The US Department of Energy will award some $17 million in research grants to 23 university-led teams aimed at strengthening the research and development capabilities of American universities and colleges to develop the next generation of nuclear energy technologies and upgrade research reactors across the country. Partners include the.

The vehicles and infrastructure being funded include the use of natural and renewable gas, propane, ethanol, biodiesel, electricity, and hybrid technologies. Like the Recovery Act-funded projects, the annual Clean Cities projects include grants for vehicles, infrastructure, and education. Total DOE award: $15,000,000.

Using graphitic carbon as an electrically-conductive binder, the silicon-carbon composites are then self-assembled into rigid spheres that have open, interconnected internal pore channels. Such electrodes will not require polymeric binders and may exhibit enhanced stability, higher electrical conductivity and larger volumetric capacity.

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. Smaller fibers bend more easily than larger crystals and therefore also produce electric charges easily.

Through these processes, fuel cells produce electricity to power electric motors in vehicles and other applications, emitting water as the only by-product. The team found that controlled placement of gold in the core promotes the arrangement of platinum in an optimal surface structure that grants high stability. Lopes, P.P.,

The PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), a subset of the electric car, combines a primary electric motor with a much smaller back-up engine fueled with a hydrocarbon/biofuel mix. (In In this paper PHEV refers solely to the long-range PHEV of 60 miles (100 km) electric-only range.) It is much more than that.
