Stacked end-to-end, 250 billion of Victor Lin’s nanospheres would be only 1 m long. But they might revolutionize biodiesel production, making it cheaper, faster, and less toxic. The technology should ...

UC Santa Cruz chemists have discovered a new way to produce biodiesel from waste oil that both simplifies the process and requires relatively mild heat. This discovery has the potential to make the ...

Scientists create biodiesel with electrocatalysis and bioconversion. Vehicles fueled by diesel lead to substantial carbon emissions that are challenging to decarbonize. In 2022, diesel fuel use made ...

However, biofuel production remains complex and costly, with efficiency challenges that limit its widespread adoption. To address these issues, experts are turning to nanotechnology to improve ...

Biodiesel is diesel fuel made from biomass rather than petroleum (petrodiesel). It’s used primarily in transportation, but it can also be used for home heating, electricity generation, and other uses.
