A consortium brought together by low carbon experts at the University of East Anglia (UEA) is today launching the first bus in the UK to run on clean, biomethane gas. http://www.physorg.com/news171657631.html Technology Tue, 08 Sep 2009 19:41:02 EST news171657631 (PhysOrg.com) -- Material scientists at Washington University in St. Louis have developed a technique for a bimetallic fuel cell catalyst that is efficient, robust and two to five times more effective than commercial catalysts. The novel technique eventually will enable a cost effective fuel cell technology, which has been waiting in the wings for decades, and should give a boost for cleaner use of fuels worldwide. http://www.physorg.com/news161529265.html Nanotechnology Thu, 14 May 2009 14:14:53 EST news161529265 Since the cloning of Dolly the Sheep over a decade ago, somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) has been considered a promising way to generate human, patient-specific stem cells for therapeutic applications. The shortage of human donor eggs has led to efforts to substitute animal oocytes. http://www.physorg.com/news152802480.html Biology Mon, 02 Feb 2009 13:08:34 EST news152802480 Solarmer Energy Inc. is developing plastic solar cells for portable electronic devices that will incorporate technology invented at the University of Chicago. http://www.physorg.com/news151761095.html Chemistry Wed, 21 Jan 2009 11:52:08 EST news151761095 In a paper published in the journal Nature Materials, EPFL professor Michael Graetzel, Shaik Zakeeruddin and colleagues from the Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have achieved a record light conversion efficiency of 8.2% in solvent-free dye-sensitized solar cells. http://www.physorg.com/news133964166.html Technology Sun, 29 Jun 2008 13:16:06 EST news133964166
