Exciting as it sounds, most of this technology is still locked away in labs, not available in airports.
Two Australian teenagers have died after a suspected methanol poisoning in Laos. A pharmacologist explains what to know about this chemical compound.
The world is full of microbes, and many of them like the taste of waste. Some carbon monoxide-loving microbes can be harnessed to transform waste into valuable biofuel.
Allowing the sale of gasoline that’s 15% ethanol year-round won’t have much impact on gas prices, but recent research shows that growing corn for fuel affects the climate – for the worse.
Sensors that measure sweat could be coming to the market soon, but for them to be useful, we’ll need to understand more about this fluid that our body produces.
A new type of petrol is expected to cut carbon dioxide
Making biofuels from crops grown on land poses trade-offs between food and fuel. A new study looks offshore.
Our research identified three key lessons.
Researchers know the basic biology of what happens to your system after a night of heavy drinking. Unfortunately, evidence-based cures for the common hangover are still at the investigation stage.
Vehicles made before 2001 could suffer fuel system or engine damage if they’re run on E15.
Increased use of renewable energies could help curb climate change, but the water required for their production has dispossessed rural Guatemalans.
Scientists have engineered sugarcane to increase its oil content and are developing renewable jet aircraft fuel from the oil. The engineered sugarcane could become a valuable energy crop.
The right kind of algae can be converted to biofuel, and there are potential side benefits for carbon capture.
The great dream of cars running on sustainable petrol has not bitten the dust. Here’s why.
It’s like one great big distillery up there.
A new study challenges the longstanding view that biofuels are carbon-neutral, and asserts that in the U.S. to date, they have done more harm to the climate than gasoline.
A fight’s breaking out over who should pay subsidies for corn ethanol, and it is consumers who may end up paying for any changes.
Ted Cruz opposes subsidies for biofuels and still managed to win in ethanol-friendly Iowa. Is corn ethanol starting to lose its political clout?
A law signed into effect last week seeks to reduce fertilizer runoff that causes toxic algae blooms. But to really address the problem requires taking a hard look at how America farms.
