Left-handed or right-handed? Nanostructures identified by light

Opportunities for biology and materials science

06-Aug-2025 - How do left-handed and right-handed molecules differ? Researchers at ETH Zurich are using a new imaging method to visualise what was previously only measurable as an average, opening up new possibilities for biology and materials science. Why do spearmint and caraway seeds smell so differently, ...

From Pollutant to Valuable Chemical Product

Researchers have uncovered how bacteria use two nickel-containing enzymes to convert the greenhouse gas CO2 into energy-rich organic compounds

05-Aug-2025 - In two studies that have just been published in the renowned journal Nature Catalysis, the research teams show how the two nickel-containing enzymes carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (CODH) and acetyl-CoA synthase (ACS) transform CO2 into activated acetic acid. These detailed insights into the ...

Humify – superfood for the soil

Fighting climate change with green chemistry: The start-up Humify has developed a technology that can reactivate soil as a carbon sink

05-Aug-2025 - Hot and humid temperatures, no light, no air and then that intense odour: when the high-pressure cooker is fired up in the start-up Humify's laboratory, it is hard to imagine that under such conditions the resulting product – a kind of black liquid sludge – could help to influence climate change ...

How urea forms spontaneously

New reaction discovered: Potential for sustainable and low-energy urea synthesis

02-Jul-2025 - Urea is considered a possible key molecule in the origin of life. ETH researchers have discovered a previously unknown way in which this building block can form spontaneously on aqueous surfaces without the need for any additional energy. Urea is one of the most important industrial chemicals ...

Small but Mighty: Miniaturized Hydrogen Production

“We asked the biologically somewhat crazy question of whether we can’t just find a shortcut and let ferredoxin produce hydrogen”

19-Jun-2025 - Researchers have created a miniature biocatalyst for hydrogen production. It works efficiently with electrons from photosynthesis. Natural hydrogen-producing enzymes are large and extremely sensitive to oxygen. This makes it difficult to use them for the applied production of green hydrogen. ...

Two plant species invent the same chemically complex and medically interesting substance

Different building blocks: The plants use similar chemical pathways to biosynthesize these compounds, but use different starting materials and enzymes

06-Jun-2025 - A team of researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology collaborated with international colleagues to study the biosynthesis of ipecacuanha alkaloids. They compared two plant species and discovered that, despite using similar chemical approaches, the species employ different ...

Heat- and Oxygen-Stable Biocatalyst for Hydrogen Production

Newly detected [FeFe]-hydrogenase from a thermophilic bacterium is not degraded by oxygen

15-May-2025 - In the absence of air, microorganisms produce hydrogen using an enzyme called [FeFe]-hydrogenase, one of the most efficient hydrogen-producing biocatalysts known and a promising tool for green hydrogen energy. However, these enzymes are rapidly destroyed when exposed to air, which has so far ...
