Materials scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have discovered a phenomenon—the direct conversion of mechanical energy to chemical energy—which they termed the piezoelectrochemical (PZEC) effect. H 2 and O 2 are produced by deforming a ZnO fiber or BaTiO 3 dendrite in water via oxidation-reduction reactions.

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison led by James Dumesic have developed a catalytic process to convert cellulose into liquid hydrocarbon fuels (diesel and gasoline), using a cascade strategy to achieve the progressive removal of oxygen from biomass, allowing the control of reactivity and facilitating the separation of products.

The project will ultimately provide data in community-defined formats that will be made available to researchers in a high-performance computing environment and archived for public use. Compared to conventional electricity generation and transmission, CHP captures the otherwise wasted heat and makes it available for useful application.

He was formerly with the University of Wisconsin and Rockwell International, and holds a Ph.D. To ignore this potential is wasteful and foolish. It is wasteful and destructive to be burning this versatile molecule; we must stop. There are trucks and buses being converted commercially today.
