Reaction engineering is the discipline that integrally combines chemical kinetics, transport phenomena and reactor design to develop, analyse and optimise chemical processes. This field underpins the ...

A Northwestern Engineering research team has revealed a new approach to conducting chemical reactions — one that doesn’t require direct contact with a catalyst. In typical catalytic reactions, the ...

Biomedical engineers have demonstrated a new synthetic approach that turbocharges bacteria into producing more of a specific protein, even proteins that would normally destroy them, such as ...

Northwestern Engineering researchers have developed a more efficient and stable method to conduct electrocatalytic reactions. The technique, which fluidizes catalyst particles in electrolyte instead ...

Scientists have discovered a fundamental shift in an enzyme's function that could help expand the toolbox for engineering biofuels and other plant-based oil products. If your experiment doesn't go the ...
