Q&A: Photoproduction creates medicine from waste

The Kobe University start-up Photo-on-Demand Chemical Co. Ltd. demonstrated that it can produce methane from sewage to refine it into pharmaceutical raw materials and other useful chemicals. For this, Tsuda Akihiko, the CEO ...

Q&A: Harnessing CO₂ for consumer goods and industrial materials

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions are a major contributor to the climate crisis, and while the world works to reduce emissions, chemists and engineers are also working on how to capture and utilize the carbon dioxide already ...

Periodic cooking: Cracking the method for the 'perfect' boiled egg

A new method pioneered to optimally cook both the yolk and white (or albumen) of a boiled chicken egg has been published in Communications Engineering. The approach, which the authors call periodic cooking, yields an evenly-cooked ...
