Traditional chemistry textbooks present a tidy picture: Atoms in molecules occupy fixed positions, connected by rigid rods. A ...

Alzheimer's is a slow-moving neurodegenerative disease. Decades can pass before clinical symptoms appear, and even when they do it's challenging to identify the disease in patients with mild cognitive ...

Researchers develop a new method for the sustainable use of carbon dioxide. New synthetic metabolic pathways for fixation of carbon dioxide could not only help to reduce the carbon dioxide content of ...

For a carbon-neutral bioeconomy, processes are needed that can efficiently capture CO 2 and convert it into valuable products. Formic acid, or more specifically its salt, formate, is considered a ...

This release is available in German. One of the central challenges of our time is the supply of enough environmentally friendly and resource-efficient energy to our society. In this context, hydrogen ...

FRANKFURT. Among the many trillions of microorganisms in the human gut is Blautia luti. Like many gut bacteria, it metabolizes indigestible dietary components, such as fiber in the form of ...

Formic acid dimers represent a paradigmatic model for studying the intricacies of hydrogen bond dynamics. When two formic acid molecules associate through dual hydrogen bonds, they form a stable, ...

Photoreduction of CO2 into transportable fuel like formic acid (HCOOH) is a great way of dealing with CO2's rising levels in the atmosphere. To aid in this mission, a research team chose an easily ...
