| Dispelling a misconception about Mg-ion batteries Posted: 16 Oct 2014 09:36 AM PDT Researchers used supercomputer simulations to dispel a popular misconception about magnesium-ion batteries that should help advance the development of multivalent ion battery technology. |
| New catalyst could improve biofuels production Posted: 16 Oct 2014 07:03 AM PDT Researchers have developed a new catalyst that could lead to making biofuels cheaply and more efficiently. The researchers mixed inexpensive iron with a tiny amount of rare palladium to make the catalyst. |
| Turning humble seaweed into biofuel Posted: 16 Oct 2014 05:56 AM PDT The sea has long been a source of Norway's riches, whether from cod, farmed salmon or oil. Now one researcher hopes to add seaweed to this list as he refines a way to produce "biocrude" from common kelp. "What we are trying to do is to mimic natural processes to produce oil," he said. "However, while petroleum oil is produced naturally on a geologic time scale, we can do it in minutes." |
