Various chemical reactions occur one after another in cells, and life is maintained as each step of the reaction is regulated without error. Recently, a Korean research team has developed a dual-catalyst system that can precisely control catalytic reactions much as cells can.

Various chemical reactions occur one after another in cells, and life is maintained as each step of the reaction is regulated without error. Recently, a Korean research team has developed a dual-catalyst system that can precisely control catalytic reactions much as cells can.
A POSTECH research team led by professor In Su Lee, research assistant professors Amit Kumar and Nitee Kumari, and master’s student Jongwon Lim (Department of Chemistry) developed a nanoreactor that combines magnetic materials and metal catalysts.
A nanoreactor combining two or more catalysts causes a continuous catalytic reaction to help synthesize precise chemicals.
