3D printing allows blind scientists to visualize data using touch
3D-printed lithophanes are helping to democratize science by making data more shareable between sighted and blind scientists.
Photosynthesis of green methanol from methane
Getting around the high C-H bond dissociation energy in methane has been a challenge to making methanol from natural gas — until now.
How do we take the methane out of natural gas?
An MOF filters methane, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide from natural gas with record-breaking selectivity under practical conditions.
Unique insights afforded to us by computational chemistry
Though experimentation is still king in most chemists’ minds, computational chemistry has the potential to transform the field.
Moon soil catalyzes reactions needed to sustain a lunar settlement
Using solar energy, water, and lunar soil, scientists were able to carry out reactions needed to sustain human life on the Moon.
Decarbonizing the chemical industry with sustainable photons
Decarbonizing the chemical industry is possible, provided decreases in the cost of solar energy and increases in LED efficiency continue.
Optimizing a century-old chemical process
A new chemical looping approach helps optimize the Ostwald reaction, making the production of nitric acid a little “greener”.
