A research team led by Associate Professor Boon Siang Yeo from the Department of Chemistry at National University of Singapore (NUS) has developed a new way to turn carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, ...
Linear, medium-chain (C8–C12) hydrocarbons are important components of fuels as well as commodity and specialty chemicals. As industrial microbes do not contain pathways to produce medium-chain ...
The carbon-hydrogen bond -- 2/3 of all bonds in hydrocarbons -- has defied chemists' attempts to open it up and add new chemical groups. A team has now cracked the strongest of C-H bonds, those on a ...
Scientists are using non-thermal plasma to produce fertiliser and long-chain hydrocarbons. Mason Wakley talks to the chemists ...
A computer modeling study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shows that at deep Earth pressures and temperatures, longer hydrocarbons may be formed from the ...
A research team at King's College London has isolated a new form of aluminum—a highly abundant metal, that could provide a ...
This module uses transportation fuels as the theme to connect the organic concepts of hydrocarbon structure, intramolecular forces and physical properties to green and sustainable chemistry. The ...
