A group from Nagoya University in Japan has succeeded in performing a difficult reaction to build the bases that make ...

Molecular recognition, binding and catalysis are often mediated by non-covalent interactions involving aromatic functional groups. Although the relative complexity of these so-called π ...

For example, Katalin Barta’s group at the University of Groningen can convert lignocellulose—a plant fiber’s intertwined matrix of lignin and cellulose—to a crude, but usable, mixture of ...
