  • Titanosilicates in combination with H2O2 catalyse the ammoxidation of cyclohexanone to cyclohexanone oxime, a key Nylon precursor. Integrating a step for the in situ synthesis of H2O2 can lead to important efficiency gains but remains challenging. Here the authors report low-loaded subnanometric Pd clusters on titanium mordenite as an efficient catalyst for this transformation.

  • Converting waste plastics into liquid fuels holds great promise for advancing the circular economy but is challenged by poor selectivity and unwanted methane byproduct formation. Here, the authors present a Ru1-ZrO2 catalyst that efficiently upcycles plastic waste into high-value jet fuel–range hydrocarbons with minimal methane production.

  • The engineering of 5′ UTRs that modulate protein expression remains a great challenge. Here we leverage synthetic biology and computational design to develop a high-throughput strategy to design, screen, and optimize 5′ UTRs that enhance protein expression for non-viral gene therapies.

  • Bio-inspired materials are an intense area of study as researchers try to adapt biomaterials for other applications. Here, the authors report on the processing of protein materials derived from the byssal thread of scallops to create high-extensibility materials with self-recovery under wet conditions.

  • A workflow integrating tools from bioinformatics, structural biology and synthetic biology has been developed that enables the rapid design of pili-enabled living materials. This approach allows mining of pili-producing nonpathogenic chassis, understanding of the pili structure and assembly, and engineering of pili-enabled living materials in a systematic and sequential manner.
