More Fermented legumes and cereals for better Healthy Planet
The way we produce and consume food has never been more critical. The global food system, with its large carbon dioxide emissions, has livestock farming as a primary contributor due to excessive greenhouse gas emissions, land and water resource consumption, loss of biodiversity, and concerns about animal welfare. However, the shift toward sustainable plant-based diets, focusing on minimally processed foods, can significantly reduce the global food system's impact and potentially improve human health with higher protein content, dietary fiber, and micronutrients. -

Super stable POM nanostructures improve efficiency in electrocatalytic production of hydrogen
High purity hydrogen gas has a great potential in future green energy solutions. Its major source is the electrochemical cleavage of water – a technology that is in itself energy demanding and challenged by side reactions in the oxygen evolution process at the anode. Efficient electrocatalysts permitting to facilitate anode reactions are therefore highly requested. The state-of-the-art materials are highly expensive, made of an oxide of a noble metal ruthenium. -
