The chemical mechanism, discovered by scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and UC Berkeley, could also broaden our understanding of basic chemical reaction processes involving common helpers, called catalysts, like copper and gold.

A single random neutron was enough to start the chain reaction process once the physicists assembled CP - 1. (scientificamerican.com)
«Also, the new mechanism may shed light on broader problems» in chemistry, he said, by providing a deeper understanding fundamental reaction processes for gold and other catalysts. (sciencedaily.com)
