| Betting on a Biofuel
The Wall Street Journal June 30, 2008 -- With ethanol looking less and less like the ideal alternative to fossil fuels, companies are rushing to come up with better options, such as biobutanol. WUSTL chemical engineering professor Lars Angenent is experimenting with using corn waste from ethanol plants to make butanol. |
| New study advances method to make energy from farm waste
Associated Press and 81 others April 17, 2008 -- WUSTL engineers, including WUSTL chemical engineering professor Muthanna Al-Dahhan, using imaging technology have found that vigorous mixing helps microorganisms turn farm waste into alternative energy. The goal is to produce a simple method that farmers can use to treat their waste and generate energy. |
| Group says it has mapped corn genome
Associated Press and 76 others Feb. 26, 2008 -- Richard Wilson, director of WUSTL's Genome Sequencing Center, comments on the successful mapping of the corn genome. |
| Eat less for a youthful heart
Hindustan Times (India) and 5 others Jan. 11, 2008 -- WUSTL medical school scientists examined a group of healthy, overweight but not obese, middle-aged men and women and found that a yearlong regimen of either calorie restriction or exercise increase had positive effects on their heart function. WUSTL professor and study senior author Sandor Kovacs comments. |
| Technique controls nanoparticle size, creates large numbers
Nanotechnology Now online and 2 others Dec. 4, 2007 -- WUSTL chemical engineering professor Pratim Biswas has a method that controls the size of the nanoparticles he makes, opening up possibilities for new nanotechnology applications and different techniques. Biswas described the technique and his work in a recent issue of Nanotechnology. He is currently collaborating with WUSTL radiology professor Sam Achilefu, who is working to selectively deliver chemotherapy drugs in cancer patients. |
