Chemists have developed an organic catalyst that can drive reactions using pyruvate -- a key biomolecule in many metabolic pathways -- that are difficult and complicated to achieve using conventional ...

An optimal Pt/CdS photothermal catalyst was used for upcycling PLA into value-added PyA and green hydrogen at relatively mild conditions. Plastic waste, a ubiquitous pollutant, poses a significant ...

Pyruvic acid is a type of alpha-keto carboxylic acid. These are organic compounds that are involved in the Krebs citric acid cycle, the main source of energy for cells. Pyruvic acid is one of the few ...
