In chemistry, molecules with a "flat" geometry are often stable enough to support a wide range of reactions. But in the quantum world, that's not technically true.

A research group at KAIST has developed an engineered E. coli strain that converts formic acid and CO2 to pyruvate and produces cellular energy from formic acid through reconstructed one-carbon ...

Joost de Gouw is at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences and in the Department of Chemistry, University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado 80309, USA. Formic acid constitutes a ...

Researchers develop a new method for the sustainable use of carbon dioxide. New synthetic metabolic pathways for fixation of carbon dioxide could not only help to reduce the carbon dioxide content of ...
