Scientists are pushing to see how clean and green a diesel truck engine can be. Researchers have simultaneously cut nitrogen oxide and soot production, reducing pollutants in exhaust emissions to barely measurable levels. Their experimental engine nearly meets stringent requirements set to go into effect in 2014. They've also developed a probe for studying the growth of soot during combustion.
