The magic key for turning all three components—cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin—of lignocellulosic (non-edible) biomass into distinct high-value products is gamma valerolactone
What researchers found not only settles an argument about how rats process odors, it suggests an explanation for the much written-about “replication crisis” in some fields of science and points to better ways of designing experiments
“The method allows us for the first time to spectroscopically map entropy and enthalpy around solutes, which are crucial parameters to characterize molecular recognition,” researcher says
"If this continues, and with increasing amounts of ice-free land from continued glacier retreat, the Antarctic Peninsula will be a much greener place in the future," researcher says
