Photosynthesis could enable the production of biofuels
Scientists from the University of Southampton have reengineered the fundamental process of photosynthesis to power useful chemical reactions that could be used to produce biofuels, pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals.Photosynthesis is the pivotal biological reaction on the planet, providing the food we eat, the oxygen we breathe and removing CO2 from the atmosphere.
Lufthansa Technik uses EOS tool for on-line process monitoring
At the end of last year, EOS introduced EOSTATE MeltPool, an extension for its EOS M 290 system for Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS). It provides automated and intelligent process monitoring in real time - for every spot, every layer and every part. In this way, it creates the conditions for the automated monitoring of the melting pool. At the same time, it enables a view inside the part during the build process, as such paving the way for bui...
Designing safe, cheap batteries for grid level storage
A convection oven cooks more uniformly because a fan creates a steady flow of hot air around the food being cooked. The research group of Fikile R. Brushett, the Raymond A. (1921) and Helen E. St. Laurent Career Development Professor of Chemical Engineering, is applying that principle to a new water-based battery design.
Honey, I shrunk the FPGAs
RTG4 FPGAs integrate Microsemi’s 4thgen flash-based FPGA fabric and high-performance interfaces such as serialisation/deserialisation (SERDES) on a single chip while maintaining the resistance to radiation-induced configuration upsets in the harshest radiation environments, such as space flight (LEO, MEO, GEO, HEO, deep space); high altitude aviation, medical electronics, and nuclear power plant control.

Come fly with me: On renewable fuel
Who wouldn’t want to see a world in which renewable jet fuel powers the planes we travel in? This dream is becoming a reality faster than you would think. Oslo airport became the world’s first airport where one can fuel any airplane taking off from its runways with renewable aviation fuel. Their environment sparing renewable fuel is produced by Neste, a producer of waste-based renewable fuels.
Catalyst to be used in renewable fuels production
Researchers at Stanford University and the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have developed a tough new catalyst that carries out a solar-powered reaction 100 times faster than ever before, works better as time goes on and stands up to acid.
Second phase of BIOPV Pilot Project implemented in Singapore
In Singapore the second phase of Heliatek's large pilot installation of its award-winning has been successfully completed.Now being rigorously tested under the tropical weather conditions of Singapore is HeliaFilm, to provide new urban fit energy solutions for the ever growing cities of Asia.
Scientists take to the skies to track West African pollution
Scientists operating research aircraft over West Africa have detected organic materials in the atmosphere over a number of urban areas, contributing to concerns of the rise in pollution across the region.The EU-funded Dynamics Aerosols Clouds and Climate in West Africa (DACCIWA) project has, for the first time, investigated the impacts of natural and manmade emissions on the West African atmosphere.
Atlas Copco complete acquisition of vacuum company Leybold
The former company, Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum, now known as Leybold, is now owned by Atlas Copco, meaning Leybold now becomes part of the Vacuum Solutions Division, belonging to the Compressor Technique Business Area. With this acquisition, Atlas Copco trusts the strengths of the vacuum specialists at Leybold, founded in 1850, who will keep their traditional and well-known brand in the market.
