How do you get the next generation excited about studying STEM subjects? Science, technology, engineering and mathematics are challenging fields to master – but they are also some of the most exciting, hands-on...
We didn’t want this year’s STEM students to miss out on the chance to share their hard work and ideas – so to make sure as many as possible could still participate, we arranged a virtual event.
Science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) are skills at the heart of innovation. And few challenges require innovation as much as the dual challenge of providing the energy people need to improve...
Scientists from Synthetic Genomics, Inc. (SGI) and ExxonMobil have developed a strain of algae able to convert carbon into a record amount of energy-rich fat, which can then be processed into biodiesel.
Diesel fuel refined from algae oils could transform how we power everything from automobiles to jet planes. The stuff is not only energy-rich—it also emits significantly fewer greenhouse gases than most...
