Wastewater produces electricity and desalinates water
A process that cleans wastewater and generates electricity can also remove 90 percent of salt from brackish water or seawater, according to an international team of researchers from China and the U.S. view more (2009-08-07)
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)
Cornell ecologist's study finds that producing ethanol and biodiesel from corn and other crops is not worth the energy
Turning plants such as corn, soybeans and sunflowers into fuel uses much more energy than the resulting ethanol or biodiesel generates, according to a new Cornell University and University of California-Berkeley study. view more (2005-07-06)
Portugal develops hydrogen fuel battery systems
A private capital company and two national research units took the first step towards the Hydrogen Society in Portugal in their launch of the construction of the first Portuguese prototypes of fuel battery systems, which will be presented within a year. view more (2002-06-26)
Go Speed Racer! Revving up the world's fastest nanomotors
In a "major step" toward a practical energy source for powering tomorrow's nanomachines, researchers in Arizona report development of a new generation of sub-microscopic nanomotors that are up to 10 times more powerful than existing motors. Their study is scheduled for the May 27 issue of ACS Nano, a monthly journal. view more (2008-05-01)
Hydrogen protects nuclear fuel in final storage
When Sweden's spent nuclear fuel is to be permanently stored, it will be protected by three different barriers. Even if all three barriers are damaged, the nuclear fuel will not dissolve into the groundwater, according to a new doctoral dissertation from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden. view more (2009-04-27)
Iowa State researchers explore turning fuel ethanol into beverage alcohol
Fuel ethanol could be cheaply and quickly converted into the purer, cleaner alcohol that goes into alcoholic drinks, cough medicines, mouth washes and other products requiring food-grade alcohol, say Iowa State University researchers. view more (2006-08-28)
Simple device which uses electrical field could boost gas efficiency
With the high cost of gasoline and diesel fuel impacting costs for automobiles, trucks, buses and the overall economy, a Temple University physics professor has developed a simple device which could dramatically improve fuel efficiency as much as 20 percent. view more (2008-09-26)
Grilling with charcoal less climate-friendly than grilling with propane
Do biofuels always create smaller carbon footprints than their fossil-fuel competitors? Not necessarily. view more (2009-05-12)
New process offers slick solution to tyre waste
With fossil fuels running out, the oil and gas tied up in the millions of waste tyres discarded each year has been targeted as a possible fuel source for decades. Tyres can yield up to 60% of their weight as fuel oil, but the relatively low price of refined crude means it makes little economic sense to use tyre-derived products. Dr Williams... view more...

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)
Warplane system could cut mid-air explosion
AIRLINES are facing fresh calls for their aircraft`s fuel tanks to be fitted with explosion-prevention systems like those on military planes. This follows a warning from Boeing that 3200 of its planes may have faulty fuel pumps that could spark explosions. Boeing says a spark from wiring in the pumps could ignite vapour in a near-empty tank. The... view more... (2002-10-02)
Purdue engineers create safer, more efficient nuclear fuel, model its performance
Purdue University nuclear engineers have developed an advanced nuclear fuel that could save millions of dollars annually by lasting longer and burning more efficiently than conventional fuels, and researchers also have created a mathematical model to further develop the technology. view more (2005-09-29)
Further commitment to sustainable power generation
A further £10M for research into renewable energy technologies Following the Government's "Energy Review" a further £10M is being put into research into renewable energy technology. The kind of work being invested in will include: Power distribution networks - ensuring a high quality, reliable supply of electricity. Marine... view more... (2002-05-31)
Aerodynamic trailer cuts fuel and emissions by up to 15%
Creating an improved aerodynamic shape for truck trailers by mounting sideskirts can lead to a cut in fuel consumption and emissions of up to as much as 15%. Earlier promising predictions, based on mathematical models and wind tunnel tests by TU Delft, have been confirmed during road tests with an adapted trailer. view more (2008-04-18)
Toward home-brewed electricity with 'personalized solar energy'
New scientific discoveries are moving society toward the era of "personalized solar energy," in which the focus of electricity production shifts from huge central generating stations to individuals in their own homes and communities. view more (2009-11-05)
Agricultural soil erosion not contributing to global warming, study shows
Agricultural soil erosion is not a source of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, according to research published online in Science. view more (2007-10-26)
INL-led team achieves nuclear fuel performance milestone
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Idaho National Laboratory, in partnership with three other science and engineering powerhouses, reached a major domestic milestone relating to nuclear fuel performance on March 8. view more (2008-03-11)
MIT: Lack of fuel may limit US nuclear power expansion
Limited supplies of fuel for nuclear power plants may thwart the renewed and growing interest in nuclear energy in the United States and other nations, says an MIT expert on the industry. view more (2007-03-22)
