Metal Powders For Fuel Instead of Petrochemicals
December 17, 2015 | 2 Comments
McGill University researchers propose in their new study to use metal powders, produced using clean primary energy sources, to provide a more viable long-term replacement for petrochemical fuels than other widely discussed alternatives, such as hydrogen, biofuels or batteries. The team led by McGill University professor Jeffrey Bergthorson, lead author of the new study, suggests […]

Better Way to Make Beer and Biofuel
December 10, 2015 | 2 Comments
University of Wisconsin-Madison scientists have come up with a new method for making interspecies yeast hybrids in the lab. The makers of beer, wine, biofuels and other products that depend on yeasts may soon have many more strains of the microorganism to work with. Beer first. About 500 years ago, the accidental natural hybridization of […]
