One of our top-rated posts on @altmetric.com this past week was published in @natchemeng.nature.com. You can read 'A synthetic cell-free pathway for biocatalytic upgrading of formate from electrochemically reduced CO2' here: spklr.io/63322BhLnp
A synthetic cell-free pathway for biocatalytic upgrading of formate from electrochemically reduced CO2 - Nature Chemical Engineering
Cost-effective, environmentally sustainable and energy-efficient ways to address rising atmospheric CO2 levels are urgently needed. Here the authors combine electrochemical reduction of CO2 to formate with biosynthetic conversion of formate to the universal building block acetyl-CoA using a synthetic metabolic pathway called ReForm.

Titan’s strong tidal dissipation precludes a subsurface ocean - Nature
Reanalysis of radiometric data from Cassini indicates that Titan does not contain a subsurface ocean, as strong tidal dissipation observed in its gravity field is not consistent with the presence of a liquid layer.

Earliest evidence of making fire - Nature
Baked sediment, heat-shattered artefacts and introduced pyrite in a 400,000-year-old Palaeolithic occupation site in Suffolk, UK provide evidence of intentional fire-making, marking a pivotal moment in human development.
