"some studies have calculated that big pharma emits more than the automotive industry... a new way of synthesising nitrogen-containing chemicals called primary amines, which are used in more than half of all pharmaceuticalsuses... uses a catalyst, activated by blue light, to speed up the reaction, and uses fewer steps... should [also] help to speed up the discovery process. The team is now collaborating with several pharmaceutical companies to scale up"
