SCS Chemistry Travel Award Congratulations to Ajmal Roshan on receiving the Chemistry Travel Award 2024 from SCNAT and the Swiss Chemical Society (SCS) to attend the 45th International Conference on Coordination Chemistry (ICCC) at Colorado State University, Fort Collins, USA. At the conference, he delivered an insightful talk on…

The groundbreaking work that led to the emergence of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) represents a major milestone in the design of materials with controlled atomic or molecular architectures. MOFs are organic-inorganic crystalline materials; they have attracted particular attention owing to their tremendously high surface area and tunable pore size, properties that…

Nymphe is a four-year European project dedicated to tackling environmental pollution by developing innovative bioremediation solutions.
The ambition is to remove multiple pollutants (such as microplastics and pesticides in agricultural soil, and chlorinated solvents and petroleum hydrocarbons in groundwater and sediments in the industrial area) from different contaminated sites in Europe.

Scanning electron micrograph of a polymer layer degraded by a nanobiocatalyst Despite widespread public awareness and increasingly stringent public policies, plastic use is increasing exponentially. Aside from massive fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, plastics pose a major environmental threat.In NANOdePET, the project partners…

The AgriLoop consortium aims to extend the agricultural production value of two major players of the global bioeconomy: the European Union and China, by eco-efficiently upgrading under-exploited residues into a portfolio of high added-value bio-products able to generate new bio-based markets or to compete with, and gain market share of, oil- and…
