My latest for @chemistryworld.com on a catalyst to convert carbon dioxide and hydrogen into ethylene with 99% efficiency and selectivity. With comments from @alextbarth.bsky.social and @casadevallcarla.bsky.social: www.chemistryworld.com/news/photoca... #ChemSky @science.org 🧪

Photocatalytic process converts carbon dioxide into ethylene with 99% selectivity

New process uses light and gold nanoparticles to hydrogenate carbon dioxide into key chemical feedstock

No había visto un tuit tan definitorio de esta Españita nuestra desde aquella joya del otro lado que ahora no encuentro:

“España es un señor dando de comer a los patos, apoyado en el cartel de prohibido dar de comer a los patos, quejándose de lo gordos que están.”

Mi casera, que vive de alquilarme una habitación en negro y no me deja empadronarme porque le quitaría una ayuda del estado, está en el salón quejándose de que en este país no quiere trabajar nadie porque cada vez dan más paguitas.

Blue poop? 💩🥶 Call your doctor! My latest story in @cenmag.bsky.social about a pill to detect IBDs like Crohn's and colitis:

C&EN (Chemical & Engineering News) @cenmag.bsky.social · Aug 16

A simple “sugar seal” for a pill could enable a new noninvasive test for intestinal inflammation. This tool uses a synthetic sugar that triggers the release of a brilliant blue dye, which is easy to spot in stool samples. cen.acs.org/analytical-c... #chemsky 🧪

Responsive sugar polymer pill dyes poop if it detects gut inflammation

If it’s blue, call your doctor

Hope is not something I feel frequently right now, so yesterday was a very special day.

I had the privilege to spend the day with the #CASFutureLeaders - meeting each of these brilliant scientists who are changing the world through their leadership and outreach was so uplifting and inspiring!

Climate change fuelled migration poses “growing threat” to UK food…

New analysis finds £3 billion worth of UK food, including rice, tea and mangos, comes from countries experiencing high levels of displacement fuelled by climate change.
