As a possible energy source for fuel cells or a substitute for gasoline, methanol is increasingly drawing attention beyond its importance as a feedstock for chemical industry. It can be stored much more efficiently and c...
What can you do with x-rays that are 10 billion times brighter than those from your doctor's x-ray machine? A lot! Scientists using the powerful beam lines at Berkeley Lab's Advanced Light Source in recent years have conducted breakthrough research on platinum-nickel alloys as a catalyst for fuel cells, made a discovery about the Ebola virus structure that could lead to a vaccine, and crafted a new technique for guiding self-assembly of nanostructures that should open up vistas for entirely new applications.
Dr. Arum Han, assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Texas A+M University, and Dr. Paul de Figueiredo (PI) from the plant pathology and microbiology department have received a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to develop a microbial fuel cell (MFC) array for bioenergy research.
The fuels cell that four Scandinavian industrial companies are developing in collaboration with SINTEF could supply power to trailers and fork-lift trucks. The electricity generated by this "mini power-station"...
DuPont and SFC Smart Fuel Cell AG today announced that they have received a follow-up order from the U.S. Army for the development of the M-25 fuel cell -- a small, lightweight, portable power supply that can extend sold...
NexTech Materials, Ltd. recently completed scale-up of its FlexCell solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology to a nominal area of 1200 cm2 and power output of 400 watts per cell, believed to be the largest production plan...
In their most recent experiments with Geobacter, the sediment-loving microbe whose hairlike filaments help it to produce electric current from mud and wastewater, Derek Lovley and colleagues at the University of Massachusetts Amherst supervised the evolution of a new strain that dramatically increases power output per cell and overall bulk power.
Fuel cells can compete with batteries, the internal combustion engine and the power grid. Hydrogen can compete with any fuel now produced and cause no pollution but its price is higher than gasoline or natural gas becaus...
Microfluidic fuel cells could provide the necessary energy to provide continuous power to remote sensors, mobile phones and laptops, according to a University of Southampton student, who will graduate on Friday (17 July)...
The PowerMEMS 2009 Workshop Executive Committee extended the abstract submission deadline to July 14, 2009. Please note, this will be the ONLY deadline extension. There WILL NOT be any further deadline extensions. To rec...
