Vanillin from Kraft Lignin

A green method for obtaining vanillin from technical lignin produced from pulp

27-Feb-2023

Huge amounts of technical or Kraft lignin are formed during pulp production. This lignin is difficult to process and so is usually just incinerated for heat production. A team of researchers, reporting in the journal Angewandte Chemie, have now succeeded in developing a green method for ...

A sustainable path for energy-demanding photochemistry

Novel strategy for the generation of highly energetic UV light

05-Dec-2022

Many photochemical processes rely on UV light from inefficient or toxic light sources that the LED technology cannot replace for technical reasons. An international team of scientists led by Professor Christoph Kerzig of Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) in Germany and Professor Nobuhiro ...

Sustainable recycling using electrochemistry: Carl Zeiss Foundation supports new research project

New Halocycles project aims to develop a halogen recovery technique contributing to the stabilization of the power grid and the defossilization of the future industrial society

07-Nov-2022

Increasing the recovery of valuable fossil raw materials, avoiding climate-damaging carbon dioxide emission, and stabilizing our energy supply network – these are the three major objectives of a new joint research project of Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and TU Kaiserslautern. With ...

Using chirality for faster, smaller, and more efficient data storage devices

Researchers present an innovative approach for enhancing electronic devices

28-Oct-2022

Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) are pursuing a completely new and unconventional strategy to improve the way data can be processed and – in particular – stored. Together with their partners at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, they have been granted funding by the Carl ...

Less risk, less costs: Portable spectroscopy devices could soon become real

New approach to enable measurements without strong magnetic fields

06-Sep-2022

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is an analytical tool with a wide range of applications, including the magnetic resonance imaging that is used for diagnostic purposes in medicine. However, NMR often requires powerful magnetic fields to be generated, which limits the scope of its use. Researchers ...

A novel path for sustainable photon upconversion with non-precious metals

Scientists use chromium for efficient green-to-blue photon upconversion

07-Jun-2022

Sustainable chemical applications need to be able to employ renewable energy sources, renewable raw materials, and earth-abundant elements. However, to date many techniques have only been possible with the use of expensive precious metals or rare earth metals, the extraction of which can have ...

Long-term carbon dioxide emissions from cement production can be drastically reduced

Chemists develop a method for producing cement by milling instead of burning lime, which is harmful to the environment

10-Nov-2021

Global warming and affordable housing are two dominant topics of public debate. Climate protection is achieved by reducing emissions of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO₂). Housing is generated through more housing being built. This requires concrete, the most important building material in ...

In the trap: New method for cooling charged particles

System consisting of two Penning traps connected to an electrical resonant circuit transmits the cooling power of laser-cooled ions

27-Aug-2021

For the first time, physicists have succeeded in successfully realizing a new method for cooling protons using laser-cooled ions - in this case beryllium ions. The innovative feature of the new system is that the two particle types are located in spatially separated traps. This means it is now ...
