Recovering gold and copper from e-waste is cheaper than obtaining these metals from mines

Cost of Recycling E-Waste

Alkynylation of Aryl Carbamates
Rhodium-catalyzed reaction gives aryl acetylenes

Antibacterial and Antireflective Thin Films
Dual-function material with possible applications in touchscreens, medical devices, etc.

Harvesting Fog with "Harps"
Improved design for collecting drinking water

Ruthenium-Catalyzed Allylation of Indoles
Coupling indoles with allyl alcohols using β-hydroxide elimination

Cobalt-Catalyzed Electrochemical Amination of Arenes
Environmentally friendly synthesis of useful arylamines

Improved Z-Selective Metathesis Catalyst
Scalable synthesis gives useful N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand for Ru catalyst

Waste from Berries as an Antioxidant Source
Press residues from berry juice production can provide antioxidants for use in foods

Molecular Knot Made from Trimeric Circular Helicate
Ring-closing metathesis turns helicate into trefoil knot
