Forest fire prevention efforts will lessen carbon sequestration, add to greenhouse warming
Widely sought efforts to reduce fuels that increase catastrophic fire in Pacific Northwest forests will be counterproductive to another important societal goal of sequestering carbon to help offset global warming. view more (2009-07-09)
Separating uranium from plutonium
Moscow researchers have made the supercritical carbon dioxide work. Saturated with special reagents, carbon dioxide first extracts uranium from the spent nuclear fuel waste, then extracts plutonium and then flies away into the atmosphere. As a matter of fact, the spent nuclear fuel consists of multiple elements. First of all, this is uranium that... view more... (2003-08-08)
New X-ray technique may lead to better, cleaner fuel injectors for automobiles
Standard microscopy and visible light imaging techniques cannot peer into the dark and murky centers of dense-liquid jets, which has hindered scientists in their quest for a full understanding of liquid breakup in devices such as automobile fuel injectors. view more (2008-02-25)
Wood stoves -- a viable home heat source?
The stress of rising natural gas prices is leading many consumers to rethink how they heat their homes. view more (2009-07-15)
'Plastic oil' could improve fuel economy in cars, chemists say
Recycled plastic bottles could one day be used to lubricate your car's engine, according to researchers at Chevron and the University of Kentucky, who in laboratory experiments converted waste plastic into lubricating oil. These polyethylene-derived oils, they say, could help improve fuel economy and reduce the frequency of oil changes. view more (2005-06-14)
Improving Fuel Cell Durability: Research into Better Fuel Cell Materials and Designs Starts with Studying Failures
Fuel cells can be expensive and they typically don't last as long as their internal combustion counterparts. view more (2007-11-29)
European Shipyards Can Become Competitive and More Environmentally Friendly
Shipyards throughout Europe could become more competitive, and help the environment, by moving away from welding and using adhesive bonding for joining lightweight materials. That is the result of BONDSHIP, a major initiative to funded with EUR4.6 million (euros) under the Sustainable Surface Transport programme of the EU's Framework Programme. view more (2004-10-12)
Some biofuels might do more harm than good to the environment, study finds
Biofuels based on ethanol, vegetable oil and other renewable sources are increasingly popular with government and environmentalists as a way to reduce fossil fuel dependence and limit greenhouse gas emissions. view more (2008-05-28)
UT Knoxville and ORNL researchers turn algae into high-temperature hydrogen source
In the quest to make hydrogen as a clean alternative fuel source, researchers have been stymied about how to create usable hydrogen that is clean and sustainable without relying on an intensive, high-energy process that outweighs the benefits of not using petroleum to power vehicles. view more (2009-11-12)
Hydrogen tank lighter than battery
Dutch-sponsored researcher Robin Gremaud has shown that an alloy of the metals magnesium, titanium and nickel is excellent at absorbing hydrogen. view more (2008-11-05)
Connecting fuel-cells to the power grid
The travelling colossus weighs 20 tons and measures over seven meters in length. A few months ago, the core of the “PEM Oberhausen” power supply system completed its long journey from canadian Vancouver to the Ruhr region in Germany. On August 27, Ernst Schwanhold, the North Rhine-Westphalia minister for industry, small and... view more... (2002-09-20)
New aluminum-water rocket propellant promising for future space missions
Researchers are developing a new type of rocket propellant made of a frozen mixture of water and "nanoscale aluminum" powder that is more environmentally friendly than conventional propellants and could be manufactured on the moon, Mars and other water-bearing bodies. view more (2009-10-08)
Tiny aircraft just eat and go
Aircraft the size of bees that get the energy they need by feeding themselves a diet of dead flies could be buzzing around the battlefields and motorways of the future, thanks to research in southwest England. view more (2004-12-09)
All the carbon counts
Cutting down forests for agriculture vents excess carbon dioxide into the air just as industrial activities and the burning of fossil fuels do. view more (2009-05-29)
Engineers rescue aging satellites, saving millions
Researchers have used a new technique to save $60 million for broadcasters by extending the service life of two communications satellites. view more (2007-09-06)
Hydrogen Storage Gets New Hope
A new method for "recycling" hydrogen-containing fuel materials could open the door to economically viable hydrogen-based vehicles. view more (2009-09-02)
Researchers discover gene mutation thought to control energy levels
This study focused on the gene for AMPK (adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase), which controls the amount of energy in our cells by becoming active when fuel stores start to deplete, such as during exercise. view more (2007-09-19)
UCR chemists identify organic molecules that mimic metals
A limitation in using hydrogen as a fuel in hydrogen-powered vehicles is the difficulty involved in storing it in a cost-effective and convenient manner. view more (2007-04-20)
Researchers Plan to Connect Petrol Stations to Natural Gas Supply to Fuel Hydrogen Powered Cars
Researchers at the University of Warwick's Warwick Process Technology Group are leading a programme called "Hydrofueler" to develop technology to connect petrol stations to the normal natural gas supply to fuel hydrogen powered vehicles. The 2.8 million euro EC funded three year research programme has already drawn interest from Exxon... view more... (2003-02-14)
Soil emissions are much-bigger-than-expected component of air pollution
Nitrogen oxides produced by huge fires and fossil fuel combustion are a major component of air pollution. They are the primary ingredients in ground-level ozone, a pollutant harmful to human health and vegetation. view more (2005-06-07)
