Putting the squeeze on nitrogen for high energy materials
Nitrogen atoms like to travel in pairs, hooked together by one of the strongest chemical bonds in nature. By subjecting nitrogen molecules to extreme temperatures and pressures scientists are getting a new understanding of not only nitrogen but other similar molecules, including hydrogen. view more (2008-09-04)
No longer a gray area: Our hair bleaches itself as we grow older
Wash away your gray? Maybe. A team of European scientists have finally solved a mystery that has perplexed humans throughout the ages: why we turn gray. view more (2009-02-24)
Fuel From Natural Gas
The scientists from the Topchiev Institute of Petrochemical Synthesis, Russian Academy of Sciences, won Golden Medal and a bonus grant at the 49th World Exhibition of Invention, Research and Industrial Innovation ("Eureka") in Brussels for their work "Synthesis of dimethyl ether". The dateless dream of several generations of chemists has finally... view more... (2002-02-08)
A Boost for Hydrogen Fuel Cell Research
The development of hydrogen fuel cells for vehicles, the ultimate green dream in transportation energy, is another step closer. Researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) have identified a new variation of a familiar platinum-nickel alloy that is far... view more...

Making more efficient fuel cells
Bacteria that generate significant amounts of electricity could be used in microbial fuel cells to provide power in remote environments or to convert waste to electricity. view more (2009-09-08)
New Purdue facility aims to improve NASA moon rocket engine
Purdue University engineers are conducting experiments using a new hydrogen facility to help NASA create designs to improve the cooling efficiency and performance of the J-2X rocket engine, critical for future missions to Mars and the moon. view more (2008-03-11)
Sustainable nuclear energy moves a step closer
In future a new generation of nuclear reactors will create energy, while producing virtually no long-lasting nuclear waste, according to research conducted by Wilfred van Rooijen, who will receive his Delft University of Technology PhD degree based on this research subject on Tuesday, 12 December. view more (2006-12-12)
DARESBURY REPORT SHOWS ROAD TO CLEANER TRANSPORT
Future global targets on reducing emissions of greenhouse gases may be more easily met thanks to new research on catalysts for fuel cells, published today in the new annual report from Daresbury Laboratory’s Synchrotron Radiation Department. Tough emission targets are driving the development of zero emission vehicles such as electric cars.... view more... (2000-12-11)
New hydrogen-storage method discovered
Scientists at the Carnegie Institution have found for the first time that high pressure can be used to make a unique hydrogen-storage material. view more (2009-11-23)
Industry Leader Calls for Moves Toward a Hydrogen Economy
Chris Clark, chief executive of Johnson Matthey, last night called on legislators to assess urgently future sustainable energy targets and technology. He was speaking in London on acceptance of the SCI Centenary Medal, which recognises excellence and achievement in the global science and business arena. From his perspective at the head of Johnson... view more... (2002-05-23)
Economical and cleaner cars with lean-burn catalytic converter
Dutch researcher Karen Scholz has taken a careful look at the properties of a new type of catalytic converter found in cars. view more (2007-07-13)
Revealing new applications for carbon nanomaterials in hydrogen storage
An international research team, involving Professor Rajeev Ahuja at Uppsala University and researchers in the USA, set out to understand the mechanism behind the catalytic effects of carbon nanomaterials. view more (2009-03-12)
Microorganisms one part of the solution to energy problem, says report
The answer to one of the world's largest problems - the need for clean, renewable sources of energy - might just come from some of the world's smallest inhabitants - bacteria - according to a new report, Microbial Energy Conversion, released by the American Academy of Microbiology. view more (2006-11-17)
Contact lens solutions may not kill off harmful eye bugs
Contact lens solutions may not kill off harmful eye bugs, reports a study in the British Journal of Ophthalmology. view more (2002-01-25)
More flexible method floated to produce biofuels, electricity
Researchers are proposing a new "flexible" approach to producing alternative fuels, hydrogen and electricity from municipal solid wastes, agricultural wastes, forest residues and sewage sludge that could supply up to 20 percent of transportation fuels in the United States annually. view more (2008-10-15)
Hydrogen peroxide could cause absorbable sutures to come apart, UT Southwestern researchers report
Cleaning absorbable sutures with hydrogen peroxide dramatically decreases their tensile strength, researchers from UT Southwestern Medical Center have found. view more (2007-07-31)
Pitt professor designs less-risky reactor for clean, safe energy
Reactors that burn hydrogen or natural gas to generate energy can be dirty and dangerous. The mix of air with hydrogen or natural gas can explode easily if composition and temperature are not carefully controlled. And reactors often produce polluting byproducts. view more (2006-09-13)
Chemists describe solar energy progress and challenges, including the 'artificial leaf'
Scientists are making progress toward development of an "artificial leaf" that mimics a real leaf's chemical magic with photosynthesis - but instead converts sunlight and water into a liquid fuel such as methanol for cars and trucks. view more (2009-11-06)
Waste coffee grounds offer new source of biodiesel fuel
Researchers in Nevada are reporting that waste coffee grounds can provide a cheap, abundant, and environmentally friendly source of biodiesel fuel for powering cars and trucks. Their study has been published online in the American Chemical Society's (ACS) Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, a bi-weekly publication. view more (2008-12-11)
Novel organic metal hybrids that will revolutionize materials science and chemical engineering
A novel class of hybrid materials made from metals and organic compounds is changing the face of solid state chemistry and materials science just 10 years after its discovery, with applications already in safe storage of highly inflammable gases such as hydrogen and methane. view more (2008-02-19)
