Research advances understanding of how hydrogen fuel is made
Oxygen may be necessary for life, but it sure gets in the way of making hydrogen fuel cheaply and abundantly from a family of enzymes present in many microorganisms.   view more (2005-10-06)

New model predicts damage to cheese
Researchers at a Dutch university have developed a model that predicts how cheese will change when a force is applied to it. This makes it possible to predict how cheese will be damaged during the packaging or transportation processes. Anna Rzepiela from Wageningen University simulated the influence of shearing and tensional forces on the... view more... (2003-04-11)

A biological technique could save up to 2 million euros at sewage treatment plants
A new method for treating the smell of rotten eggs emitted by sewage plants, developed in conjunction by a researcher at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona's Engineering School (ETSE) and a researcher from the University of California, could lead to worldwide savings of two million euros a year. The researchers have discovered a simple... view more... (2003-07-15)

Hyper-accurate clocks - the beating heart of Galileo
Travellers have relied on accurate timekeeping for navigation since the development of the marine chronometer in the eighteenth century.   view more (2007-05-11)

New research shows water present across the moon's surface
It turns out the moon is a lot wetter than we ever thought. When Apollo astronauts returned from the moon 40 years ago, they brought back souvenirs in the form of moon rocks to be used for scientific analysis, and one of the chief questions was whether there was water to be found in the lunar rocks and soils.   view more (2009-09-24)

Nanoparticle Could Help Detect Many Diseases Early
Most people think of hydrogen peroxide as a topical germ killer, but the medicine cabinet staple is gaining steam in the medical community as an early indicator of disease in the body.   view more (2007-08-21)

Helium rains inside jovian planets
Models of how Saturn and Jupiter formed may soon take on a different look. By determining the properties of hydrogen-helium mixtures at the millions of atmospheres of pressure present in the interior of Saturn and Jupiter, physicists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have determined the... view more...

New material brings hydrogen fuel, cheaper petrochemicals closer to reality
A rubbery material that can purify hydrogen efficiently in its most usable form for fuel cells and oil refining has been developed by a chemical engineering group at The University of Texas at Austin.   view more (2006-02-03)

Nanotechnology may increase longevity of dental fillings
Tooth-colored fillings may be more attractive than silver ones, but the bonds between the white filling and the tooth quickly age and degrade.   view more (2009-07-02)

Ceramic microreactors developed for on-site hydrogen production
Scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have designed and built ceramic microreactors for the on-site reforming of hydrocarbon fuels, such as propane, into hydrogen for use in fuel cells and other portable power sources.   view more (2006-09-20)

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)

Nanotechnology helps scientists make bendy sensors for hydrogen vehicles
In recent years, Americans have been intrigued by the promise of hydrogen-powered vehicles. But experts have judged that several technology problems must be resolved before they are more than a novelty.   view more (2007-08-01)

Sweet fuel supply

Weizmann Institute Scientists Develop a Unique Approach for Splitting Water into Hydrogen and Oxygen
The design of efficient systems for splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen, driven by sunlight is among the most important challenges facing science today, underpinning the long term potential of hydrogen as a clean, sustainable fuel.   view more (2009-04-07)

Hydrogen found to transmit magnetism
A team of chemists and physicists at the Universities of Liverpool and Oxford have shown that hydrogen transmits magnetism. This discovery could be the first step to a new class of magnetic materials, and opens up a new field of chemistry. The team, headed by Professor Matthew Rosseinsky of the Department of Chemistry, University of Liverpool, and... view more... (2002-03-07)

For future superconductors, a little bit of lithium may do hydrogen a lot of good
Scientists have a long and unsuccessful history of attempting to convert hydrogen to a metal by squeezing it under incredibly high and steady pressures.   view more (2009-10-06)

Structure of enzyme against chemical warfare agents determined
The enzyme DFPase from the squid Loligo vulgaris, is able to rapidly and efficiently detoxify chemical warfare agents such as Sarin, which was used in the Tokyo subway attacks in 1995.   view more (2009-01-29)

Green Algae Step on the Gas
Whether it is in the shape of bread rolls, crunchy flakes or 'spaghetti al pesto di mare', the food industry is on an 'algae trip', selling these marine flora to health-conscious consumers as delicious energy-rich additions to their products. Yet there is another way that algae can help us to solve our energy problems: some of them can produce... view more... (2001-12-13)

Leeds researchers fuelling the 'hydrogen economy'
Scientists at the University of Leeds are turning low-grade sludge into high-value gas in a process which could make eco-friendly biodiesel even greener and more economical to produce.   view more (2007-11-28)
