Navy Researchers Look to Rotating Detonation Engines to Power the Future
November 2, 2012 — At the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, scientists are studying the complex physics of rotating detonation engines which offer the potential for high dollar savings by way of reduced fuel consumption ... > full story -
Temporary Storage for Electrons in a Hydrogen-Producing Enzyme
November 2, 2012 — Scientists have found through spectroscopic investigations on a hydrogen-producing enzyme that the environment of the catalytic site acts as an electron reservoir in the enzyme. Thus, it can very ... > full story -
'Ordered' Catalyst Boosts Fuel Cell Output at Lower Cost
October 30, 2012 — Fuel cells, which convert fuel directly into electricity without burning it, promise a less polluted future where cars run on pure hydrogen and exhaust nothing but water vapor. But the catalysts that ... > full story -
Self-Powered Sensors to Monitor Nuclear Fuel Rod Status
October 23, 2012 — Japan's Fukushima Dai'ichi nuclear disaster that occurred in 2011 -- a result of the strongest earthquake on record in the country and the powerful tsunami waves it triggered -- underscored the need ... > full story -
New Cobalt-Graphene Catalyst Could Challenge Platinum for Use in Fuel Cells
October 17, 2012 — There's a new contender in the race to find an inexpensive alternative to platinum catalysts for use in hydrogen fuel cells. Chemists have developed a new material -- a graphene sheet covered by ... > full story -
More Efficient All-Organic Catalysts in Fuel Cells
October 5, 2012 — Organic catalysts are a breakthrough in the quest for inexpensive and efficient materials for environmentally friendly production of energy in fuel cells. A new study provides better knowledge about ... > full story -
The Helix Nebula: Bigger in Death Than Life
October 4, 2012 — A dying star is refusing to go quietly into the night, as seen in a combined infrared and ultraviolet view from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope and the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX), which NASA ... > full story -
