As she celebrates her first year writing for C2W International, Isabelle Kohler reflects on how persistent effort can shape our professional journey. She draws parallels between her writing activity and PhD journey, both relying on invisible work behind visible achievements.
Our members form the beating heart of our societies. Here, we regularly highlight one of them. This time, it’s NBV-member Ludovic Jourdin.
Natural deep eutectic solvents can be used to produce an interesting biosurfactant in a more sustainable way without organic solvents, Antwerp researchers write in the European Journal of Organic Chemistry.
A variety of molecular science project can take off thanks to an NWO Vidi grant. Ranging from CO2 fixation and supramolecular materials capable of learning to AI and sweet molecules.
Jury praises her pioneering and creative research on biocatalysis, which opens new technological routes towards sustainable chemical production.
Researchers in Eindhoven have developed an artificial cell system that mimics the mutual communication of biological cells.
NADPH dehydrogenase can not only reduce but also oxidise by simply raising the pH, as researchers from Delft show in ChemCatChem.
Chemists from Delft published one of the largest datasets of a model of rhodium-catalysed hydrogenation that showed surprisingly little.
Using quantum chemical calculations, a Utrecht-Amsterdam team analyses the synthesis, reactivity and bond formation of nickel carbene complexes.
Hot plasmas are better than cold plasmas for cracking ammonia for green hydrogen, Antwerp researchers discovered.
A 2023 paper in JACS suggested that the definition of hydrogen bonding should be extended to include hydrides. A team from Amsterdam responds.
