March 6, 2013 14:00 — 15:00 Eastern The Energy Storage Technology Advancement Partnership project of the Clean Energy States Alliance (CESA) and the Department of Energy is presenting a webinar featuring a case study conducted by Sandia National Laboratory on the Island of Maui and its goals of increasing its renewable energy capacity and the [...]
Sandia Truman Fellow Anne Ruffing (8622) has engineered two strains of cyanobacteria to produce free fatty acids (FFAs), a precursor to liquid fuels, but she also found that the process cuts the bacteria’s production potential. She published her work on one strain, “Physiological effects of free fatty acid production in genetically engineered Synechococcus elongatus PCC [...]
Homogenous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engines use fuel mixed with a substantial amount of excess air or recirculated exhaust gas that is compressed in the combustion chamber until it autoignites. The resulting combustion is a flameless and low-temperature burn that consumes less fuel than traditional spark-ignition internal combustion engines, and therefore, produces less carbon dioxide. [...]
The Sandia-developed technique coats a cell’s insides with a silica solution to form a near-‐perfect replica of its internal structure—simplifying a wide variety of commercial fabrication processes from the nano- to macro-scale. The work, reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, uses the nanoscopic organelles and other tiny components of mammalian cells [...]
