A team of interdisciplinary researchers at UCLA has been working on a unique solution that may help eliminate some sources of greenhouse gases.
Michigan State University researcher Cheryl Kerfeld and her team apply engineering approaches to living systems to create new sources of energy that could power the world in a healthy, sustainable way.
O.C. firm with UCI roots makes strides toward fusion energy production
Combining bacterial genes and virus shell creates a highly efficient, renewable material used in generating power from water.
An inexpensive method for generating clean fuel is the modern-day equivalent of the philosopher’s stone. Two scientists at the Institute for Molecular Engineering and the University of Wisconsin have made an important contribution to the effort.
In every agricultural region on Earth, huge amounts of the structural parts of crops -- things like cornstalks, sugar canes, beanstalks, and wheat stems -- are discarded because we haven't figured out a way to convert them into fuel. Plant scientist Daniel Cosgrove, who has devoted decades to studying the cell walls that make plant matter resistant to chemical conversion, thinks it doesn't have to be that way.
