Electron sandwich doubles thermoelectric performance

Green Car Congress

Researchers from Hokkaido University and their colleagues in Japan and Taiwan have more than doubled the ability of a material to transform wasted heat into usable electricity by significantly narrowing the space through which spread electrons move, according to a new open-access study published in the journal Nature Communications.

The venture spawned dozens of products, including the first silicon integrated circuit, thus fueling the rise of Silicon Valley. Later, the converted Kim would become the “loudest-speaking” professor at KAIST, according to several fellow faculty members, and they say his absence made the whole campus seem quiet.

New systems biology model for wood formation can lead to progress in biofuel and green chemistry applications

Green Car Congress

Researchers in the US, China and Taiwan have developed a new systems biology model that mimics the process of wood formation, allowing scientists to predict the effects of switching on and off the 21 (at least) pathway genes involved in producing lignin, a primary component of wood. The model tracks 25 key wood traits. Muddiman, Mark F.
