CAS Insights^TM

A literature search in the CAS Content Collection provides useful insights into recent and ongoing intensive research and development into green hydrogen.

Many technologies have been researched with an eye toward enabling a hydrogen economy.

This white paper details the CAS Biomedical Knowledge Graph and shows how it was used in drug discovery for COVID-19.

Most synthetic polymers are derived from fossil fuel resources, whose scarcity and imbalanced global distribution can affect plastics producers. Bio-based polymers, obtained from renewable biomass resources, have received wide attention in the past two decades.

While human capabilities have only increased due to recent technological and medical advances, they have significantly contributed to the release of around 830 gigatons of CO2 into the atmosphere in just the last 30 years alone.

Discover how artificial intelligence (AI) reduces patent application delays, increases patent quality, and optimizes patent office efficiency.

Learn about the important functions of intrinsically disordered proteins and the key role they play in COVID-19 therapy.

It turns out that these intrinsically disordered proteins may be the key to better overcoming diseases in neurodegeneration, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, amyloidosis, genetic diseases, and cancer.

This blog lists and discusses the common ingredients (both in the household and scientific contexts) as well as the unique ingredients used in the Covid-19 vaccines currently in use in the United States, and also addresses the dosage levels proposed for children under five years of age.

In the ongoing pursuit of greener energy sources, lithium-ion batteries and hydrogen fuel cells are two technologies that are in the middle of research boons and growing public interest. Read this blog to learn more about the promises and challenges of these technologies.

Gut microbiota, gut flora, or microbiome are the microorganisms that live in the digestive tracts of humans and other animals. While some bacteria are associated with disease, others are particularly important for many aspects of health and mental health.

Learn more about carbon capture, storage, and reduction in our landscape view of this emerging research with unique insights.

While legal concerns may dissuade researchers from pursuing cannabinoid research, initial studies suggest potential therapeutic benefits. Read more.

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are commonly used in a variety of consumer products, including cellular phones, laptop computers, and more recently, electric and hybrid vehicles.

As the production and usage of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has increased exponentially, their manufacturing and disposal have become subjects of political and environmental concerns.

CAS enables views into past journal and patent publications for lithium-ion battery recycling, including processes, emerging trends, and global challenges.

Learn about bioorthogonal chemistry and its applications, how it helped move the field of glycobiology forward, and what opportunities lie ahead.

Omicron's significant evolution from the original COVID-19 virus raises concerns about reinfection and vaccine evasion. This variant could potentially bypass existing immunity, threatening global pandemic recovery efforts. Explore the potential societal and economic impacts of this new challenge.

Recent clinical trials show that psychedelics, when properly controlled, could be used to treat PTSD and other mental health disorders. Learn more.

Learn about the growth and barriers of artificial intelligence (AI) and learning algorithms within the field of chemistry.

With recent mRNA booster recommendations, many ask if they should get a COVID-19 booster and what the science shows? This blog explains the science of boosters, reviews current recommendations, and examines recent research.

Learn more about the applications of lipid nanoparticles in cancer therapy, their therapeutic benefits, and their future within nanomedicine.

Newly developed microfluidic fabrication technology addresses the clinical need for scalable, precise, and reproducible solutions for vaccine production.

To mark the anniversary of the industrial accident and explosion in Beirut, this CAS Insight focuses on the role of ammonium nitrate and how weak bonds in certain chemicals can lead to instability and explosions.
