The US Department of Energy announced $75 million in funding to renew the Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis ( JCAP ), a DOE Energy Innovation Hub originally established in 2010 with the goal of harnessing solar energy for the production of fuel. The research program involves eight core projects: Light Capture and Conversion.

Gerald Estrin led the development of the WEIZAC , the first digital electronic computer made in the Middle East, and he helped found the computer science department at the University of California, Los Angeles. At UCLA, she designed one of the first systems for analog-to-digital conversion of electrical activity from the nervous system.

Conversion kits also will be available to switch medium-duty gasoline vehicles to run on propane. Researchers at MIT had earlier demonstrated the ability to make biopropane (LPG from corn or sugarcane) using a supercritical water process, and created a startup (C3 BioEnergy) in 2007 that attempted to commercialize the technology.

Among the most articulate and almost certainly the wonkiest is Jesse Jenkins , a professor of engineering at Princeton University, where he heads the ZERO Lab—the Zero-carbon Energy systems Research and Optimization Laboratory, that is. So when I went to MIT to do my Ph.D., A year ago, we weren’t even having this conversation.
