Chicago (AFP) Aug 3, 2010General Motors will pour five million dollars into a plug-in hybrid commercial van being developed by an Indiana firm, the automaker said Tuesday. The IDEA van will be able to drive up to 40 miles (64 kilometers) on its electric battery before switching over to a hybrid gas-electric engine which offers a fuel economy of 36 miles per gallon (6.5 liters/100 km). "It's an opportunity to bri ... more  
Ithaca NY (SPX) Aug 04, 2010In the quest for efficient, cost-effective and commercially viable fuel cells, scientists at Cornell University's Energy Materials Center have discovered a catalyst and catalyst-support combination that could make fuel cells more stable, conk-out free, inexpensive and more resistant to carbon monoxide poisoning. The research, "Highly Stable and CO-Tolerant Pt/Ti0.7W0.3O2 Electrocatalyst fo ... more

NIST Arrays Are Step Toward Mass Production Of NanowiresGaithersburg MD (SPX) Aug 03, 2010 NIST researchers grow nanowires made of semiconductors-gallium nitride alloys-by depositing atoms layer-by-layer on a silicon crystal under high vacuum. NIST has the unusual capability to produce these nanowires without using metal catalysts, thereby enhancing luminescence and reducing defects. NIST nanowires also have excellent mechanical quality factors. The latest experiments, described in Advanced Functional Materials,* maintained the purity and defect-free crystal structure of NIST nano ... read more |
