| Nanoparticle research could enhance oil recovery, tracing of fracking fluid Posted: 21 Aug 2014 12:35 PM PDT Researchers are examining how nanoparticles move underground, knowledge that could eventually help improve recovery in oil fields and discover where hydraulic fracking chemicals travel. |
| Water and sunlight: The formula for sustainable fuel Posted: 21 Aug 2014 06:07 AM PDT Scientists have replicated one of the crucial steps in photosynthesis, opening the way for biological systems powered by sunlight which could manufacture hydrogen as a fuel. |
| GPIM spacecraft to validate use of 'green' propellant Posted: 20 Aug 2014 03:20 PM PDT Milestone progress is being made in readying NASA's Green Propellant Infusion Mission (GPIM) for launch in 2016, a smallsat designed to test the unique attributes of a high-performance, non-toxic, "green" fuel on orbit. |
| Water leads to chemical that gunks up biofuels production Posted: 20 Aug 2014 01:43 PM PDT Trying to understand the chemistry that turns plant material into the same energy-rich gasoline and diesel we put in our vehicles, researchers have discovered that water in the conversion process helps form an impurity which, in turn, slows down key chemical reactions. |
