Grassoline at the pump.
Ju ly 20 09 G et ty Im aG es By now it ought to be clear that the U.S. must get off oil. We can no longer afford the dangers that our dependence on petroleum poses for our national security, our economic security or our environmental security. Yet civilization is not about to stop moving, and so we must invent a new way to power the world’s transportation fleet. Cellulosic biofuels—liquid fuels...
متن کاملCellulosic Nanocomposites: a Review
Because of their wide abundance, their renewable and environmentally benign nature, and their outstanding mechanical properties, a great deal of attention has been paid recently to cellulosic nanofibrillar structures as components in nanocomposites. A first major challenge has been to find efficient ways to liberate cellulosic fibrils from different source materials, including wood, agricultura...
متن کاملPump-Probe Experiments at High Energy Densities Performed at PHELIX
Matter at extremes of density and temperature occurs widely in astrophysical objects such as giant gas planets or highly evolved stars. Accurate modelling of matter at high energy density (HED) is of great importance in understanding the structure and evolution of these objects [1]. Creation of electromagnetic HED plasmas in the laboratory requires very powerful drivers. Intense heavy ion pulse...
متن کاملPyrolytic sugars from cellulosic biomass.
Depolymerization of cellulose offers the prospect of inexpensive sugars from biomass. Breaking the glycosidic bonds of cellulose to liberate glucose has usually been pursued by acid or enzymatic hydrolysis although a purely thermal depolymerization route to sugars is also possible. Fast pyrolysis of pure cellulose yields primarily the anhydrosugar levoglucosan (LG) whereas the presence of natur...
متن کاملPain at the Pump: How Gasoline Prices Affect Automobile Purchasing∗
In this paper we make use of detailed, transaction-level data on automobile purchases and monthly, ZIP-code level data on retail gasoline prices to investigate the effect of fuel prices on four aspects of automobile purchasing in the U.S.: market shares, new car prices, trade-in utilization, and new car inventories. We find statistically and economically significant effects in all four aspects,...
