Adding an electrical jolt to fermentation of industrial food waste speeds up the process and increases the yield of platform chemicals that are valuable components in a wide range of products, new research shows. Researchers also discovered that combining two bacterial species in the electro-fermentation mix not only helped accelerate the process, but allowed for more targeted chemical production.

A research team sheds light on the synthesis of 2-aminonaphthalene-1,5-disulfonic acid (2-ANDSA) diazonium salt, demonstrating how advanced thermal analysis and theoretical modeling can reduce the threat of thermal runaway.

People hesitant about getting a COVID vaccine were more likely to consider getting the shot after hearing a myth explained and corrected with facts, according to new research from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Science has continually proven the safety and efficacy of COVID vaccines, including the mRNA technology behind their development. However, vaccine hesitancy remains common.
