(Top row) Jiayi Fu, Jonathan Lym, (middle row) Weiqing Zheng, Konstantinos Alexopoulos, Alexander Mironenko, and (bottom row) Dionisios Vlachos of the Catalysis Center for Energy Innovation--a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Energy Frontier Research Center at the University of Delaware--and Anibal Boscoboinik of Brookhaven Lab's Center for Functional Nanomaterials. The scientists are part of a team that designed and characterized a catalyst to promote the selective breaking of a carbon-oxygen bond in a plant derivative (chemical structure with the OH side group shown in the image background) to produce a potential biofuel.
