The Indian battery materials firm Epsilon Group has agreed to buy Johnson Matthey’s lithium iron phosphate cathode material technology center in Moosburg, Germany, for an undisclosed sum. Epsilon says it is amid a $1.1 billion investment plan that includes a cathode materials plant in Karnataka, India, as well as expansion in Europe. The firm also plans a $650 million synthetic graphite facility somewhere in the US. Matthey announced in 2021 that it would exit the battery materials business.

Sterling Pharma Solutions, a UK-based contract development and manufacturing organization serving the drug industry, has acquired NewChem Technologies, a pharmaceutical contract research firm that spun out from Newcastle University’s School of Chemistry in 2002. The firm, located in Newcastle upon Tyne’s Biosphere innovation hub, will coordinate efforts with Sterling’s early-phase development center in Cary, North Carolina. The deal includes all of NewChem’s assets and employees.

At temperatures above absolute zero, molecules in any substance move constantly in a random manner. Now, researchers have developed a way to capture the energy from this motion of liquid molecules and convert it into electricity ( APL Mater. 2023, DOI: 10.1063/5.0169055 ). The 2 cm x 2 cm prototype device produces picowatt levels of power. But the concept could eventually provide microwatt power levels that could run items like wearable electronics and medical implants, says Yucheng Luan, who founded East Eight Energy in Shanghai and led the work. Molecular thermal motion, he says, provides a small amount of energy, but liquids and gases are found everywhere. “If their motion can be converted into electricity , the potential is very huge. This is a new, green, environmentally friendly energy source,” Luan says. In an effort to produce sustainable power, many teams are trying to harvest energy from sources such as

Reducing energy consumption is an important part of fighting climate change—and a great way to cut expenses. Governments, corporations, and homeowners are looking to technology to reduce the demand for heating and cooling. Heat pumps, solar panels, insulation, air sealing, and sweaters all get lots of attention, but roof coatings offer another opportunity. Installation is simple and costs are low, sometimes as straightforward as replacing a conventional paint with a new coating system during regular maintenance. New entrants into the market promise better thermal management with a range of chemical tricks, and the coatings industry is watching closely. Imagine a paint that could lower your energy bills, an architectural coating that could help your company meet its greenhouse gas reduction targets. That’s the idea behind “cool roof” coatings. A range of such coatings already on the market can reduce the amount of solar heat gain that buildings have to cope

Intellectual property (IP) enables innovations and drives our economy. IP protections for novel scientific technologies benefit the discoverers and inventors—and the general public as well, who enjoy the advantages of commercialized technologies. Our legal system provides the ability to protect and leverage IP in the form of patents, trade secrets, trademarks, and copyrights—and, in doing so, incentivizes the development and commercialization of scientific technologies. As the American Chemical Society seeks to advance the broader chemistry enterprise and its practitioners for the benefit of Earth and its people, the ACS Committee on Patents and Related Matters (CPRM) understands that part of that advancement includes fostering the development, protection, and recognition of innovative chemistry. The ACS committee on patents has existed almost continuously since 1899, and its current structure and charge have been in place since 1966. The committee is composed of individuals representing viewpoints from all aspects of the IP system,
