Researchers embark on quest to find durable, cost-efficient soy-based material

Efforts to identify greener, more cost-efficient materials to make the polyurethanes used to create foams and plastics has resulted in [...]

Chemical engineering doctoral student, Michael Gordon, assembles a test cell for a convection battery developed in the lab of Professor Galen Suppes. The battery, which uses a pump, supplies nearly six times more energy than traditional batteries used in electric cars, and is less expensive.
