  • Patent number: 11603587
    Abstract: Aluminum can be used as a fuel source when reacted with water if its native surrounding oxide coating is penetrated with a gallium-based eutectic. When discrete aluminum objects are treated in a heated bath of eutectic, the eutectic penetrates the oxide coating. After the aluminum objects are treated, the aluminum objects can be reacted in a reactor to produce hydrogen which can, for example, react with oxygen in a fuel cell to produce electricity, for use in a variety of applications.

  • Publication number: 20040141955
    Abstract: This invention provides pesticidally effective compositions related to a novel endophytic fungi named Muscodor. Specifically, the invention relates to commercially useful formulations of Muscodor and methods for preparing such formulations. It also provides various synthetic pesticidal mixtures of volatile organic compounds isolatable from Muscodor grown on various substrates. Also provided are methods for inhibiting the growth of organisms, such as microbes, insects, and nematodes by exposing such organisms or the habitats thereof to the above Muscodor-related compositions.
