Cost-Effective Single-Step Process for the Catalytic Conversion of Methane to Methanol/Formaldehyde
Unmet Need: Currently there is no technology available in the market capable of producing Dimethyl Ether (DME) from methane in a single reactor. DME is an attractive substitute for diesel due to its high cetane number, which is a measure of its ignitibility in compression ignition engines. In addition, DME’s quiet combustion and inability to form...

Quorum Sensing: Cell-to-Cell Communication of Pathogenic Bacteria
Quorum Sensing is an essential form of intercellular communication used by many types of common bacteria, and many pathogenic bacteria use quorum sensing to attack and invade the human host. Quorum Sensing is used by bacteria to detect a critical cell number, which is the cell population required for pathogenic bacteria to release effective...
