This research investigates the presence of furan fatty acids in the latex of 48 Hevea brasiliensis genotypes, revealing significant variability and potential health benefits. The findings suggest new ...

Coffee made in espresso makers, above all that made from capsules, contains more furan -- a toxic, carcinogenic compound -- than that made in traditional drip coffee makers, although the levels are ...

Researchers in Singapore used a biomass-derived polymer to increase the efficiency of hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite solar cell. The cell was also found to obtain a 90% efficiency retention after ...

A schematic drawing shows furan reacting in the presence of a photocatalyst and blue light to form succinaldehyde. This photocatalytic process simplifies conversion of bioderived furans to valuable ...

To many consumers, the ubiquitous plastic beverage bottle is an environmental zero. It's made of nonrenewable fossil resources, holds a low-value product, is used only once, and often ends up in a ...
