Scientists succeed in using bacteria and discarded bread to replace fossil fuels in an innovative sustainable industrial ...

Scientists have found a way to use common bacteria as tiny, green chemical factories to replace a process that currently ...

The humble breadcrumb could hold the key to cutting out fossil fuels from one of the chemical industry's most widely used reactions, according to a new study. Scientists have found a one-pot microbial ...

Hydrogenation is a chemical reaction between molecular hydrogen and an element or compound, ordinarily in the presence of a catalyst. The reaction may be one in which hydrogen simply adds to a double ...

Bacteria munching on waste bread release hydrogen that could run chemical reactions, providing a carbon-negative way to ...

Most of us see a heel of dry, forgotten bread as a candidate for ...

Figure 1: Valorization of lignin-derived building blocks. Here, we describe the preparation, characterization and catalytic testing of novel ruthenium-based NP immobilized on a N-doped carbon support.

Chances are you’ll eat something hydrogenated today. What does that mean? We’ll give you a quick tour of what hydrogenation is, how it’s done, and why many people don’t like it. To hydrogenate ...

A catalyst that effectively converts amides to amines at low temperature under low hydrogen pressure has been demonstrated by a team of researchers. Amines are vital in nature; for example, amino ...

A new iron nanoparticle catalyst promises to drastically improve the efficiency of hydrogenation, a key chemical process used in a wide array of industrial applications. Cleaner, safer and cheaper ...
