You wouldn’t guess that New Haven and Columbia—two college towns more than a thousand miles apart—are part of the same green energy story. In labs at Yale ...

The road to a more sustainable planet may be partially paved with manganese. According to a new study by researchers at Yale ...

This study presents a highly efficient approach to solar hydrogen production by pairing water electrolysis with the selective oxidation of biomass-derived glucose. Central to this advance is a ...

As a proof of concept, the engineers then used the same system to convert acetyl-CoA into malate, a commercially valuable chemical used in foods.

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 ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed an innovative electrochemical cell that efficiently converts captured carbon dioxide (CO2) into formate, a green fuel. This new system, ...

The origin of the elusive preference of copper chalcogenides for selectively converting carbon dioxide (CO 2) into formate has long puzzled researchers. Researchers at National Taiwan University have ...

Researchers at the University of Warwick report that when the sodium formate is used in combination with a metal-based cancer treatment it can greatly increase its ability to shut down cancer cells.

Methyl formate, a clear, volatile liquid, is the simplest carboxylate ester. It can be made in the lab by the acid-catalyzed esterification of formic acid and methanol. Industrially, it is produced by ...

Ethyl formate is a simple aliphatic ester that is full of benefits and concerns. It’s a clear, slightly oily liquid with a pleasant, rumlike odor and the flavor of raspberries. The ester occurs in ...
