UC Riverside researchers create first synthetic cellulosome in yeast
(03 Nov 2009)
Discovery has potential to make renewable fuel production more efficient and economical
A team of researchers led by University of California, Riverside (UCR) Professor of Chemical Engineering Wilfred Chen has constructed for the first time a synthetic cellulosome in yeast, which is much more ethanol-tolerant than the bacteria in which ...

New molecules created by UC Riverside chemists have wide applications
(28 Oct 2009)
Guy Bertrand's lab shows metal-free 'abnormal N-heterocyclic carbenes' are stable, allowing their use in numerous catalytic chemical reactions
Researchers at the University of California, Riverside have successfully created in the laboratory a class of carbenes, highly reactive molecules, used to make catalysts – substances that facilitate chemical reactions. Until now, chemists believed ...

UCR physicists to study attractive and repulsive forces crucial in designing nano-machines
(10 Aug 2009)
The Casimir force, also known as the Casimir effect, is typified by the small attractive force that acts between two close parallel uncharged conducting plates. Today, this force has become an interdisciplinary subject of study, playing an important ...

How natural oils can be hydrogenated without making unhealthy trans fats
(28 Jan 2009)
UC Riverside researchers illustrate how controlling shape of heterogeneous catalysts can promote desired chemical reaction
To prolong the shelf life of foods, manufacturers often add hydrogen to natural oils, a process called hydrogenation. But hydrogenation also results in the production of trans fats, which have adverse health effects such as raising bad cholesterol ...
