Airbus is Working on a Superconducting Electric Aircraft

Cars That Think

One of the greatest climate -related engineering challenges right now is the design and construction of a large, zero-emission, passenger airliner. And in this massive undertaking, no airplane maker is as invested as Airbus. Were working with partners on every single component, he added.

The Tiny Star Explosions Powering Moore’s Law

Cars That Think

We even used some of the same equipment, such as a filter tuned to the characteristic deep-red emission of energized hydrogen atoms, called a Hydrogen-alpha, or H-alpha, filter. The second laser hits the tin with a short, energetic laser pulse that converts it into a high-temperature plasma.

DOE researchers investigate economic and environmental impacts of converting wet waste to renewable diesel

Green Car Congress

Heavy-duty diesel vehicles using mixing controlled compression ignition (MCCI), the most common ignition and combustion strategies for heavy-duty diesel engines, contribute significantly to the emissions of GHG, oxides of nitrogen (NO x ), and particular matter (PM) and are subject to stringent emission standards. Skaggs et al.

Multicomponent catalytic system efficiently converts carbon dioxide to methanol

Green Car Congress

Inspired by naturally occurring processes, a team of Boston College chemists used a multi-catalyst system to convert carbon dioxide to methanol at the lowest temperatures reported with high activity and selectivity. It can be produced from hydrogen and carbon dioxide, mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and storing hydrogen in the process.
