The Earth as a Battery

Analogies can be highly effective expressions of a point that seems to go missing and/or is very difficult to understand - take the point, for example, that the Earth's resources are indeed exhaustible and need to be conserved, protected, enhanced and replenished: "You can think of the Earth like a battery that has been charged very slowly over billions of years," said the study's lead author, John Schramski, an associate professor in UGA's…

But we are surrounded by smaller steps forward, almost on a daily basis. UGA researchers report today on one small step with major implications: University of Georgia scientists have fabricated what is thought to be the world's first LED that emits warm white light using a single light emitting material…


Microbes move researchers one step closer to biofuels from biomass

We mention this periodically and should be gladdened at every occasion. University researchers and scientists from all over campus, from engineering to genetics, have been working on various aspects of creating renewable fuels for decades.

The single most important barrier to the use…
