Chemists at Princeton have developed a new chemical method to introduce valuable alkenes into simple hydrocarbon molecules, a transformation known as dehydrogenation, which is found in important ...

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have developed a highly efficient cell-free enzyme system that converts fatty acids into 1-alkenes—versatile hydrocarbons that can serve as ...

If concerns for global climate change and ever-increasing costs weren't enough, the disastrous Gulf oil spill makes an even more compelling case for the development of transportation fuels that are ...

Hydrocarbons are the Organic compounds obtained by the simple combination of hydrogen and carbon-like petrol, diesel, and kerosene oil, etc. It is usually divided into two categories: Aliphatic ...

Science, New Series, Vol. 163, No. 3866 (Jan. 31, 1969), pp. 478-479 (2 pages) A new method for equilibrating water containing alkane hydrocarbons with a gas phase and analyzing the gas for ...

Extraction and analysis of the hydrocarbons from European honey bee queens indicates the presence of unsaturated compounds not exhibited by worker bees. Queen-specific hydrocarbons consist of a ...

A group of TU Delft bachelor students has developed, as part of the students' minor in Computational Science and Engineering, a new model that accurately predicts the molecular properties of alkanes.

As scientists look for ways to help remove excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, a number of experiments have focused on employing this gas to create usable fuels. Both hydrogen and methanol have ...
