While growing up in Germany, Heike Riel helped her father design and build furniture in the family workshop. She joined IBM Research in Zurich in 1998 while pursuing her doctorate in physics in collaboration with the University of Bayreuth , also in Germany. To do this conversion, you need sophisticated technology,” Riel says. “We

DOE is seeking consortia of scientists and engineers from universities, private industry, and government to develop new methods to bring the new biofuels to market in an accelerated timeframe. These R&D needs were explored at the 2008 National Algal Biofuels Technology Roadmap Workshop. drop-in” renewable hydrocarbon fuels.

The new C5 FUEL yeast delivers fermentation and ethanol yields that set a new standard for conversion of biomass sugars from pretreated corn stover, converting up to 97% of the plant sugars into fuel, the researchers said. The results were presented at the 31 st International Fuel Ethanol Workshop this week in Minneapolis.

Universities have these very creative, forward looking people who frequently aren’t bothered by whatever the legacy solutions are. There, the idea is that in addition to having engineering teams to support our research, we want to use AI to help develop more futuristic designs. But the system engineering is vastly more important.

Conversions are mostly for the Prius, with a few for the Ford Escape/Mercury Mariner hybrid SUVs. At that point, we expect the aftermarket companies prices to have come down sufficiently so that their conversions will be attractive to owners of hundreds of thousands of hybrids already on the road. So far, most start as hybrids.

The first node of the ARPANET was installed at the University of California, Los Angeles, in 1969. To sit at a terminal and with a few keystrokes be connected through the TIP, to the ARPANET, and then to applications running on computers at dozens of universities and research facilities must have felt like a visit to an alien world.

This project aims to transfer high energy electrons from a cyanobacterial cell where there is excess that would otherwise be turned to heat to an adjacent cell which will be engineered to produce food or fuel products. Some blue-green algae have protein structures, called carboxysomes, that reduce such losses.
