A palladium-coated membrane uses hydrogen to help break down PFAS “forever chemicals.” Credit: Graphic by Jason Drees They can turn up in a nonstick frying pan, a waterproof jacket, a takeout food wrapper, or the foam used to fight fires.
Scientists are exploring water management in an alternative proton exchange membrane type, called PFIA. The experiments have been conducted using the infrared facilities of BESSY II synchrotron to reveal how water is retained even at dry conditions in PFIA. The…
Researchers at Arizona State University have developed a new technique to destroy per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly known as “forever chemicals.” Forever chemicals are a family of synthetic substances that do not rot, rust, or break down in sunlight…
A strange molecule around a young star reveals a missing piece of interstellar chemistry. In a stellar nursery about 1,000 light-years from Earth, astronomers have found a form of alcohol in which all four hydrogen atoms have been replaced by heavier…
As my term as chair of the American Chemical Society Committee on Chemists with Disabilities (CWD) comes to an end this December, I find myself looking back on the past 3 years with a deep sense of gratitude. What a ride…
The production line for the drug trabectedin starts with the bacterial compound safracin B, which the enzyme SacC assembles within the bacteria. The enzyme carries out a remarkable, seven-step catalytic cascade, stitching together two new carbon-to-carbon bonds and producing a…

Three UC national laboratory scientists and two former postdoctoral fellows are among the nine recipients of the prestigious Ernest Orlando Lawrence Award for their exceptional contributions to research and development supporting the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) missions in science, energy,…
A new kinetic theory shows that protein denaturation, not lipid membrane breakdown, drives photosynthetic heat failure and caps plant heat tolerance near 60 degrees Celsius. Yet for more than a century, ecologists and plant physiologists have argued about what actually causes…
Multi-year JGI Director's Science programme pairs Bactobio's precision discovery engine with JGI genomics at scale, powering AI to discover entirely new classes of molecules Bactobio's platform goes beyond what genetic data can do alone, linking what microbes encode to what…
