Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can be captured and transformed to useful chemicals with hydrogenation catalysts. Here, iron-functionalized graphene oxide-based catalyst functions as an effective catalyst for the selective conversion of carbon dioxide into a formaldehyde oxidation level.

The chemical sector is both hard-to-abate and hard-to-defossilize. This study shows how limiting the availability of alternative carbon feedstocks impacts climate goals and efforts to phase out fossil fuels.

This article shows that different oil types are not easily substitutable, raising costs and reducing productivity in refining for the EU market.

Additives are essential to the diverse use of plastics, yet pose risks to health and recycling quality. Collaboration across supply chains, disclosure of composition and risks, and improved additive design can enable more sustainable plastics.

Synthetic apparel is a major contributor to global plastic leakage driven by mismanaged apparel waste.

Pathogenic viruses and antibiotic-resistant bacteria thrive on plastic. The biohazard risks of this ‘plastisphere’ shouldn’t be overlooked in efforts to tackle the pollution crisis.

Advances in sensors, electrodes and probes are helping to expand the capabilities of brain–computer interfaces.

The Midwest Healthcare Case Competition lets graduate trainees gain practical experience and exposure to alternative careers in a condensed time frame without taking away from research commitments.

Post-approval evidence generation is essential for high-quality clinical care and should be a shared priority for clinicians, health systems, payors, and the medical products industry, as well as the FDA and federal agencies.

The further development of transistors based on two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides faces various issues, starting with the high density of defects typically found in the materials.

Your first professional job interview can be harrowing. Simple advance planning can make it smoother, says Mark Klenk.
