Working in conjunction with customer, Daimler AG, Thermo Fisher Scientific has developed an automated in-line matrix elimination technique that simplifies the determination of trace sodium in non-water-miscible liquids such as diesel, biodiesel, and regular petroleum fuels.

Thermo Fisher Scientific has developed a simple, reliable and robust method for detecting dissolved gases in water using a gas chromatograph equipped with an autosampler and an electron flame ionization detector (FID).

A new discovery about the atomic structure of uranium dioxide will help scientists select the best computational model to simulate severe nuclear reactor accidents.

Utah engineers create fuel cell that can run without high heat.

Scientists recently disclosed a new method to convert lignin, a biomass waste product, into simple chemicals. The innovation is an important step toward replacing petroleum-based fuels and chemicals with biorenewable materials, says Shannon Stahl, an expert in "green chemistry" at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Is the process close to a commercial reality?

ExxonMobil Corporation is establishing an advanced biofuels research program at Iowa State University.

Method could greatly boost energy content of crops grown for fuel.

Soil and groundwater may be imperiled more than previously understood.

Different environment helps yeast tolerate high levels of ethanol, making them more productive.

A homemade biofuel used by Colorado farmers to power their trucks and tractors performs similarly to conventional biodiesel and petroleum diesel, according to new studies by Colorado State University researchers.

A new method developed for studying battery failures points to a potential next step in extending lithium ion battery lifetime and capacity, opening a path to wider use of these batteries in conjunction with renewable energy sources.
