Researchers from the University of Cambridge used 3D printing to create grids of high-rise ‘nano-housing’ where sun-loving bacteria can grow quickly. The researchers were then…
Researchers have developed an efficient concept to turn carbon dioxide into clean, sustainable fuels, without any unwanted by-products or waste. The researchers, from the University…
In the mid-1990s, a few energy activists in Massachusetts had a vision: What if consumers had choice about the energy they consumed? Instead of being…
Gary Moore and his colleagues describe the use of ring-shaped molecules known as porphyrins, seen in this graphic. Such molecules, among the most abundant pigments…
As the world’s energy demands increase, so does our consumption of fossil fuels. The result is a massive rise in greenhouse gases emissions with severely…
Southwest Research Institute worked with government and commercial collaborators to successfully develop and demonstrate full-scale turbomachinery for one of the world’s first supercritical carbon dioxide…
