Bruce Logan, Kappe professor of environmental engineering, was named one of the winners of the Popular Mechanics 2005 Breakthrough Award at a ceremony recently in New York City.

He is being honored for his work with microbial fuel cells, an environmentally friendly method of producing electricity or hydrogen. In addition to producing energy, Logan's method also cleans the wastewater. The award-winners and their work will be featured in the magazine's November issue.

Logan is one of only eight individuals to receive the inaugural award from the magazine.
