(Ruhr-Universitaet-Bochum/Phys.Org) A German-Chinese research team has found a new synthetic route to produce biofuel from biomass. The chemists converted the substance 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) produced from biomass into 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF), which could be suitable as a biofuel. Compared to previous methods, they achieved a higher yield and selectivity under milder reaction conditions. The team led by Dr. Baoxiang Peng and Professor Martin Muhler from the Laboratory of Industrial Chemistry at Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) and the group led by Professor Christof Hättig from the RUB...

Howard was notified of a cache of ancient bones found by a road crew in Clovis, New Mexico in 1932. With new discoveries and technology, scientists are finding that humans inhabited North America long before the Clovis culture, about fourteen thousand years ago or more, by studying human excrement found in Paisley F...
