IBM and Stanford University Developing New Organic Catalysts for New Types of Biodegradeable, Biocompatible Plastics
In the United States, up to 63 pounds of plastic packaging per-person is disposed of each year, instead of being repeatedly recycled. The IBM-Stanford breakthrough in green chemistry could lead to a new recycling process that reverses the polymerization process to regenerate monomers in their original state, reducing waste and pollution significantly.
Scientists from IBM and Stanford University are developing organic molecules for use as catalysts (organocatalysis) that could lead to the development of new types of biodegradable, biocompatible plastics. In a Perspective

USCAR: Hydrogen research is important
The debate as to whether money should be invested into hydrogen fuel cell technology continues to rage across the Atlantic, where the United States Council for Automotive Research (USCAR) published a whitepaper on the importance of continued research into hydrogen as a low-carbon transportation solution.
It outlines cost and energy density as key areas for improvement in hydrogen storage and states that steam methane reforming could serve as the first of many future hydrogen production pathways.
In a separate report from the National Research Council in July it was determined that although the Obama administration’s focus on near-term technologies to improve fuel consumption is on the right track, there is still a need for investment in longer term, higher-risk technologies such as hydrogen storage and hydrogen fuel cells.
