The German tire recycling firm Pyrum Innovations plans to build a plant that would recycle up to 20,000 metric tons of used tires per year in Czechia. The plant is slated to start up in 2025. Pyrum estimates that its pyrolysis technology generates 2.5 L of oil, 5 kg of carbon black, and smaller amounts of textile fibers and steel wire from each tire it recycles. The firm aims to build more than 17 new plants by 2030.

Beckman Coulter Life Sciences and 10x Genomics have formed a partnership to advance single-cell assay workflow automation. Under the agreement, 10x intends to develop customized single-cell kits to be used with Beckman’s Biomek i7 automated liquid-handling systems—providing finished libraries ready for sequencing. The partnership will focus on high-throughput library preparation and streamlined simultaneous processing. Single-cell methods are becoming more important in therapeutic areas such as oncology, immunology, and neuroscience.

Dorothy J. Phillips , retired from the role of director of strategic marketing at Waters, has been voted the American Chemical Society 2024 president-elect by members of ACS. Phillips will serve as society president in 2025 and immediate past president in 2026. The appointment also includes serving on the board of directors from 2024 through 2026. A total of 11,428 votes were cast for president-elect. Voter participation was 12% of all eligible voters. With 6,653 votes, Phillips won the president-elect race against Florian J. Schattenmann, chief technology officer and vice president of research and development and innovation at Cargill, who received 4,775 votes. Members of ACS, which publishes C&EN, also elected four other people into ACS positions and voted on a petition that was up for approval in the fall 2023 election cycle. “Excited, blessed, happy, thankful. This is really a blessing for me to achieve this milestone,” Phillips says.
Dorothy J. Phillips,从沃特斯公司战略营销总监的职位退休,被ACS成员投票选为2024年美国化学学会当选主席。菲利普斯将于2025年担任学会会长,并于2026年担任即将卸任的会长。该任命还包括在2024年至2026年期间担任董事会成员。当选总统共获得11428张选票。选民投票率为所有合格选民的12%。菲利普斯以6653票击败了获得4775票的嘉吉公司首席技术官兼研发和创新副总裁弗洛里安·j·沙腾曼,赢得了当选总统的竞选。出版C&EN的ACS成员还选举了另外四人进入ACS职位,并就一份请愿书进行了投票,该请愿书将在2023年秋季的选举周期中获得批准。兴奋、幸福、快乐、感激。能达到这个里程碑对我来说真的是一种祝福,”菲利普斯说。

By pairing up techniques, researchers have produced images of individual molecules of a variety of glycans, or carbohydrate molecules, that are found on proteins or lipids. The images of these carbohydrate molecules are at such high resolutions that scientists could see and count every monosaccharide at every glycosylated site. “I’ve been making glycopeptides and glycoproteins for 25 years,” says Matthew Pratt , a carbohydrate chemist at the University of Southern California who was not involved in the research. He has long imagined how sugar molecules might look attached to protein backbones. “Reading this paper and seeing the striking results were like watching my thoughts and figures come to life.” Complex carbohydrates attached to proteins, lipids, or the outside of biological cells play major roles in cellular signaling and other biological functions .

Craig Crews is no stranger to the challenge of devising a punchy name for a new class of drug. The chemical biologist was involved in both the discovery and the naming of proteolysis-targeting chimeras, or PROTACs, which are double-ended molecules that degrade proteins. When Crews founded Halda Therapeutics to develop another new class of drug, he and the leadership team—including Executive Chair Tim Shannon and Chief Scientific Officer Kat Kayser-Bricker—wanted to give these molecules a moniker that’s a little graver. “We wanted to kill cells,” Crews says. “We had to figure out a way to make sure that RIP found its way into the name.” And so regulated induced proximity targeting chimeras, or RIPTACs, were christened. As the moniker suggests, a double-ended RIPTAC brings two proteins together. With one end, it binds a protein that is overexpressed in a tumor, which helps the RIPTAC get to, and stay inside, the

In a win for farmers and pesticide makers, a federal appeals court has reopened the door for use of the organophosphate pesticide chlorpyrifos on food crops in some US states. A Nov. 2 ruling by the US Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit nixes a 2021 rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency banning the neurotoxic insecticide on food. The court ruling also orders the EPA to reevaluate whether chlorpyrifos can be safely used on crops like sugar beets, soybeans, and certain fruits and vegetables. In its opinion, the court notes that the EPA failed to consider “its own proposal to keep a set of high-benefit uses in place.” The agency was under a short, court-ordered deadline to make a decision about whether to cancel all uses of chlorpyrifos on food or show that anticipated uses are safe. The agency zeroed in on a single solution—banning all uses of

Air Products plans to build and operate a facility to capture carbon dioxide emissions from an existing fossil fuel–consuming hydrogen plant that supplies ExxonMobil’s refinery in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Due to start up in 2026, the carbon capture facility would make the Air Products plant the biggest producer of blue hydrogen in Europe, the company claims. The captured CO 2 would be piped into an empty gas field 3 km beneath the North Sea. Financial details were not disclosed.

Water scarcity is a challenge for farmers in many regions, and climate change is making the problem worse. The French start-up Elicit Plant is tapping into the power of phytosterols to help boost yields for row crops like corn, soybeans, wheat, and sunflowers in the face of growing water shortages. Phytosterols are lipids that form part of cell membranes in plants. They function as signaling molecules that trigger growth and other adaptive responses when plants are under stress. The chemicals have been used in cosmetic, health, and nutrition applications, but Elicit is the first to apply them to agriculture, according to CEO and cofounder Jean-François Déchant. Elicit’s first commercial product, Best-a corn, contains a mixture of phytosterols extracted from plants. They’re designed specifically to increase corn yields under dry conditions. When taken up by the plants through their leaves, the phytosterols act as messengers, signaling to the plant to do
