Because of the current size of these catalyst particles, about 10 nm, and their tendency to clump together, platinum is not used efficiently. The world's entire annual output of platinum would not meet the demand if fuel cells were used by only 10% of cars produced worldwide. Hydrocarbon Technologies--which is owned by Headwaters, an alternative-energy company based in Draper, Utah--says it has found a way to create nanoscale platinum particles that won't clump together and slow down the process, as current ones do. The new particles are expected to keep fuel cells running...
OPEC has more than fuel cells to worry about from nanotechnology. Last month China's largest coal company licensed U.S. technology that will enable it to build a $2 billion coal-liquefaction plant in Inner Mongolia. The heart of this new technology is a gel-based nanoscale catalyst that improves the efficiency of coal conversion and reduces the cost of producing clean transportation fuels. If the technology lives up to its promise and can economically transform coal into diesel fuel and gasoline, coal-rich countries such as the U.S., China and Germany could depend far less on imported...
Maasdorp was the primary catalyst behind the Crimson’s first half success. The midfielder played a part in all three of the goals, garnering two assists and putting the final one in the net on her own accord. She has played a role in the last four Harvard goals, dating back to the loss to UConn...
