3D-printed mineral limestone structures for calcium looping thermochemical energy storage: reactivity and performance across cycles
This work presents a proof of concept for the use of 3D-printed CaCO₃ structures, prepared from low-cost and widely available mineral limestone, as an innovative approach for thermochemical energy storage (TCES) via the calcium looping (CaL) process in a fixed-bed...

Identification of an alternative glycogen synthesis pathway independent of glycogen synthases in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803
In cyanobacteria, glycogen is the primary carbon storage polysaccharide. It is synthesised via the canonical GlgC-GlgA pathway, which involves the enzymes ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGP) and glycogen synthase (GlgA). The Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 mutant lacking...
