For the first time, researchers in Prof. Yan Xia's laboratory have synthesized a new ladder type microporous polymide (PIM) by linking an arene-norbornene building block to a Tröger's base which can be used for high-performance gas separation membranes.
Stanford researchers at the Zare Lab, Department of Chemistry, have developed a simple and eco-friendly method that could potentially produce substantial amounts of ammonia and urea, both of which are primarily used in fertilizer.
Researchers in the Burns group at Stanford designed a reaction methodology that allows for a green and inexpensive cycloaddition of amine or amide-containing unactivated olefins for the synthesis of biologically relevant cyclobutanes.
Stanford researchers have engineered yeast strains for de novo biosynthesis of tetrahydropapaverine (THP) and a semi-synthetic production of papaverine with high efficiency.
Stanford researchers have designed a light-driven bimetallic alloyed plasmonic photocatalyst that can both effectively and selectively catalyze heterogenous hydrogenation.
Stanford researchers in the Swartz lab have developed a method for improving the productivity of biosynthetic processes via enzymatic detoxification of aberrant forms of NAD(P)H.
Stanford inventors have developed a cell-free method for carbon-negative biosynthetic production of commodity biochemicals by using hydrogen gas as a source of reducing equivalents.
Stanford researchers in the Swartz lab have proposed a method to synthesize metabolic cofactors from inexpensive substrates for protein synthesis and commodity production applications.
Chemical engineers at Stanford have developed miscible antifoams that are easy to incorporate and do not separate out from the target liquid during operation.
Stanford researchers in the Kanan group have developed a electrolysis cell for generating and extracting liquid and gas product streams from CO and CO2.
Stanford researchers have constructed a microbial cell factory by genetically modifying the bacterium Methylomicrobium alcaliphilum 20Z to convert methanol and methane into para-hydroxybenzoic acid (p-HBA).
Researchers in Prof. Thomas Jaramillo's laboratory have developed an electrochemical method for local production of ammonia that simultaneously solves an environmental problem while also producing a valuable chemical product with a massive global market.
Stanford researchers have developed an optical method to separate chiral molecules. Existing enantiomer separation methods remain challenging, costly and inefficient. Using Stanford's method, resonant nanoparticles or particle arrays are placed near a molecular solution.
