Most of the fundamental ideas of science are essentially simple, and may, as a rule, be expressed in a language comprehensible to everyone.
We believe jargon shouldn't stand in the way of discovery.
That's why we built the Jargon Translator, a Chrome extension that instantly transforms complex academic writing into clear, accessible language.

The heterogeneous catalytic hydrogenation of carbon dioxide represents a pivotal technological paradigm in the amelioration of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Through the implementation of transition metal catalysts exhibiting bifunctional characteristics, the thermodynamically unfavorable reduction of CO₂ can be rendered kinetically feasible under moderate reaction conditions.
Scientists can turn carbon dioxide (CO₂) into useful chemicals using special materials called catalysts. These catalysts help CO₂ react with hydrogen gas to create new compounds. This process could help reduce greenhouse gases in our atmosphere by recycling CO₂ instead of releasing it into the air.
