IDEALFUEL seeks to develop methods to convert woody residual and waste materials such as sawdust and wood chips into renewable marine fuels. The concept describes the conversion of lignin—the polymer found in the structural materials of plants and trees—from dry lignocellulosic biomass into renewable fuels.

mm in engineering acrylate polymers, as well as printing soft structures with exceptionally smooth surfaces into a gelatin methacrylate hydrogel. The 3D printing resin is composed of liquid polymers mixed with photosensitive molecules and dissolved oxygen. We print features as small as 0.3 —Hossein Heidari, co-first author.

It’s an improvement over traditional processes, which require facilities with a large footprint, high capital and operating costs and a large amount of waste generated. Through the patented process, magnets are dissolved in nitric acid, and the solution is continuously fed through a module supporting polymer membranes.

This wood passes through the beetle’s complex digestive tract and is finally excreted as its waste product, politely termed frass. In the midgut (MG), plant polymers are changed into simpler components, which are then fermented in the anterior hindgut (AHG), where nitrogen is fixed and methane and hydrogen produced.

Additionally, many chemicals relied upon for transportation (such as oils and lubricants) as well as other commodity chemicals and polymer precursors are, and will likely remain, carbon-based.

Samsung first announced QD-OLED plans in 2019, then pushed out the release date a few times. Unlike QD-enabled LCD displays (commonly referred to as QLED) where red and green QDs are dispersed uniformly in a polymer film, QD-OLED requires the QD layers to be patterned and aligned with the OLEDs behind them. And that’s tricky to do.

Because of technical challenges, even the plastic that does get recycled typically generates materials that are of lower quality and value than the original polymer.

Each jelly-roll cell packs in more active battery material, and less wasted space in metal casing. Tesla Cybertruck, unveiled to great fanfare in 2019 , will now be beaten to market by this year's GMC Hummer pickup, the Rivian R1T and perhaps even Ford's F-150 Lightning in 2022. Yet this "bigger can" brings big benefits.
