The first "Virtual Step Pyramid" is to be used by architects, restorers, and archaeologists as part of efforts to save and restore the Step Pyramid in the face of threats from centuries of erosion and the fragility of the stone and clay body of the pyramid, exposed after the protective outer casing was removed by stone robbers in ancient times.

First 3-D Model of Egypt's Oldest Pyramid

Ancient Egypt Research Associates, Inc., the premier non-profit organization conducting original archaeological research and educational programs in Egypt, has collaborated with Egyptian and Japanese research and technology teams to generate the first 3-D model of Egypt's oldest pyramid, the Djoser Step Pyramid in Saqqara.

Researchers have developed the first detailed chemical analysis revealing what processing is needed to transform pig manure derived 'crude oil' into fuel for vehicles or heating. Mass production of this type of biofuel could help consume a waste product overflowing at U.S. farms, but it will require a lot of refining.

Crude "Oil" from Pig Manure

After a close examination of crude oil made from pig manure, chemists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are certain about a number of things.

Biofuels based on renewable sources are increasingly popular as a way to reduce fossil fuel dependence and limit greenhouse gas emissions, but new research shows that some of the most popular current biofuel stocks might have exactly the opposite impacts than intended.

Some Biofuels Might Do More Harm than Good to the Environment

Biofuels based on ethanol, vegetable oil and other renewable sources are increasingly popular with government and environmentalists as a way to reduce fossil fuel dependence and limit greenhouse gas emissions.

Jonathan Sawyer spent $30 000 - and voided the warranty - to add a plug to his Prius hybrid.

Plugging Away in a Prius

Jonathan Sawyer wants to do his part for the environment--and then some. His roof is covered with solar panels, and he has a wind turbine as well. A decade ago he was one of the few people to lease a General Motors EV1, even though GM didn't sell them in Colorado, where Sawyer lives. Later, he bought an all-electric Toyota, the RAV4 EV. So it should come as no surprise that for Sawyer an off-the-line Prius hybrid isn't quite green enough. What he did about it, though, was remarkable.

A new processes promises to produce billions of gallons of ethanol from plant based garbage, from brewer's mash to paper trash.

Trash Today, Ethanol Tomorrow

University of Maryland research that started with bacteria from the Chesapeake Bay has led to a process that may be able to convert large volumes of all kinds of plant products, from leftover brewer’s mash to paper trash, into ethanol and other biofuel alternatives to gasoline.

Researchers have developed a low-cost material for capturing carbon dioxide . Produced with a simple one-step chemical process, the material has a high capacity for absorbing carbon dioxide – and can be reused many times.

Reusable Material May Facilitate Carbon Dioxide Capture

Researchers have developed a new, low-cost material for capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the smokestacks of coal-fired power plants and other generators of the greenhouse gas. Produced with a simple one-step chemical process, the new material has a high capacity for absorbing carbon dioxide – and can be reused many times.

New research suggests that many biofuel blends do not contain the advertised amount of biofuel.

Biofuel Blending is Often Inaccurate

While sampling blended biodiesel fuels purchased from small-scale retailers, researchers at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution found that many of the blends do not contain the advertised amount of biofuel.

Researchers at Georgia Tech have developed a strategy to capture, store and eventually recycle carbon from vehicles. Georgia Tech researchers envision a zero emission car, and a transportation system completely free of fossil fuels.

Strategy Could Lead to Emission-Free Cars

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a strategy to capture, store and eventually recycle carbon from vehicles to prevent the pollutant from finding its way from a car tailpipe into the atmosphere. Georgia Tech researchers envision a zero emission car, and a transportation system completely free of fossil fuels.

Twenty-four 2.5 megawatt wind turbine generators will produce enough carbon-free electricity to power 24,000 homes.

Ground Broken on Large Wind Project in Texas

British Petroleum broke ground Wednesday on its first wind project in Texas. The project, named Silver Star I, is located 80 miles southwest of the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area. The 60 megawatt (MW), $100 million project is owned 85% by BP Alternative Energy and 15% by Clipper Windpower.

Evidently, researchers have found a way for you to become Spiderman - or at least act lile him. Our question is: Do you really want to?

Towards a Spiderman Suit

IOP Publishing has announced the online publication of “Towards a Spiderman suit: large invisible cables and self-cleaning releasable superadhesive materials” in Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter. The article states that physicists have found the formula for a Spiderman suit that will allow humans to stick to surfaces using the natural form of adhesion used by spiders and geckos.
