Abstract
THE synthesis of a complex carbohydrate from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of light, by means of a specially prepared nickel catalyst, is reported by Prof. E. C. C. Baly. The compound, when deposited on a surface, can be hydrolysed by diastase, and hence it may prove to be the parent of a starch-like substance.
