One groundbreaking study addresses Campylobacter outbreaks in poultry production. Our team identified iron-based compounds demonstrating powerful antibacterial effects against this pathogen in chickens. As a leading source of foodborne illness from improperly cooked poultry, these compounds show promise for agricultural applications and are now in testing phases.

In another innovation, researchers transformed cellulose acetate from discarded cigarette filters into a highly porous carbon material. This novel substance exhibits exceptional hydrogen storage capabilities due to its remarkable surface area.
