Artificial Photosynthesis versus Greenhouse Gas
Professor Geoffrey Ozin discusses what he believes may be the largest challenge of the century—the development of an artificial photosynthetic machine.
Plastic from the Wood: Environmentally Friendly Packaging
University of Florida researchers report PAHBs derived from lignin, a by-product of the paper pulping and cellulosic bio-ethanol industries
What can Nanochemistry do for Chemical and Biological Sensing?
So what is next for nanochemical and biochemical sensor research? Shouldn’t we be trying to find the next glass pH electrode, rather than trying to squeeze that extra fraction of a percent out of our tried and tested materials?
Powering the Planet with Energy Nanomaterials?
