Using a natural catalyst from bacteria for inspiration, researchers have now developed the fastest synthetic catalyst for hydrogen production — producing 45 million molecules per second.

Not exact matches

«If you put humans as the target, even though you are not going to make a human baby, it will be provocative, it will be misinterpreted, but people will engage,» says Andrew Hessel, a self - described futurist and biotechnology catalyst at Autodesk in San Francisco, California, a successful software company that specializes in 3D design programs for architecture and other fields that has been exploring synthetic biology applications in recent years.

«Most synthetic approaches for synthesizing and cross-linking polymeric gels and other materials use catalysts or conditions that can damage sensitive substances such as biologic drugs.

Australian scientists have paved the way for carbon neutral fuel with the development of a new efficient catalyst that converts carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air into synthetic natural gas in a «clean» process using solar energy.

The process allows small, synthetic molecules to exhibit the functional diversity of much larger enzymatic catalysts, and offers a promising new tool for synthesizing therapeutics based on natural products.

Working in his lab in UD's Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Rosenthal and doctoral student John DiMeglio have developed an inexpensive catalyst that uses the electricity generated from solar energy to convert carbon dioxide, a major greenhouse gas, into synthetic fuels for powering cars, homes and businesses.

Rosenthal says that if carbon dioxide emissions become taxed in the future due to continuing concerns about global warming, his solar - driven catalyst for making synthetic fuel will compete even better economically with fossil fuels.

The scientists took the well - characterized nickel - based catalyst for hydrogen production previously synthetized at PNNL and built a dozen different versions by adding either a single synthetic amino acid or a dipeptide, consisting of two molecules.

Working in the Center for Molecular Electrocatalysis, a DOE Energy Frontier Research Center back in 2011, they made a synthetic catalyst that was 10 times faster than the natural one.

In order for aspartic acid to become the neurotoxic sweetener aspartame, it must undergo various synthetic catalyst processes, and then must be isolated, given a solvent, filtered and distilled.
