Hydrogen-powered lawnmowers?

In a breakthrough that could make fuel cells practical for such small machines as lawnmowers and chainsaws, researchers have developed a new mechanism to…

Gasoline from plastic packs

This is one of unique examples how the scientists can use a material initially made of petroleum to get if not oil per se again but the product of petroleum…

MIT releases major report on geothermal energy

An 18-member panel led by MIT prepared the 400-plus page study, titled “The Future of Geothermal Energy.” Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, it is the…

Survey shows strong support for offshore wind power

When asked to select from a variety of sources to help the state increase its energy supply, more than 90 percent of the 949 Delaware residents responding to…

Step on the gas — New fuel cell design adds control, reduces complexity

This simple control mechanism, which varies the flow of hydrogen fuel to control the power generated, was previously thought impossible and is a potentially…

Scientists stabilize platinum electrocatalysts for use in fuel cells

In reactions during the stop-and-go driving of an electric car, however, the platinum dissolves, which reduces its efficiency as a catalyst. This is a major…
