Many polluting solvents used by the chemical industry can be replaced by an amazing new mixture of two powders: 'deep-eutectic solvents' (DES). This next generation of solvents are sustainable, much ...

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have emerged as versatile, low-cost media formed by combining hydrogen bond acceptors and donors in specific ratios, yielding marked depressions in melting points ...

Researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham have demonstrated a novel way of fixing cells and preserving their biomolecules prior to single cell dissociation without the need for harsh ...

The recovery of bioactive compounds from food matrices and agri-food processing by-products is a cornerstone of sustainable ...

Typical metallurgical extraction routes require high energy investments to process metals from constituent ores. Others, such as cyanidation of gold ore, are perceived negatively by the public due to ...

This is one of the first photos of a new class of solvent, hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents (DESs). The DES is the orange phase, sitting on top of water, the transparent phase. Deep eutectic ...
