By releasing electrons directly into solution, the technique could unlock reactions—and potentially useful new molecules—that were previously out of reach.","category":"Science","image":"https://www.sciencedaily.com/images/1920/chemistry-catalyst-reaction.webp","lang":"en","publishedAt":"2026-08-09T11:02:03+00:00","createdAt":"2026-08-11T11:59:03.55549+00:00"}}
