  2. ENEOS Develops High-Performance Ligand For Nickel-Catalyzed Coupling Reactions 7/29/2025

    ENEOS Corporation (hereinafter “ENEOS”) has developed “alkylphosphine with a triisobutylene (TIB) backbone (TIB phosphine ligand),” a high-performance ligand for nickel-catalyzed coupling reactions, in collaboration with Prof. Kouki Matsubara, Faculty of Science, Fukuoka University.

  3. New System Dramatically Speeds The Search For Polymer Materials 7/28/2025

    Scientists often seek new materials derived from polymers. Rather than starting a polymer search from scratch, they save time and money by blending existing polymers to achieve desired properties.

  4. A More Climate-Friendly Way To Produce Nitrogen Fertilizer 7/28/2025

    Humanity has an insatiable appetite for ammonia: this substance is used to make fertilizer, which in turn is used in most modern agriculture. Until now, the Haber-Bosch process has been the method of choice for extracting nitrogen from the seemingly inexhaustible atmosphere and binding it in the form of ammonia

  5. Catalyst Cuts Energy Use In CO₂-To-Ethylene Conversion 7/28/2025

    A new method to convert carbon dioxide (CO₂) into ethylene using significantly less energy than existing approaches could help cut emissions from one of the world’s most carbon-intensive manufacturing processes.

  6. Researchers Uncover Role Of A-Site Cation Ordering In Perovskite Anodes For High-Temperature Oxygen Evolution 7/28/2025

    Solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs) are a leading technology for carbon dioxide reduction and energy conversion, offering high current densities, excellent Faradaic efficiency, and low overpotentials. Perovskite oxides are commonly used as SOEC anodes, yet the impact of A-site cation ordering on their oxygen evolution reaction (OER) kinetics remains unexplored.

  7. Envision Energy Powers The World's First Green Marine Ammonia Bunkering, Pioneering Net Zero Shipping Fuel 7/25/2025

    Envision Energy, a global leader in green technology, is proud to announce that green ammonia fuel produced from its world's largest green hydrogen and ammonia plant in Chifeng has successfully powered the world's first green marine ammonia bunkering operation.

  8. KATZEN Selected To Lead Design And Technology For Be8's Wheat-To-Ethanol Plant In Brazil 7/24/2025

    KATZEN International, Inc., a U.S. pioneer in bioethanol technology and engineering, announced today its selection by Be8 S.A. to supply process technology and design for the second phase of Be8’s flagship wheat-based ethanol facility in Passo Fundo, Rio Grande do Sul. Scheduled for launch in late 2026, the plant will integrate the production of high-value wheat gluten, as well as ethanol and DDGs (Distiller's Dried Grains with Solubles).

  9. New Method For The Chemical Production Of Circular mRNA 7/24/2025

    A research team led by Prof. Jacek Jemielity and Prof. Joanna Kowalska from the University of Warsaw has developed an innovative chemical method for producing circular mRNA molecules.

  10. Green Ammonia Revolution: New Electrolyte Strategy Boosts Sustainable Fertilizer Production 7/24/2025

    A joint international research team has, for the first time, unveiled the crucial link between the structure of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) and the efficiency of lithium-mediated nitrogen reduction to ammonia, a promising eco-friendly approach to fertilizer production.
