Protecting Yeast From Damage While Producing Biofuel
August 15, 2018 | Leave a Comment
University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers have identified two changes to a single gene that can make the yeast tolerate the pretreatment chemicals. Some chemicals used in pretreatment to speed up the breakdown of plants for production of biofuels like ethanol are poisonous to the yeasts that turn the plant sugars into fuel. Researchers from the University […]

The Biodegradable Paper Based Bio Battery
August 14, 2018 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Binghamton University researchers have created a biodegradable, paper-based battery that is more efficient than previously possible. It may be that batteries of the future may be made out of paper. The idea is a stretch, but for years there has been excitement in the scientific community about the possibility of paper-based batteries as an […]
