Excited to share Mickey and Matt's work, >3 years in the making! We show that lignin can be transformed to jet fuel aromatics with record yields. Great collaboration with @NREL, @heynejos & many others. Now published in @Joule_CP https://t.co/MymG1YklMw

[U.S. National Science Foundation @NSF]

Discarded plastic makes up almost one-third of all the waste in all the landfills worldwide. Researchers are using the power of the sun ☀ to upcycle plastic waste.
