W.H. Dow Professor at M.I.T, Gregory Stephanopoulos, has been awarded a prestigious 2011 Eni Award for his groundbreaking research on modifying the genetic structure of bacteria with the goal of making them more efficient for transforming renewable raw materials. An example would be the transformation of domestic waste into hydrocarbons.
Last in the series, we bring you the final answers to readers' questions about Fukushima and nuclear energy, from AIChE's Nuclear Engineering Division (NED).
Ah, the interview process. For many, it's a cause of nervous nail-biting and sleepless nights, but it doesn't have to be that way. Here's a recent (2010) graduate's guide to landing that elusive job.
Researchers at Brown University have used carbon nanotubes to create a patch that can regenerate heart tissue in the lab, according to a report in Technology Review. The patch is formed of chains of carbon atoms that fold onto themselves to create a tube that is capable of conducting electricity and mimics the surface of natural tissue.
Today, the first answers to the questions you asked about Fukushima and nuclear energy. Responses are provided by the nuclear experts at AIChE's Nuclear Engineering Division (NED).
This series highlights the learning that new ChE professionals need that isn’t taught in school.
