Alternative Fuels

In a classic tale of science taking twists and turns before coming to a conclusion, two teams of researchers--one a group of theorists and the other, experimentalists--have worked together to solve a chemical puzzle that may one day lead to cleaner air and renewable fuel. The scientists' ultimate go more

Metal powders, produced using clean primary energy sources, could provide a more viable long-term replacement for fossil fuels than other widely discussed alternatives, such as hydrogen, biofuels or batteries. "Technologies to generate clean electricity - primarily solar and wind power - are being d more

While the debate over using crops for fuel continues, scientists are now reporting a new, fast approach to develop biofuel in a way that doesn't require removing valuable farmland from the food production chain. Their work examining the fuel-producing potential of Streptomyces, a soil bacterium know more
