#On the road to ANG vehicles: Berkeley Lab researchers find a better way to store natural gas as a transportation fuel Researchers with the U s. Department of energy (DOE)' s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have developed a variety
While compressed natural gas-fueled vehicles are already on the road, the widespread use of natural gas as a transportation fuel has been hampered by cumbersome and expensive onboard gas storage tanks and the cost of dispensing compressed natural gas to vehicles.
The storage issue is especially keen for light-duty vehicles such as cars, in which the space available for onboard fuel storage is limited.
ANG has the potential to store high densities of methane within a porous material at ambient temperature and moderate pressures

It also may be possible to create an active camouflage on the exterior of vehicles that would change color to better match the surrounding environment.

The European union-funded Autonomous vehicle Emergency Recovery Tool (AVERT) project is intended a system to remove suspicious vehicles where there is concern over potential threats like IEDS,
but the vehicle can't be accessed safely by other bomb disposal tools. AVERT consists of a single deployment unit and four autonomous robot bogies
AVERT's deployment unit can scan locations of a targeted vehicle using laser-based LIDAR,
It can even detect the angle of the wheels on the vehicle in question to help figure out the best way to remove it.
The bogies then maneuver themselves in concert beneath the wheels of the target vehicle, and use their onboard intelligence to slowly move the vehicle to a safe location.
The biggest advantage of AVERT is that it's largely autonomous. While it can be overridden by a remote operator if necessary

but for the Univ. of Cincinnati (UC)' s Yoonjee Park, assistant professor in the College of Engineering and Applied science biomedical engineering professor, these words are central to every conversation relating to her cutting edge research on drug delivery vehicles.
The area in which Park has established herself as an expert is the field of study related to the creation and monitoring of delivery vehicles that carry medicine to specific locations within the body.
"Usually I use nanoparticles for drug delivery vehicles, and we can attach image and contrast agents to the nanoparticle to track the particle.
Using vehicles made with perfluorocarbons, Park and Lin have created bio-safe, durable, reliable vehicles that can be inserted into the discs

Her Phd at Purdue University and her research at Boston's Massachusetts institute of technology were dedicated both to studying particle stabilization to avoid clogging arteries with the nanoparticles and drug delivery vehicles;
creating a vehicle that could be programmed to travel to specific destinations; tracking this vehicle with medical imaging;
and learning how drugs could be released time at the proper time. With the support of the Univ. of Cincinnati behind her efforts, Park hopes to be able to overcome the barriers that have slowed others,
Already envisaged scenarios include its use as fuel for vehicles or for producing carbon-based energy carriers.
or cold temperatures of today compressed or liquefied natural gas vehicles. Natural gas is cleaner-burning than gasoline,
and today there are more than 150,000 compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles on the road in the U s, . most of them trucks and buses. But until manufacturers can find a way to pack more methane into a tank at lower pressures and temperatures,
whereas compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles compress natural gas into an empty tank under 250 atmospheres (3, 600 psi).
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) vehicles operate at lower pressures but require significant insulation in the tank system to maintain the natural gas at minus-162 degrees Celsius (minus-260 degrees Fahrenheit)
Next-gen NG vehicles Long said that next-generation natural gas vehicles will require a material that binds the methane and packs it more densely into the fuel tank, providing a larger driving range.
Ford is a leader in CNG/propane-prepped vehicles with more than 57,000 sold in the U s. since 2009, more than all other major U s. automakers combined.
