ethanol

After two weeks without water, wheat did not survive when soil was pretreated with water (left), but thrived when the soil was pretreated with 3% ethanol (right). The same was true for rice and the model plant Arabidopsis. CREDIT RIKEN

Renewable biofuel production avoids competition with food resources
Stanford scientists Matthew Kanan and Christina Li have created an oxide-derived copper catalyst that converts carbon monoxide to ethanol. The catalyst consists of a continuous network of copper nanocrystals with well-defined grain boundaries. The nanocrystalline network may be critical for producing ethanol, the scientists say.
