Scientists have developed what they are calling the perfect soap molecule.

A team of researchers has invented a new soap molecule made from renewable sources that could dramatically reduce the number of chemicals in cleaning products and their impact on the environment.

The soap molecules also worked better than some conventional soaps in challenging conditions such as cold water and hard water. The technology has been patented by the University of Minnesota and is licensed to the new Minnesota-based startup company Sironix Renewables.

The new study is now online and will be published in the next issue of the American Chemical Society's ACS Central Science, a leading journal in the chemical sciences.

Both an Abstract and Full report are available.
