The Quest to Ensure Nonspeaking Autistic People Are Heard

Cars That Think

That study was led by the three of us: a developmental psychologist ( Vikram Jaswal at the University of Virginia), an electrical and software engineer (Diwakar Krishnamurthy at the University of Calgary), and a computer scientist ( Mea Wang , also at the University of Calgary). Our journey to this point was not smooth.

Last year he collaborated with ISEF organizers to establish a new category of projects, Technology Enhances the Arts , and he continues to serve as a judge. When I heard my name called, I couldn’t stop smiling,” he recalls, “because an organization like IEEE believed in me.” You don’t have to wait until you feel ready.” representative.

Penn team proposes liquid-organic hydrogen carriers as endothermic fuels for hypersonic aircraft

Green Car Congress

A team at the University of Pennsylvania is proposing the use of a liquid-organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC)—specifically, 1,2,3,4 -tetrahydroquinoline (THQ)—for use as an endothermic fuel for thermal protection of hypersonic aircraft engines. 1 were obtained, with conversions greater than 80% at 600 °C.

Startup licenses ORNL technology for converting organic waste to hydrogen

Green Car Congress

The technologies work as a system that converts organic waste into renewable hydrogen gas for use as a biofuel. The system combines biology and electrochemistry to degrade organic waste—such as plant biomass or food waste—to produce hydrogen. —Alex Lewis, CEO.

Oxford team directly converts CO2 to jet fuel using iron-based catalysts

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Oxford have developed a method to convert CO 2 directly into aviation fuel using a novel, inexpensive iron-based catalyst. The conversion reaction also produces light olefins—ethylene, propylene, and butenes—totalling a yield of 8.7%. and selectivity to C 8 –C 16 hydrocarbons of 47.8%

Stanford engineers develop catalyst strategy to improve turnover frequencies for CO2 conversion to hydrocarbons by orders of magnitude

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Stanford University have shown that porous polymer encapsulation of metal-supported catalysts can drive the selectivity of CO 2 conversion to hydrocarbons. The research team encapsulated a supported Ru/TiO 2 catalyst within the polymer layers of an imine-based porous organic polymer that controls its selectivity.
