  • Hot compost bugs promise greener car fuel

    A laboratory of hot, bubbling jars of bacteria near London holds the key to curbing CO2 pollution from cars, says Hamish Curran, Chief Executive of Britain's TMO Renewables. "We believe what we've found is not far from the silver bullet, and our demonstration plant will be about showing that," Curran told Reuters during a visit to the group's laboratories in Guildford on Wednesday. >> Read the Full Article
  • Got an addiction? Milk and oil prices rise, but demand remains strong

    They're items nearly every American can't live without, and they've been in the news a lot this summer. As prices for gasoline and milk rise, consumers have balked at—but still paid for—gas that hovers at around $3 a gallon and milk that costs anywhere from $3 to $5 a carton. But the question isn't whether these prices are too high—it's whether we're paying enough for our penchant for cheap dairy and fossil fuels. >> Read the Full Article

  • New Technology Prmoises Dramatic Chip-Cooling Potential For Future Computers

    WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Researchers have demonstrated a new technology using tiny "ionic wind engines" that might dramatically improve computer chip cooling, possibly addressing a looming threat to future advances in computers and electronics. The Purdue University researchers, in work funded by Intel Corp., have shown that the technology increased the "heat-transfer coefficient," which describes the cooling rate, by as much as 250 percent. >> Read the Full Article
  • Radical Engine Redesign Would Reduce Pollution, Oil Consumption

    WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Researchers have created the first computational model to track engine performance from one combustion cycle to the next for a new type of engine that could dramatically reduce oil consumption and the emission of global-warming pollutants. "We're talking about a major leap in engine technology that could be used in hybrid cars to make vehicles much more environmentally friendly and fuel stingy," said Gregory M. Shaver, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at Purdue University. >> Read the Full Article
