  • Biofuel Strong Enough to Power Jets
    Thanks to scientists harnessing the power of chemistry, you may one day soon fly in a plane fueled by plants. An article published in the journal Nature last week describes a new technique developed by researchers at UC Berkeley that can create biofuels powerful enough to be used as jet fuel. Created using bacterial fermentation and chemical catalysis, the amped up biofuel is ten times more powerful, and it can serve as a viable power source for large industrial vehicles and airplanes....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/new-chemical-process-produces-biofuel-strong-enough-to-power-jets/'>READ ARTICLE</a>
