IU scientists create self-assembling biocatalyst for the production of hydrogen; modified hydrogenase in a virus shell

Green Car Congress

Essentially, we’ve taken a virus’s ability to self-assemble myriad genetic building blocks and incorporated a very fragile and sensitive enzyme with the remarkable property of taking in protons and spitting out hydrogen gas. Jordan, a postdoctoral researcher at Alios BioPharma, who was an IU Ph.D. Jordan, Dustin P.

Researchers show use of MFRE can at least double wireless power transfer efficiency; more efficient than metamaterials

Green Car Congress

This could help advance efforts to develop wireless power transfer technologies for use with electric vehicles, in buildings, or in any other application where enhanced efficiency or greater distances are important considerations. Jordan Besnoff, a postdoctoral researcher at NC State, is a co-author of the paper. —David Ricketts.
