Lab to work with Alphabet Energy to develop a low-cost thermoelectric system

Scientists have developed a new system to convert methane into a deep green, energy-rich, gelatin-like substance that can be used as the basis for biofuels and other bioproducts, specialty chemicals—and even feed for cows

Biomass has been a source of heat and energy since the beginning of recorded history

The new molecule harvests sunlight to create useable material from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

Iowa State University scientists have built a device that mimics the branches and leaves of a cottonwood tree and generates electricity when its artificial leaves sway in the wind

Streamlined process speeds up algae strain selection, could lower biofuel production costs

Researchers definitively establish that Miscanthus is 2.4 times more productive than switchgrass in the U.S.

“We may have stumbled onto the next green revolution,” said lead author of recent study

Flooring could be even more “green,” thanks to an inexpensive, simple method developed by University of Wisconsin–Madison materials engineers that allows them to convert footsteps into usable electricity
