Researcher Closes in On Ethanol Breakthrough that Reduces Need to Use Corn to Make Ethanol

The production of biofuels from basic plant material, rather than corn and other crops, would address concerns that making corn-based ethanol is pushing up…

Scientists Work to Convert Sunlight to Cheaper Energy

Scientists work to convert sunlight to cheaper electricity at South Dakota State University. Research scientists are working with new materials that can make…

Toward Plastic Spin Transistors and Organic LEDs

The study also suggests it will be more difficult than thought to make highly efficient light-emitting diodes (LEDs) using organic materials. The findings hint…

Clemson scientists put a (nano) spring in their step

A team of Clemson University researchers, led by Apparao Rao, professor of physics, has invented a way to make beds of tiny, shock-absorbing carbon springs…

Alternative Energy Hits the Road

Now, a research team at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) has found a way to use that heat-soaking property for an alternative energy source. Through…

“Anti-noise” silences wind turbines

If wind energy converters are located anywhere near a residential area, they must never become too noisy even in high winds. Most such power units try to go…
