NREL/UGA study finds microbial enzyme digests cellulose ~2x fast as current leading commercial cellulase; implications for biofuels cost

Green Car Congress

NREL researchers put CelA to the test and found that it produced more sugars than the most abundant cellulase in the leading commercial mixtures, Cel7A, when acting on Avicel, which is an industry standard to test cellulose degradation. This discovery could reshape the landscape of commercial cellulase cocktail design.

Georgia Tech prototype triboelectric nanogenerator could extract energy from ocean waves

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Georgia Tech have developed an inexpensive and simple prototype of a triboelectric nanogenerator that could be used to produce energy from ocean waves by making use of contact electrification between a patterned plastic nanoarray and water. A report on their work is published in the journal Angewandte Chemie.
