Heliotrope – Universal Smart Window
A window coating developed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) elevates smart windows to their smartest level yet. Available coating products block sunlight and some solar heat load to reduce energy use in buildings. However, they do not block infrared light, which also adds heat to conditioned spaces. Researchers led by Delia Milliron in LBNL’s Materials … [Read more...] about Heliotrope – Universal Smart Window
CinderBio – Industrial Enzymes from Nature
The scientific concept that microbes living in extreme temperatures or toxic conditions could yield more effective industrial enzymes has moved several steps closer to reality. Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) have produced enzymes from these microbes, called extremophiles, that can replace chemicals used in biofuel production, paper pulping … [Read more...] about CinderBio – Industrial Enzymes from Nature
