Atom by atom, bond by bond, a chemical reaction caught in the act

  • Atom by atom, bond by bond, a chemical reaction caught in the act - Scientists have produced remarkable images of carbon atoms and the bonds among them. Resembling glowing textbook diagrams, hydrocarbon molecules are shown in high resolution for the first time before and after bond-breaking, rearrangement, and reforming of bonds during a complex chemical reaction.(10.1126/science.1238187)

    Bacteria use hydrogen, carbon dioxide to produce electricity

  • Bacteria use hydrogen, carbon dioxide to produce electricity - Researchers have engineered a strain of electricity-producing bacteria that can grow using hydrogen gas as its sole electron donor and carbon dioxide as its sole source of carbon.
