This paper caught my eye, but it’s in one of those categories that tends to do so. There are a number of things about chemical reactions that most of us chemists tend to sort of slide past, but which are (in theory) subject to manipulation, and this sort of thing could turn out to be very useful.
ORIGINAL PAPER
Accelerated Reactions in an Electric Field
WHAT WE KNOW
Electric fields and electric field gradients are one of those, and over the years there have been several attempts to address that idea. It isn’t easy. In theory you can certainly alter the electron distributions of your reactants in such a field, and for well-chosen reaction types that could make a huge different.

Review the primary source, validate the main result, and establish whether any listed-company transmission is direct.
EVIDENCE
What the evidence supports so far

Classification pending.
What remains unverified
The full methodology, effect size, and limitations still require analyst review.
Company impact remains unverified until a direct economic transmission is established.
