ScienceDaily: Petroleum NewsEdible nanostructures: Compounds made from renewable materials could be used ...
3 Sep 2010 at 12:00am
Sugar, salt, alcohol and a little serendipity led researchers to discover a new class of nanostructures that could be used for gas storage and food and medical technologies. And the compounds are edible. The porous crystals are the first known all-natural metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that are simple to make. Most other MOFs are made from petroleum-based ingredients, but the new MOFs you can pop into your mouth and eat, and the researchers have.

Chemists discover method to create high-value chemicals from biomass
1 Sep 2010 at 10:00pm
Chemist Walter Trahanovsky was trying to produce sugar derivatives from biomass using high-temperature chemistry. He was surprised when his research also produced significant yields of high-value chemicals.
Fuel-efficiency formula needs cars wired with better brainpower, less vroom
1 Sep 2010 at 12:00am
A researcher says it's possible to triple fuel economy in gasoline-powered cars by 2035, but it'll mean getting our automotive kicks from smart electronic technology and other forms of virtual performance rather than horsepower.
