Joost de Gouw is at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences and in the Department of Chemistry, University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado 80309, USA. Formic acid constitutes a ...

I’m a big-time chemical and a clue to how chemists are celebrating Earth Week this year. What molecule am I? Formic acid is the simplest carboxylic acid. Its discovery in the distillation products of ...

Photoreduction of CO 2 into transportable fuel like formic acid (HCOOH) is a great way of dealing with CO 2 ’s rising levels in the atmosphere. To aid in this mission, a research team from Tokyo Tech ...

Osaka, Japan - Hydrogen occurs in nature as H 2 molecules; however when deuterium isotopes—so called "heavy hydrogen"—are introduced, the result can be deuterium hydride (HD) or deuterium gas (D 2).

As the world seeks solutions to reduce carbon emissions and transition toward a sustainable and cost efficient chemical industry, efficient utilization of CO₂ has become a major challenge. In response ...

It’s pretty clear why the tawny crazy ant gets the “crazy” label. The golden-colored ant tends to run around erratically, stopping abruptly and turning before darting off in a seemingly haphazard ...

Despite the harsh conditions of the interstellar medium, chemistry thrives in it, especially in star forming regions where several interstellar complex organic molecules (iCOMs) have been detected.

Ants use their own acid to disinfect themselves and their stomachs. A team has found that formic acid kills harmful bacteria in the animal's food, thereby reducing the risk of disease. At the same ...

Hydrogen-powered vehicles promise no local emission motoring, but face significant problems in the refueling and storage of the hydrogen fuel. Students at the Technical University of Eindhoven in The ...

Taminco has signed an agreement to acquire Kemira’s formic acid business for $190 million. Allentown, Pa.-based Taminco, which bills itself as the world’s largest producer of alkylamines, says the ...
