Selenium is an essential trace element across all kingdoms of life. Princeton scientists discover the first pathway for selenium insertion into natural products. Princeton University…
Chemists discover a mechanism for peptide-forming reactions to occur in water, which leads to proteins and so to life on Earth. It could also lead…
The conversion occurred at room temperature and pressure, which could allow methane, a potent greenhouse gas, to be utilized to make fuel. The new method converts methane…
The Dancing Horse sculpture featured a decorative tassel on its forehead, prompting the Cincinnati Art Museum to undertake a scientific investigation that found it was…
It has become increasingly difficult to treat infections as the bacteria that cause them are becoming resistant to antibiotics. The drug candidate, called fabimycin, was…

“Surprisingly, no dye shop makes pigment specific for tattoo ink.” Tattoos are a true art form, featuring everything from life-like faces to elaborate nature scenes.…
Plastic waste may one day be upcycled to useful commodity chemicals instead of ending up in the environment. Credit: Image by Cortland Johnson | Pacific…
The strong chemical bonds in biomass, or plant matter, can be broken by electricity and water thanks to the researchers’ newly developed chemical method. These…
Bicyclic Carbon Fixation—NREL scientists have designed a pathway for speeding up CO2 fermentation in some species of bacteria. The resulting molecule—acetyl-CoA, with its two unique…
This huge development, in the opinion of the researchers, will eventually help to fully realize the enormous potential of hydrogen fuel cells. The commercialization of…
A new hydrogen fuel cell is not only the world’s most durable[1] to date, but is also more cost-effective, paving the way for a wider…
“We think the kind of reactions we’ve described are probably what could have happened on early Earth,” says Ramanarayanan Krishnamurthy. The reaction generates the building…
