A radical new treatment system lights up cancer…
Tokyo, Japan – One approach to treating cancer is photodynamic therapy using photo-uncaging systems, in which light is used to activate a cancer-fighting agent in situ at the tumor. However, suitable agents must be stable under visible…
Carbon-neutralizing propylene production change in petrochemical engineering
Researchers find a new way of producing industrially important propylene that is more energy efficient than existing approaches—and in the process turns carbon dioxide into another usable resource. Their pioneering catalyst design thus contributes to…
