Researchers boost production of biofuel that could replace gasoline
(21 Aug 2009)
Engineers at Ohio State University have found a way to double the production of the biofuel butanol, which might someday replace gasoline in automobiles.The process improves on the conventional method for brewing butanol in a bacterial fermentation ...

New way to make sensors that detect toxic chemicals
(10 Jul 2009)
Ohio State University researchers have developed a new method for making extremely pure, very small metal-oxide nanoparticles.They are using this simple, fast, and low-temperature process to make materials for gas sensors that detect toxic ...

Researchers find better way to manufacture fast computer chips
(06 Apr 2009)
Engineers at Ohio State University are developing a technique for mass producing computer chips made from the same material found in pencils.Experts believe that graphene -- the sheet-like form of carbon found in graphite pencils -- holds the key to ...

To make better MRI images, let the atoms spin out of control
(28 Nov 2008)
Scientists in the USA and in France have made a new theoretical advance in atomic behavior that could lead to sharper magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pictures. The discovery could one day help enable the development of portable MRI machines. In the ...

Future Computer: Atom Packed in an "Egg Carton" of Light?
(29 Apr 2005)
Scientists at Ohio State University have taken a step toward the development of powerful new computers -- by making tiny holes that contain nothing at all. The holes -- dark spots in an egg carton-shaped surface of laser light -- could one day ...

Environmentally safer catalyst proves more active in hydrogen production
(18 Mar 2005)
Ohio State University engineers have developed a chemical catalyst that increases hydrogen production without using a toxic metal common to other catalysts. Though the new catalyst is still in the early stages of testing, it could represent an ...
