OAK RIDGE, Tenn., May 2, 2018—The search for a more energy efficient and environmentally friendly method of ammonia production for fertilizer has led to the discovery of a new type of catalytic reaction.
Achievement: Designed a polymer for selective and reversible carbon dioxide (CO2) capture.
Significance and Impact: The new polymer that is based on amidines can provide a more efficient alternative to conventional polyethyleneimine (PEI) based solid-sorb
Achievement: Devised a novel and accurate computational technique for investigating the self-assembly of large macromolecules, and used this method to reveal the initial stages of self-assembly of the carboxysome, the prototype bacterial
