Chemistry Today - November 2024 ((better)) (TOP-RATED — WORKFLOW)

– Flow reactor design, photon flux, and stability issues.

Chemistry Today will be back in December with a year-in-review issue, featuring the top molecules of 2024. Until then, keep your fume hoods closed and your data reproducible.

From the lecture halls of IITs to the research labs of global pharmaceutical giants, chemistry in late 2024 is defined by a singular, pressing narrative: the intersection of sustainability and intelligence. This month’s highlights reveal a discipline that is rapidly evolving, driven by the urgent need for green energy, the precision of artificial intelligence, and the foundational rigor of competitive education in India.

– How cryogenic electron microscopy is solving structures of organic compounds without crystallization.

The plant produces ammonia (NH₃) using only renewable energy, water, and air. The breakthrough lies in a novel ruthenium-based catalyst that operates at 400°C—200 degrees lower than the traditional Haber-Bosch process—slashing energy consumption by 30%. For the chemical shipping industry, this is a revolution. Major carriers like Maersk have already retrofitted three container ships to run on ammonia combustion engines, with test voyages scheduled for December. – Flow reactor design, photon flux, and stability issues
