A partnering event for biotechnologies

Pubblicato il 10/08/2013Read time: 1 min

The Enterprise Europe Network, of which the University of Roma Tor Vergata is a member, organizes EEN Biotech and Bioeconomy Partnering  Event – IFIB  2013 (Naples, October 22nd-23rd 2013).

The international event is part of the workshop Italian Forum on  Industrial Biotechnology and Bioeconomy  (IFIB) 2013, organized by  Assobiotec (Italian Association for the development of biotechnologies), in collaboration with Innovhub – SSI, Italian Biocatalysis Center and the Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Craftmanship and Agricolture of Naples. 

  • IFIB 2013 aims to identify research projects in the field of industrial biotechnology in order to strengthen the Euro-Mediterranean network and the industry-university partnerships (for information: www.assobiotec.federchimica.it).
  • EEN Biotech and Bioeconomy Partnering  Event will encourage the dialogue between potential partners during predetermined individual meetings, with the aim of fostering new collaboration opportunities in range of commerce, technology transfer and research (for information: http://www.parcoscientifico.eu/node/541, for registration: http://www.b2match.eu/ifib2013).

Fields of interests: Industrial biotechnologies, including biocatalysts; environmental technologies; energy and biofuels; pharmaceutics; chemicals; food farming; marine biotechnologies. 

Both the events are free of charge. For any information, send a mail to: [email protected]

Discovered a New Carbon-Carbon Chemical Bond

di Chiara D'Errico
Pubblicato il 16/10/2024

A group of researchers from Hokkaido University has provided the first experimental evidence of the existence of a new type of chemical bond: the single-electron covalent bond, theorized by Linus Pauling in 1931 but never verified until now. Using derivatives of hexaarylethane (HPE), the scientists were able to stabilize this unusual bond between two carbon atoms and study it with spectroscopic techniques and X-ray diffraction. This discovery opens new perspectives in understanding bond chemistry and could lead to the development of new materials with innovative applications.

Chemistry

After nearly a year of review, on September 25, a study was published in Nature that has sparked a lot of discussion, especially among chemists. A group of researchers from Hokkaido University synthesized a molecule that experimentally demonstrated the existence of a new type of chemical bond, something that does not happen very often.
