The researchers at the University’s Manchester Institute of Biotechnology (MIB) collaborated with their colleagues at Imperial College London and University of Turku to develop a synthetic pathway that enables the renewable biosynthesis of propane. Last year, a […]

The goal of hydrogen power is to eliminate carbon dioxide from the equation, but this has proven difficult. The never ending […]

Although they have their qualification and role in the ecosystem, we seem to hate viruses and only associate them will our colds, hepatitis, and other illnesses. Not for a moment we could think of them as of a power source.

Likewise, genetic engineering is blamed to have ruined the natural evolution path of the affected plants or animals. Now, genetic engineering is being used to extract energy for us, in the form of hydrogen.
