Rising diesel prices renew interest in fuel-saving technologies for heavy trucks
Diesel fuel prices approaching $5 a gallon - and the resulting economic impact on products transported by truck - have created renewed interest in fuel-saving technologies developed during the past decade at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI). view more (2008-06-12)
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)
Brewing a blast-less fertilizer
Down in the green, rolling hills and farmlands around Lexington, Kentucky, Darrell Taulbee can be found mixing up a batch of his homegrown fertilizer. But he's not looking to grow a better Big Boy or distill a smoother bourbon, he tells us. view more (2007-09-06)
Forest fires a real concern for areas hit hard by hurricanes
Scientists from the Pacific Northwest will help forest managers in the Southeast quickly measure fuel loads across extensive areas of hurricane-damaged forests, the first step in deciding where to remove downed trees in order to prevent devastating wildfires from inflicting even more damage to hurricane ravaged areas in the Southeast. view more (2006-09-01)
Maize cell wall genes identified, giving boost to biofuel research
Purdue University scientists have helped identify and group the genes thought to be responsible for cell wall development in maize, an effort that expands their ability to discover ways to produce the biomass best suited for biofuels production. view more (2009-11-20)
Lone inventor carries British hopes for world car race title
A three-wheeler created by one man working in his spare time will be the sole British contender for the title of world's most fuel-economic car in a global competition later this month. Andy Green will keep the spirit of the eccentric lone British inventor fighting against the world very much alive when his Team Green car competes in the Shell... view more... (2004-05-06)
Microbes turn electricity directly to methane without hydrogen generation
A tiny microbe can take electricity and directly convert carbon dioxide and water to methane, producing a portable energy source with a potentially neutral carbon footprint, according to a team of Penn State engineers. view more (2009-03-31)
Cleaner diesels thanks to laser light
Measuring soot formation in a diesel engine is far from easy. Due to the turbulent environment in the combustion cylinder, no two combustion cycles are the same. view more (2007-12-10)
Iowa State engineer works to clean and improve engine performance
The five engines in Song-Charng Kong's Iowa State University laboratory have come a long way since Karl Benz patented a two-stroke internal combustion engine in 1879. view more (2008-09-18)
UGA researchers achieve breakthrough in effort to develop tiny biological fuel cells
University of Georgia researchers have developed a successful way to grow molecular wire brushes that conduct electrical charges, a first step in developing biological fuel cells that could power pacemakers, cochlear implants and prosthetic limbs. The journal Chemical Science calls the technique "a significant breakthrough for... view more... (2009-06-22)
Sandia researchers seek ways to make lithium-ion batteries work longer, safer
As part of the Department of Energy-funded FreedomCAR program, Sandia National Laboratories' Power Sources Technology Group is researching ways to make lithium-ion batteries work longer and safer. view more (2006-01-17)
Tires made from trees -- better, cheaper, more fuel efficient
Automobile owners around the world may some day soon be driving on tires that are partly made out of trees - which could cost less, perform better and save on fuel and energy. view more (2009-07-22)
New Cell Transplantation Technique Restores Insulin Production in Diabetics
Researchers are using a new cell transplantation technique to restore the cells that produce insulin in patients with type 1 diabetes. The method is minimally invasive, with few complications. view more (2005-11-30)
New maps emphasize the human factor in wildfire management
As wildfires put more and more human lives and property at risk, people are looking to fire managers for protection. view more (2006-11-16)
New method uses electrolyzed water for more efficient fuel production
Using electrolyzed water rather than harsh chemicals could be a more effective and environmentally friendly method in the pretreatment of ethanol waste products to produce an acetone-butanol-ethanol fuel mix, according to research conducted at the University of Illinois. view more (2009-07-28)
Researchers identify four new targets for breast cancer
Four suspects often found at the scene of the crime in cancer are guilty of the initiation and progression of breast cancer in mice that are resistant to the disease, a team led by scientists at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center reports in the June edition of Cancer Cell. view more (2009-06-11)
NIST/CSM sensor could help avert pipeline failures
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Colorado School of Mines (CSM) have developed a prototype sensor that quickly detects very small amounts of hydrogen accumulation in coated pipeline steel. view more (2008-10-03)
For the future hydrogen economy, a tiny, self-powered sensor
Hydrogen has been called "the fuel of the future." But the gas is invisible, odorless and explosive at high concentrations, posing a safety problem for hydrogen-powered cars, filling stations and other aspects of the so-called hydrogen economy. view more (2006-05-25)
Non-toxic hull coating resists barnacles, may save ship owners millions
North Carolina State University engineers have created a non-toxic "wrinkled" coating for use on ship hulls that resisted buildup of troublesome barnacles during 18 months of seawater tests, a finding that could ultimately save boat owners millions of dollars in cleaning and fuel costs. view more (2009-05-29)
US tax breaks subsidize foreign oil production
The largest U.S subsidies to fossil fuels are attributed to tax breaks that aid foreign oil production, according to research to be released on Friday by the Environmental Law Institute (ELI) in partnership with the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. view more (2009-09-18)
