NREL engineer spreads the biodiesel word

A recent trip to the Philippines gave Teresa Alleman, an engineer with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's Center for Transportation Systems and Technologies (CTTS), a unique opportunity to talk to government officials about a project that may one day influence the production of domestic biodiesel.

- Thin-film tech may reduce battery bane The ORNL-developed Thin-Film Array Slide pictured here allows biological samples such as proteins, whole cells or tissue samples to be analyzed in an environment where the samples can retain their native chemical activity. The technology is powered by thin film lithium batteries, the two gray squares on the gold disc shown here. Those toys that Santa left under the tree were great fun as they drained their batteries. Advances in rechargeable thin-film lithium battery technology at DOE's Oak Ridge National Laboratory might one day provide a solution to the dead-battery dilemma. Thin-film lithium batteries last longer, recharge faster and because they are solid are much less prone to leakage, corrosion and freezing. While still years from replacing cheap alkaline batteries in toys, the technology has other potential holiday applications, such as being used for radio frequency identification for holiday packages and "smart card" transactions during holiday spending.
