Ethylene is one of those substances that acts as a precursor to hundreds, maybe thousands, of useful products. According to Wikipedia, it is a hydrocarbon like carbon dioxide but with the formula C2H4, or H2C=CH2. It is a colorless, flammable gas with a faint “sweet and musky” odor when pure. … [continued]

Research shows improved direct air capture of CO2 using charged molecule layers. Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have demonstrated that small molecular tweaks to surfaces can improve absorption technology for direct air capture, or DAC, of carbon dioxide. Amino acids, which react readily with CO2 and are environmentally friendly, … [continued]
