The invention being developed by EPFLs Group of Catalytic Reaction Engineering (GGRC) will soon make it possible to manufacture drugs, cosmetics and household products in a safer and more efficient manner. The scientists have come up with a new kind of microreactor for industry that reinvents how chemical reactions are designed to be done on a large scale.
