DFT calculations reveal a new reaction channel for chain growth from syngas building blocks
HCO in Syngas Conversion
First Flight by Solar Impulse Plane
First international flight by Solar Impulse plane without any fuel other than the power supplied by the sun
Cheaper H2 Generation
New iridium(III) photosensitisers give best activity seen with iron-based water-reduction catalysts for light-driven water splitting
Capturing CO2 Directly from the Air
Absorbents that remove CO2 from ultra-dilute gas streams could capture CO2 straight from the air rather than at source
How Green Are Biofuels?
Renewable resources as a feedstock does not guarantee a cleaner fuel
Angewandte Author Profiles May
Kilian Muñiz, Anthony K. Cheetham, Luis M. Liz-Marzán, and Helmuth Möhwald, are interviewed this month
Angewandte Chemie 21/2011 – The Worm that Turned
An overview of the latest issue of Angewandte Chemie
Microbes as CO2 Conversion Catalysts
Bacteria that electrocatalytically convert CO2 to formate present a green alternative to traditional inorganic electrocatalysts
Near-IR Dyes for Solar Cells
Much of sunlight’s energy is wasted as it lies in the near-infrared (NIR) region. New, stable NIR dyes collect and use this energy
Real-Time Tracking of Oil Spills
Biosensor that uses antibodies detects marine pollutants and can provide real-time monitoring of oil spills to guide their clean-up
