MIT Researchers work toward spark-free, fuel-efficient engines
In an advance that could help curb global demand for oil, MIT researchers have demonstrated how ordinary spark-ignition automobile engines can, under certain driving conditions, move into a spark-free operating mode that is more fuel-efficient and just as clean. view more (2007-07-24)
'Green Clean:' Researchers Determining Natural Ways To Clean Contaminated Soil
Researchers at North Carolina State University are working to demonstrate that trees can be used to degrade or capture fuels that leak into soil and ground water. Through a process called phytoremediation - literally a "green" technology - plants and trees remove pollutants from the environment or render them harmless. view more (2009-09-18)
When less attention improves behavior
new study conducted at the Centre for Studies and Research in Cognitive Neuroscience of the University of Bologna, and published by Elsevier in the February 2009 issue of Cortex shows that, in confabulating patients, memory accuracy improves when attentional resources are reduced. view more (2009-01-22)
'Green' Gasoline on the Horizon
University of Oklahoma researchers believe newer, more environmentally friendly fuels produced from biomass could create alternative energy solutions and alleviate dependence on foreign oil without requiring changes to current fuel infrastructure systems. view more (2009-01-14)
Research highlights how bacteria produce energy
The world's smallest life forms could be the answer to one of today's biggest problems: providing sustainable, renewable energy for the future. view more (2006-05-22)
DOE publishes research roadmap for developing cleaner fuels
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today released an ambitious new research agenda for the development of cellulosic ethanol as an alternative to gasoline. view more (2006-07-07)
Portable power plants
Running a laptop or other electrical equipment causes a problem when there is no access to a mains supply: If the battery runs out, where can you recharge it? This is a particularly thorny issue if, for example, your work takes you out on the road or involves spending lots of time on construction sites. In the long run spare batteries do not... view more... (2003-04-04)
CONVERTING WASTE VEGETABLE OIL INTO A USEFUL ENERGY SOURCE
A RESEARCHER in environmental engineering at Staffordshire University has developed a technique to convert unwanted cooking oil into a ‘biodiesel’ which is a much cleaner alternative to fossil diesel. Dr Tarik Al-Shemmeri, a Reader in Environmental Engineering at Staffordshire University, uses discarded vegetable oil as the basis of... view more... (2002-09-09)
Flying on Hydrogen: Georgia Tech Researchers Use Fuel Cells to Power Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
Georgia Institute of Technology researchers have conducted successful test flights of a hydrogen-powered unmanned aircraft believed to be the largest to fly on a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell using compressed hydrogen. view more (2006-08-29)
Chemistry & Industry Press Release for Issue 23 - Cover Date: Monday 3 December 2001
NEWS Human Cloning -Don't Believe the Hype (p751) Claims to have cloned a human embryo are overstated, according to experts. A six-celled embryo is not a clone, says Roslin expert Harry Griffin. Is Animal Cloning Safe? (p751) The claim by American Biotech Company that the production of 24 apparently healthy cloned cows is proof that cloning is... view more... (2001-11-28)
MIT: Regional storage facilities could handle nuclear waste
The Bush administration is eagerly pushing nuclear power as a way to help solve the U.S. energy crisis. But in its new plan for nuclear waste management, the administration is taking the wrong approach, says an MIT professor who studies the nuclear energy industry. view more (2006-08-23)
New Research Turns Sewage Farms into Power Plants
Researchers at the University of Warwick's Warwick Process Technology Group have devised a process that turns wet waste from sewage farms and paper mills into a source of power. University of Warwick researcher Dr Ashok Bhattacharya and his team are part of a Europe wide consortium that have cracked the problem of how to extract very pure levels... view more... (2002-04-29)
Action needed now for Minnesota to reach goals in reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2015
The state of Minnesota must act now if it wants to reach its Minnesota Next Generation Energy Act goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 15 percent by 2015, according to a team of University of Minnesota transportation and public policy researchers. view more (2008-07-23)
New biofuel from trees developed at UGA: Still-unnamed fuel can be blended with biodiesel, petroleum diesel; Has potential to boost Georgia's economy
A team of University of Georgia researchers has developed a new biofuel derived from wood chips. Unlike previous fuels derived from wood, the new and still unnamed fuel can be blended with biodiesel and petroleum diesel to power conventional engines. view more (2007-05-21)
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)
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)
Fuel cells might get hydrogen from water, organic material
A novel technique for producing hydrogen from water and organic material has been found recently at Purdue University, a discovery that could help speed the creation of viable hydrogen storage technology. view more (2005-08-31)
New type of emergency shelter could significantly improve conditions for Afghanistan refugees
A new type of shelter has been developed that could dramatically reduce the number of refugees that fall victim to hypothermia. Scientists have produced a tent lining that has superior thermal insulation to models currently used. It's predicted that the improved insulation of these tents will save up to 75% on fuel requirements. This means that... view more... (2002-02-20)
Making alternative fuel becomes more efficient with dual-catalyst system: UNC-Rutgers study
As the United States' oil reserves dwindle, some say the nation will have to rely on synthetic petroleum fuel made from its large stores of coal. view more (2006-04-14)
Experts call for local and regional control of sites for radioactive waste
The withdrawal of Nevada's Yucca Mountain as a potential nuclear waste repository has reopened the debate over how and where to dispose of spent nuclear fuel and high-level nuclear waste. view more (2009-07-10)
