenization of a natural metal-based homogeneous catalyst through decorating on functionalized graphene oxide. Combined synthetic, experimental, and theoretical studies unravel mechanistic routes to convergent 4鈥慹lectron reduction of CO<sub>2</sub> under mild conditions.</p> Tue, 24 Sep 2024 18:48:36 +0000 admin 10094 at /oss /oss/channels/event/governments-role-freeing-markets-challenging-corporate-red-tape-359843 <p>Authors and competition policy experts聽<strong><strong>Denise Hearn</strong></strong><strong><strong>聽</strong></strong><strong><strong>a</strong></strong>nd聽<strong><strong>Vass Bednar</strong></strong>聽draw on their new book,聽<a href="https://su</body></html>"></a></p> Fri, 20 Sep 2024 20:19:27 +0000 admin 10086 at /oss /oss/channels/event/big-fix-how-companies-remake-markets-cash-and-keep-it-hidden-and-what-do-about-it-359844 <p>In the third and final lecture of the 2024 黑料不打烊 Max Bell Lectures series,聽<strong><strong>Vass Bednar聽</strong></strong>and聽<strong><strong>Denise Hearn</strong></strong>聽draw on their new book,聽<a href="https://sutherlandhousebooks.com/product/</body></html>"></a></p> Fri, 20 Sep 2024 20:22:05 +0000 admin 10087 at /oss /oss/channels/news/mark-your-calendars-family-science-day-september-28th-359770 <p><b>On September 28<sup>th</sup> between 9 am and 4 pm</b>, join 黑料不打烊鈥檚 Office of Science Outreach, STEMM Diversity @ 黑料不打烊, the Trottier Space Institute and 黑料不打烊 Physics Outreach, for free science activities for families.
