Four Ways Engineers Are Trying to Break Physics

Cars That Think

Since then, experiments at the LHC have focused on better understanding how the newfound Higgs fits into the Standard Model, particle physicists best theoretical description of matter and forcesminus gravity. The Standard Model is beautiful, says Victoria Martin, an experimental physicist at the University of Edinburgh.

MECA emissions inventory & air quality modeling shows potential benefits of national cleaner trucks initiative at CARB limits

Green Car Congress

On 6 March 2020, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) proposed to set an intermediate FTP NO x emissions limit of 50 mg/bhp-hr in model years 2024-2026 with a final FTP standard of 20 mg/bhp-hr in 2027, representing a 90% reduction below today’s standard of 200 mg/bhp-hr.

EPA providing up to $3M in funding to reduce diesel emissions from school buses

Green Car Congress

EPA has implemented standards that require diesel engines to be more than 90% cleaner, but many older diesel school buses remain in operation and predate these standards. Since 2008, the DERA program has funded mor than 500 clean diesel projects across the country.

Governors of 11 Northeast and Mid-Atlantic States Agree to Work Together Toward Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Fuels; Timeline for Developing a Potential Low Carbon Fuel Standard for Region

Green Car Congress

A LCFS (Low Carbon Fuel Standard) program is a market-based, fuel-neutral program to address the carbon content of fuels. The Commonwealth’s Clean Energy Biofuels Act, signed in July 2008, also required Massachusetts to seek an agreement with its fellow RGGI member states to implement a LCFS on a regional basis.
