‘We all have our own career path’
According to KNCV Gold Medal winner Caroline Paul, biocatalysis offers many opportunities, but it is not by default more sustainable than chemical synthesis. ‘You do have to look at the numbers and make a fair comparison.’
A bigger and modular CT-scanner for safer EV batteries
Electric vehicle batteries are notorious for causing uncontrollable fires. Unfortunately, current battery management systems are unable to detect problems in time. Dutch start-up INNER has a solution: a CT machine the size of a battery pack that can do just that.

3D printed sustainable cat
A team from Amsterdam has 3D printed a catalyst made entirely of stainless steel and aluminium that works extremely well for borohydride hydrolysis.
Making square drug fragments under pressure
1,2-substituted cyclobutanes can be easily prepared under high pressure and are interesting building blocks for drug development.
Biocompatible labelling for PET scans
A Franco-Belgian team has developed a gallium-18F complex for PET scans that can also be attached to biomolecules. It could be turned into an 18F radiolabelling kit.
Pure iron carbide phase nurtures alpha-olefins
Careful pretreatment of your iron catalyst enables the highly efficient production of chemical building blocks in a Fischer-Tropsch reactor, an Eindhoven-Beijing team reports in Nature (after a 5-year reviewing period).
Towards the Refinery of the Future
Defining the future of the chemical industry is a good start, but realizing these visions will prove challenging. We asked Bas de Bruin, Guido Mul and Atsushi Urakawa, all of them PIs within ARC CBBC, to share their ideas on how we can turn that envisioned future into reality.
Time for chemistry to change lanes
To keep pace with a rapidly changing world, the chemical industry will have to reinvent itself, says Bert Weckhuysen, scientific director of the ARC CBBC consortium.
Methane pyrolysis: A balancing act on multiple levels
Researchers from Utrecht, Eindhoven and Delft are teaming up with several industrial partners in a five-year multilateral ARC CBBC project to carry out optimisation at both atomic and reactor scale of methane pyrolysis.
Functional coatings are the future
If you ask ARC CBBC researchers, future coatings will be able to adapt to light, temperature or chemicals and even be self-healing.
