By Tina Hilding, Voiland College of Engineering & Architecture PULLMAN, Wash. – Washington State University researchers have determined a key step in improving solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), a promising clean energy technology that has struggled to gain wide acceptance in the marketplace.
April 19: Symposium addresses future hydrogen economy
PULLMAN, Wash. – Academic, industry and government researchers from around the West will gather at Washington State University on Tuesday, April 19, to glimpse a hydrogen-powered future.
WSU researchers develop fuel cells for increased airplane efficiency
PULLMAN, Wash.– Washington State University researchers have developed the first fuel cell that can directly convert fuels, such as jet fuel or gasoline, to electricity, providing a dramatically more energy-efficient way to create electric power for planes or cars.
Video: Light up your holidays with microbial fuel cell
PULLMAN, Wash. – Under a tiny Christmas tree in an engineering building on the Washington State University campus sits a questionable “gift” – a muddy bucket of water with a “Happy Holidays” greeting.
Microbes generate electricity in Dana Hall outreach
PULLMAN, Wash. – In a hallway in a building at the engineering end of campus, a string of small, red LED lights blink unobtrusively, powered by a bucket of muddy water. Dedicated crews of microscopic bacteria in the mud generate electricity by doing what bacteria do best: eating. “The microbes eat […]
