The combustion of biomass is a major source of atmospheric trace gases and
aerosols. Regional- and global-scale models of atmospheric chemistry and climate
take estimates for these emissions and arbitrarily "mix" them into grid boxes...

MIT engineers have created a kind of beltway that allows for the rapid
transit of electrical energy through a well-known battery material, an advance
that could usher in smaller, lighter batteries -- for cell phones and other
devices -- that...

The answer to the looming fuel crisis in the 21st century may be found by
thinking small, microscopic in fact. Microscopic organisms from bacteria and
cyanobacteria, to fungi and microalgae, are biological factories that are
proving to be...

Abstract:
The ultimate electronic energy-storage device would store plenty of energy
but also charge up rapidly and provide powerful bursts when needed. Sadly,
today's devices can only do one or the other: capacitors provide...
