Researchers have successfully synthesized fumarate (fumaric acid), a raw material for unsaturated polyester resin, by combining carbon dioxide (CO2) with pyruvate (derived from biomass), using two ...
Chemists have developed a process that closely resembles photosynthesis and proved capable of synthesizing compounds found in the pain-killers ibuprofen and naproxen. Harnessing the power of the sun ...
In plants, natural photosynthesis binds carbon dioxide (CO 2­) to organic compounds, which can then be converted into glucose or starch. These useful molecules can be sequestered, storing the carbon ...
