Microbes often evolve and work together to thrive in no oxygen situations, hinting at how carbon and energy flow just below soils and sediments.
Discovery of a new enzyme system sheds further light on a microbe’s ability to efficiently break down inedible plant matter for conversion to biofuels and biobased chemicals.
Findings could aid contaminant management efforts at former weapons production and industrial processing sites.
Predictable assembly of protein building blocks result in a new class of porous materials, with potential uses ranging from efficient fuel storage to practical carbon capture and conversion.
A low-cost, stable oxide film is highly conductive and transparent, rivaling its predecessors.
A new approach to investigating green fluorescent protein provides a vital tool for unraveling molecular-level details of processes important in biology and light harvesting for energy use.
Hollow shape-selected platinum nanocages represent a new class of highly active catalysts.
Herbivore digestion involves a large variety of enzymes that break woody plants into biofuel building blocks.
