Doctoral students have described a new selective biocatalyst in an interdisciplinary and inter-university collaboration. The biocatalyst can produce useful epoxides from harmful styrene, and do this so selectively that only ...
Oxygen evolution is considered one of the most energy-intensive steps in water electrolysis and is therefore a key factor for more efficient green hydrogen production. Modeling of the reaction mechanisms has so far been based ...
Researchers from the Innovation Academy for Precision Measurement Science and Technology (APM) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have found that water can activate previously "NMR-invisible" aluminum in ultra-stable Y (USY) ...
Methane (CH4) pyrolysis, a reaction that produces hydrogen without emitting carbon dioxide, often utilizes molten media catalysts. A recent research paper published in the journal ACS Catalysis has explored how artificial ...
To make advances in using microbes to sustainably produce materials, it is necessary to find new molecular tools, or enzymes—but this is labor intensive. A Kobe University team has developed a technique that can classify ...
A pioneering research lab at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has achieved another milestone using light-driven enzymatic reactions to convert simple biological building blocks into valuable chemicals.
From cancer to infectious diseases to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, there is an undeniable need for new treatments and medications.
Colorado State University researchers have published a paper in Science that describes a new and more efficient light-based process for transforming fossil fuels into useful modern chemicals. In it, they report that their ...
A team of researchers, led by Professor Chae Un Kim from the Department of Physics at UNIST, has successfully tracked the catalytic pathway of carbonic anhydrase II (CAII), an enzyme that converts carbon dioxide (CO2) into ...
Thalidomide, a drug once used to alleviate morning sickness in pregnant women, exhibits distinct properties due to its optical isomers in the body: one isomer has a sedative effect, while the other causes severe side effects ...
