| 'Molecular levers' may make materials better Posted: 23 Dec 2012 12:27 PM PST In a forced game of molecular tug-of war, some strings of atoms can act like a lever, accelerating reactions 1000 times faster than other molecules. The discovery suggests that scientists could use these molecular levers to drive chemical and mechanical reactivity among atoms and ultimately engineer more efficient materials.  |
| Boosting galactan sugars could boost biofuel production Posted: 23 Dec 2012 06:41 AM PST Researchers have identified the first enzyme capable of substantially boosting the amount of galactan sugars in plant cell walls. Readily fermented, galactan sugars are a target of interest for researchers in advanced biofuels produced from cellulosic biomass.  |
