York-Sichuan link to study biodiesel production
Biologists at the University of York have established new research links with Chinese scientists to investigate biodiesel - a cleaner, more environmentally friendly alternative to petroleum.   view more (2007-01-05)

MIT: Engineered yeast speeds ethanol production
MIT scientists have engineered yeast that can improve the speed and efficiency of ethanol production, a key component to making biofuels a significant part of the U.S. energy supply.   view more (2006-12-08)

Biofuel cells without the bio cells
Proteins keep cells humming. Some are enzymes that taxi electrons to chemicals outside the cell, to discharge excess energy generated during metabolism. This maintains energy flow in the cell and, in turn, keeps the cell alive.   view more (2006-10-18)

Harvesting Machine Driving Mesquite-to-Ethanol Potential
Knocking down mesquite hasn't been a problem in the past. Picking it up and getting it off the land has, said a Texas Agricultural Experiment Station researcher.   view more (2006-10-12)

Research aims for more efficiency in harvest and handling
Kevin Shinners wants farmers to put less energy into harvesting and handling biofuel crops-less fuel, less time and less labor. As a field machinery specialist, Shinners has worked to improve the efficiency of harvesting forage for animals. Harvesting biomass crops poses similar challenges, he says.   view more (2006-09-28)

MSU biofuels research fills need for new sources
The words are becoming familiar, even if the products aren't: biofuel, biobased, biodiesel, bioethanol.   view more (2006-08-07)

Researchers identify energy gains and environmental impacts of corn ethanol and soybean biodiesel
The first comprehensive analysis of the full life cycles of soybean biodiesel and corn grain ethanol shows that biodiesel has much less of an impact on the environment and a much higher net energy benefit than corn ethanol, but that neither can do much to meet U.S. energy demand.   view more (2006-07-12)

New process makes diesel fuel and industrial chemicals from simple sugar
The soaring prices of oil and natural gas have sparked a race to make transportation fuels from plant matter instead of petroleum. Both biodiesel and gasoline containing ethanol are starting to make an impact on the market.   view more (2006-06-30)

Ecosystems with many plant species produce more and survive threats better
Ecosystems containing many different plant species are not only more productive, they are better able to withstand and recover from climate extremes, pests and disease over long periods, according to a new study.   view more (2006-06-01)

Formation of cellulose fibers tracked for the first time
Cellulose-a fibrous molecule found in all plants-is the most abundant biological material on Earth.   view more (2006-04-21)

Biofuels Can Replace a Third of Transportation Fuel Needs with Significant Research and Policy Effort
A group of experts in science, engineering and public policy from the Georgia Institute of Technology, Imperial College London and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory recommend a comprehensive research and policy plan aimed at increasing the practicality of using biofuels and biomaterials as a... view more (2006-02-01)

Poison + water = hydrogen. New microbial genome shows how
Take a pot of scalding water, remove all the oxygen, mix in a bit of poisonous carbon monoxide, and add a pinch of hydrogen gas. It sounds like a recipe for a witch's brew. It may be, but it is also the preferred environment for a microbe known as Carboxydothermus hydrogenoformans.   view more (2005-12-05)

Microbial Fuel Cells: Optimization Of The Anode Compartment For Improved Electron Transfer
A microbial fuel cell mimics a biological system, in which bacteria do not directly transfer the energy-rich electrons gained out of the feeding to their characteristic electron acceptor. Instead, the electrons are diverted towards an electrode (anode) and subsequently conducted over a resistance... view more (2003-11-14)

Chemistry & Industry Magazine - cover date 1 September 2003
NEWS Rubella Risk Higher than Thought Women in the UK may be more susceptible to rubella than they think. A Japanese study reported 31 incidences of rubella-related deformities in children born to women who had been vaccinated in their early teens. Women born in the UK before 1988 were also... view more (2003-08-28)
