  1. New Technique For Synthesizing Branched Molecules Could Accelerate The Development Of Future Medicines 4/8/2026

    When chemists design drug candidates, shape matters enormously. Many active pharmaceutical ingredients contain branched carbon structures—points where the molecular chain forks in a specific direction—that are critical to whether a molecule will bind to its biological target and whether it will be safe.

  2. Molten Salt Chemistry Converts Consumer Polymer Into Fuel 4/8/2026

    Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory developed a method to convert a commonly discarded hydrocarbon polymer into gasoline- and diesel-like fuels.

  3. KAIST Develops Electrode Technology Achieving 86% Efficiency For Converting CO2 Into Plastic Precursors 4/7/2026

    In the process of converting carbon dioxide into useful chemicals such as ethylene—a key precursor for plastics—a major challenge has been the flooding of electrodes, where electrolyte penetrates the electrode structure and reduces performance.

  4. WPU Plans New Chemical Recycling Facility For End-Of-Life Plastics In Rotterdam 4/7/2026

    WPU, Vitol’s plastics recycling business, plans to build a new chemical recycling facility for end-of-life plastics at the Port of Rotterdam, alongside Vitol’s refinery, VPR.

  5. Precisely Designed Oxygen Carriers Enable Low-Temperature Methane Reforming 4/6/2026

    "Methane reforming" is a process that turns methane (CH4) into hydrogen - which can be utilized as an environmentally friendly source of energy.

  6. Researchers Turn Recovered Car Battery Acid And Plastic Waste Into Clean Hydrogen 4/6/2026

    Researchers have developed a solar-powered reactor to break down hard-to-recycle forms of plastic waste – such as drinks bottles, nylon textiles and polyurethane foams – using acid recovered from old car batteries, and converting it into clean hydrogen fuel and valuable industrial chemicals.
