“UCLA organic chemists have made phosphine behave like precious metal catalysts”
In layman’s terms that means that they made a cheap phosphorus compound do the job of expensive metals, speeding chemical reactions without using rare, costly unobtanium.
Cool beans!
The achievement could be useful in the pharmaceutical industry and help bring down the price of some drugs.
And increase the profits for the pharmaceutical company for some other drugs! 😅
