A Step Closer To Enzymes Producing Hydrogen
July 26, 2017 | Leave a Comment
Ruhr-University Bochum researchers have clarified the crucial catalytic step in the production of hydrogen by enzymes. The enzymes, called [FeFe]-hydrogenases, efficiently turn electrons and protons into hydrogen. Therefore they are candidates for the biotechnological production of the potential energy source. Professor Thomas Happe, one of the authors of the study said, “In order to produce […]

Electrical Grid Reliability At Risk From Reducing CO2
July 20, 2017 | 1 Comment
Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) researchers believe we are “running towards a cliff with no fence” from the current plans to retire U.S. power plants. The team found that power plant retirement trends will complicate achieving long-term carbon dioxide emission reduction targets and require a significant increase in capital investments. In their paper now published in […]

New Fast Cheap Way to Make Supercapacitor Electrodes
July 19, 2017 | 1 Comment
University of Washington (UW) researchers have developed a fast, inexpensive method to make electrodes for supercapacitors. The important applications include electric cars, wireless telecommunications and high-powered lasers. But to realize these applications, supercapacitors need better electrodes, which connect the supercapacitor to the devices that depend on their energy. These electrodes need to be both quicker […]
