UCLA engineers develop new metabolic pathway for more efficient conversion of glucose into biofuels; possible 50% increase in biorefinery yield

Green Car Congress

The new pathway is intended to replace the natural metabolic pathway known as glycolysis, a series of chemical reactions that nearly all organisms use to convert sugars into the molecular precursors that cells need. Liao (2013) Synthetic non-oxidative glycolysis enables complete carbon conservation. —Bogorad et al.

How E Ink Developed Full-Color e-Paper

Cars That Think

Over the years, researchers tried several approaches, some taking technologies from more traditional displays, others evolving from the original e-paper’s unique design. These are but a few of the factors we took into consideration when designing the algorithms, called waveforms, that we use to set the sequence of voltages.

GM provides technical details of the Gen 2 Voltec propulsion system used in the 2016 Volt

Green Car Congress

After proving a initial look at the design and capability of the different components ( earlier post ) late last year, GM is now providing deeper technical insight into the second-generation platform. In designing the second-generation system, GM engineers built on the knowledge and data gained from the first-generation Volt.
