Description
Chemurgy, a word coined in 1935 and used until the early 1940s, is little known today. Its more modern name is biochemical engineering. Learn more about the Chemurgy movement in the late 1930s and how George Washington Carver created an interested array of synthetic by-products from agricultural plants that largely inpacted society.
