How Seawater Could Corrode Nuclear Fuel
January 26, 2012 — Japan used seawater to cool nuclear fuel at the stricken Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear plant after the tsunami in March 2011 -- and that was probably the best action to take at the time, say experts. But ... > full story -
One-Third of Car Fuel Consumption Is Due to Friction Loss
January 12, 2012 — No less than one-third of a car's fuel consumption is spent in overcoming friction, and this friction loss has a direct impact on both fuel consumption and emissions. However, new technology can ... > full story -
Algae for Your Fuel Tank
January 10, 2012 — The available amount of fossil fuels is limited and their combustion in vehicle motors increases atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. The generation of fuels from biomass as an alternative is on the ... > full story -

Building a Sustainable Hydrogen Economy
December 8, 2011 — The concept of the hydrogen economy (HE), in which hydrogen would replace the carbon-based fossil fuels of the twentieth century was first mooted in the 1970s. Today, HE is seen as a potential ... > full story -
U.S. CAFE Standards Create Profit Incentive for Larger Vehicles
December 8, 2011 — The current Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards create a financial incentive for auto companies to make bigger vehicles that are allowed to meet lower targets, according to a new ... > full story -
Nanoparticle Electrode for Batteries Could Make Grid-Scale Power Storage Feasible
November 23, 2011 — Researchers have used nanoparticles of a copper compound to develop a high-power battery electrode that is so inexpensive to make, so efficient and so durable that it could be used to build batteries ... > full story -
Carbon Mitigation Strategy Uses Wood for Buildings First, Bioenergy Second
November 22, 2011 — A new study is first to focus on the extra carbon savings that can be squeezed from trees when wood not suitable for long-term building materials is used for bioenergy: Depending on the process used, ... > full story
