A recent discovery by Stanford University scientists could lead to a new, more sustainable way to make ethanol without corn or other crops

Energy stored in electric vehicles can be used to power large buildings, thanks to ground-breaking research from WMG, University of Warwick

Turning sewage sludge into biocrude oil

Detailed view of the atomic scale and mesoscale changes in a troubling layer offers insights for a better battery

Scientists have for the first time been able to see an especially important step in the water-splitting process, which may bring us closer to abundant solar energy for all

System is designed to mimic key functions of the photosynthetic center in green plants to convert solar energy into chemical energy stored by hydrogen fuel

The technology is also applicable to pharmaceutical, electronics, and chemical manufacturing for contaminant and corrosion monitoring

The magic key for turning all three components—cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin—of lignocellulosic (non-edible) biomass into distinct high-value products is gamma valerolactone

Determining how the ions of the liquid move and rearrange in response to an applied voltage on electrodes is key to optimizing the performance of ionic liquids for energy storage devices

Recent research shows that plutonium doesn’t exactly work the way scientists thought it did

A bacterial boost for bio-based fuels

Capacity fade is the reason why a cell phone battery that used to last a whole day will, after a couple of years, last perhaps only a few hours
