New molybdenum-coated catalyst produces hydrogen more efficiently
A sailor for 40 years, James E. Holm says he has watched the sea and coastline become more and more polluted
The new molecule harvests sunlight to create useable material from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
The researchers developed a method using an ultrasound-mediated chemical process to combine the metals titanium, aluminum, and boron with a sprinkle of hydrogen in a mixed-metal nanopowder fuel
New platinum-based catalysts with tensile surface strain could improve fuel cell efficiency
“By changing one carbon atom in the backbone of an alkane molecule, we can make it flow 30 times faster”
Finding renewable energy for the future
Research team combines X-ray source at Berkeley Lab with other tools
The benefits are two-fold: The process removes harmful CO2 from the atmosphere, and the diesel can be used as an alternative fuel to gasoline
With three new detectors coming online in the next several years, scientists are confident they will collect enough geoneutrino data to measure Earth’s fuel level
