More solid than solid: A potential hydrogen-storage compound
One of the key engineering challenges to building a clean, efficient, hydrogen-powered car is how to design the fuel tank. Storing enough raw hydrogen for a reasonable driving range would require either impractically high pressures for gaseous hydrogen or extremely low temperatures for liquid hydrogen. view more (2008-04-03)
Fuel From Sawdust
Russia owns enormous reserves of coil, oil, and gas. However, such unconventional raw material in energy industry as biomass is of great importance. Its share amounts to 4 per cent now and, probably, will be increasing. Biomass, i.e. organic waste of wood industry and agriculture, trees of quick growth, is considered to be recoverable energy... view more... (2001-07-27)
Emissions rising faster this decade than last
The latest figures on the global carbon budget to be released in Washington and Paris today indicate a four-fold increase in growth rate of human-generated carbon dioxide emissions since 2000. view more (2008-10-02)
Scientists a step closer to producing fuel from bacteria
Scientists at the University of Sheffield have shown how bacteria could be used as a future fuel. The research, published in the journal Bioinformatics, could have significant implications for the environment and the way we produce sustainable fuels in the future. view more (2008-08-07)
UW-Madison hybrid-vehicle team places second nationally
A group of engineering students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has spent the last three years building one of the cleanest and most fuel-efficient SUVs in North America. view more (2006-06-09)
NASA's Chandra finds black holes are 'green'
Black holes are the most fuel efficient engines in the Universe, according to a new study using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. view more (2006-04-25)
An eco-friendly car engine that doesn't stall on performance
A novel type of engine which aims to use less fuel and reduce noxious emissions without detracting from the car's performance is being developed thanks to an investment of £93,500 from NESTA (the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts), the organisation that champions UK innovation. view more (2004-11-18)
UW-Madison engineers develop higher-energy liquid-transportation fuel from sugar
Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the air and combine it with water molecules and sunshine to make carbohydrate or sugar. Variations on this process provide fuel for all of life on Earth. view more (2007-06-21)
Biodiesel study targets cleaner air, cleaner engines
Cleaner engines, cleaner air and more uses for local farm products were the focus of a just-completed study of biodiesel as an alternative fuel source on selected Ontario farms. view more (2007-04-04)
Chemical Association to Speak Out on Rising Energy Prices at Trade and Industry Select Committee
The Chemical Industries Association (CIA) notes yesterday's announcement of the Trade & Industry Select Committee's (TISC) timetable for its inquiry into the effects of fuel prices and welcomes the opportunity to offer evidence to the Committee. As UK manufacturing's largest consumer of energy - with an annual combined energy and feedstock... view more... (2005-01-18)
Cleaner manure burns hotter in ethanol processing
Clean manure may sound like an oxymoron, but Dr. Brent Auvermann is working with feedyard owners to help them get the most "spark" from it as a fuel source. view more (2007-05-24)
Researchers measure field strength and density of ICF implosions
Scientists have identified for the first time two distinctly different types of electromagnetic configurations in inertial confinement fusion implosions that have substantial effects on implosion dynamics and diagnosis. view more (2008-02-29)
When a good nanoparticle goes bad
Researchers at Cornell University recently made a major breakthrough when they invented a method to test and demonstrate a long-held hypothesis that some very, very small metal particles work much better than others in various chemical processes such as converting chemical energy to electricity in fuel cells or reducing automobile pollution. view more (2008-11-11)
The race for biofuels driving alternative sources of biomass
Researchers have been studying fuels from biomass for years. Now, with growing dependency on foreign oils and an energy-conscious society emerging, biofuels are fast becoming part of a fuel revolution that could reach pumps all across America. view more (2007-10-29)
Nuclear cannibals
Nuclear energy production must increase by more than 10 percent each year from 2010 to 2050 to meet all future energy demands and replace fossil fuels, but this is an unsustainable prospect. view more (2008-03-05)
New clues about a hydrogen fuel catalyst
To use hydrogen as a clean energy source, some engineers want to pack hydrogen into a larger molecule, rather than compressing the gas into a tank. view more (2009-08-05)
Does Facebook usage contribute to jealousy in relationships?
The more time college students spend on Facebook, the more likely they are to feel jealous toward their romantic partners, leading to more time on Facebook searching for additional information that will further fuel their jealousy, in an escalating cycle that may become addictive. view more (2009-08-07)
Chemical screening system helps evaluate PEM fuel cell materials
Because of their efficiency and reduced pollution, fuel cells offer a promising alternative to traditional power sources in transportation and other applications. Yet more durable, less expensive materials are needed before these electrochemical devices replace internal combustion engines in vehicles. view more (2006-09-11)
UT Dallas nanotechnologists demonstrate artificial muscles powered by highly energetic fuels
University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) nanotechnologists have made alcohol- and hydrogen-powered artificial muscles that are 100 times stronger than natural muscles, able to do 100 times greater work per cycle and produce, at reduced strengths, larger contractions than natural muscles. view more (2006-03-17)
Trailblazing rural community shows green heating oil a viable option
Local schools and homes in the small Georgian town of Reepham in Norfolk are taking part in the groundbreaking 12-month trial, led by the University of East Anglia (UEA). view more (2009-02-09)
