Light Driven Enzyme For Biofuels Explored In Detail
May 18, 2021 | 1 Comment
A new photoenzyme derived from microscopic algae uses blue light to catalyze the conversion of fatty acids, found in fats and oils, into alkanes and alkenes. The research conducted at the National Accelerator Laboratory is focused on enzymes – proteins to catalyze biochemical reactions – that are rarely driven by light. Scientists have identified only […]

Now A Recyclable Degradable Non Metallic Battery
May 11, 2021 | 2 Comments
Texas A&M University researchers have developed a new battery technology platform that is completely metal free, degradable, recyclable, non-toxic and safer across the board. The all-polypeptide organic radical battery composed of redox-active amino-acid macromolecules solves the problem of recyclability. The components of the new battery platform can be degraded on demand in acidic conditions to […]

The now-familiar sight of traditional propeller wind turbines could be replaced in the future with wind farms containing more compact and efficient vertical turbines. New research from Oxford Brookes University has found that the vertical turbine design is far more efficient than traditional turbines in large scale wind farms, and when set in pairs the […]
