Argonne chemist Michael Krumpelt and his colleagues in Argonne's Chemical Engineering Division used “single-site” catalysts based on ceria or lanthanum…
“Black liquor is routinely burned in a recovery boiler,” says Andre Boehman, professor of fuel science. “But it has more energy value as a synthesis gas which…
“One idea is based on the coal-to-jet fuel work that we have been doing for a long time,” says Caroline E. Burgess Clifford, research associate at Penn State's…
SINTEF is collaborating in the Wivib research project with ABB and SKF to develop the vibration sensor that can be installed, for example, on machinery that…
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a new energy storage device that easily could be mistaken for a simple sheet of black paper.The…
Do the overall efficiencies of renewable energy sources, such as wind, solar, and geothermal add up in terms of their complete life cycle from materials…
Increasing energy consumption and a growing world population implies shrinking reserves of fossil fuels. While the use of fossil fuels brings with it the…
The team, led by Professor Andrew Abbott is able to remove glycerol, the main by-product of vegetable oil-based biodiesel, using ionic liquids made in part by…
The propeller-driven submarines, or autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), currently perform a variety of functions, from mapping the ocean floor to surveying…
Scientists here have developed new dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) that get their pink color from a mixture of red dye and white metal oxide powder in…
Next-generation laser-based defense systems are now being designed for this need, including the use of infrared countermeasures to protect aircraft from…
“Rural communities won't benefit from the Farm Bill becoming a fuel bill. In the long run, family farmers and the environment will be losers, while…
The ability of carbon nanotubes to withstand repeated stress yet retain their structural and mechanical integrity is similar to the behavior of soft tissue,…
A Cardiff University research collaboration is working to recycle precious metals from road dusts and vehicle exhausts to create greener energy.The innovative…
Wireless sensor networks are hot. In any application in which wires used to cause problems, autonomous and wireless sensors can be positioned. An example of a…
Metals, plastics and wood – many materials today are powder-coated. Paints and lacquers are applied as powders, melted by the introduction of heat and finally…
