Undergraduate researcher Raines Lucas applies his knowledge of statistics to environmental problems in the Gibbs and Edwards labs when he's not touring with his band, she's green.

UW–Madison scientists combined machine learning and automated testing to streamline the tedious process of finding the right green solvent for isolating valuable bioproducts.

Eight teams of elementary, middle and high school students from Wisconsin will get to test their clean energy knowledge and engineering skills on the global stage after qualifying to compete in the World KidWind Challenge on March 1. 

University of Wisconsin–Madison scientists used advanced microscopic imaging to better understand the structure and function of these granules and their roles in microbial biology. They found that stunting cell growth caused bacteria to accumulate significantly more PHB and PP concentrated in larger granules, suggesting the organelles play a role in stress response.

Small-scale nuclear reactors, rooftop solar, and the integration of solar energy and agriculture could provide Wisconsin with an array of benefits beyond slowing climate change, while renewable biogas faces significant financial and technical limitations.

Two Wisconsin Energy Institute researchers have been elected to the American Academy of Microbiology.

An associate professor of bacteriology at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, Amador-Noguez uses systems-level analyses – including metabolomics, computational modeling, and genetic engineering – to advance understanding of metabolism in microorganisms capable of producing biofuels.
