UGA study finds that regular exercise plays a consistent and significant role in reducing fatigue, increasing energy
Forget so-called energy drinks. A new analysis by University of Georgia researchers finds overwhelming evidence that regular exercise plays a significant role in increasing energy levels and reducing fatigue.   view more (2006-11-02)

Lower metabolism, eating behavior possibly explain the cause of overweight in narcolepsy
A lower metabolism, as well as slight changes in eating behavior, could explain the positive energy balance leading to being overweight in narcolepsy.   view more (2007-10-01)

NMSU/Wake Forest solar breakthrough will help spur viability of alternative energy
Imagine being able to paint your roof with enough alternative energy to heat and cool your home. What if soldiers in the field could carry an energy source in a roll of plastic wrap in their backpacks?   view more (2005-10-10)

Germans and Brits wash up economically
Wastefulness already starts in the sink at home. Often enough, more than ten times the amount of water and energy is used in doing the washing-up than the resource-friendly economy dish-washer requires - without any significantly better effect being achieved. These are the initial results of a... view more (2002-11-28)

Fuel from food waste: bacteria provide power
Researchers have combined the efforts of two kinds of bacteria to produce hydrogen in a bioreactor, with the product from one providing food for the other.   view more (2008-07-17)

Energy drinks may pose risks for people with high blood pressure, heart disease
Downing an "energy drink" may boost blood pressure as well as energy, researchers said in a small study presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2007.   view more (2007-11-06)

Energy Boost For Fatigued Cancer Patients
SWALLOWING a specially designed energy drink each day could boost cancer patients left exhausted by chemotherapy, according to research published in the British Journal of Cancer today* (Tuesday). Fatigue is one of the most common side effects of treatment for cancer, robbing patients of the energy... view more (2002-06-11)

High blood pressure, low energy -- a recipe for heart failure
Many people with long-standing high blood pressure develop heart failure. But some don't. Daniel P. Kelly, M.D., and colleagues at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and other institutions are trying to figure out what could explain that difference.   view more (2007-08-10)

UK Fusion Research awarded £48M grant from EPSRC
UKAEA Culham Division has just received the largest grant ever awarded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). The grant of £48M will fund the UK fusion research programme for a period of four years, commencing 1 April 2004. UKAEA Culham is one of the world's... view more (2004-02-16)

Multiple low-energy plasma skin treatments may help diminish facial wrinkles
A study involving eight patients suggests that multiple low-energy treatments with a plasma skin regeneration tool may help to reduce wrinkles and improve facial appearance with minimal healing time.   view more (2007-02-20)

Biodiesel for automotion
The GAIKER Technological centre is designing a project, together with the Catalysis and Petrochemical Institute of the CSIC, The Bilbao School of Industrial Engineers and the University of Malaga, aimed at obtaining biofuels from a renewable source of energy. To this end, an attempt to develop a... view more (2005-01-20)

Physicists find evidence for highest energy photons ever detected from Milky Way's equator
Physicists at nearly a dozen research institutions, including New York University, have discovered evidence for very high energy gamma rays emitting from the Milky Way, marking the highest energies ever detected from the galactic equator.   view more (2005-12-14)

Universe's oldest objects emerge from the background
The deepest reaches of space are permeated by a cloak of infrared radiation, an uneven energy swath generated by long-dead objects from the early universe.   view more (2006-12-20)

Simulations predict savings from more airtight buildings
U.S. commercial building owners could save substantially on annual heating and cooling energy costs by improving airtightness of their buildings' envelope, according to a recent National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) study.   view more (2005-10-10)

Abandoned farmlands are key to sustainable bioenergy
Biofuels can be a sustainable part of the world's energy future, especially if bioenergy agriculture is developed on currently abandoned or degraded agricultural lands, report scientists from the Carnegie Institution and Stanford University.   view more (2008-06-24)

UCSD study clarifies insulin's role in blocking release of energy in patients with type II diabetes
Chronically high levels of insulin, as is found in many people with obesity and Type II diabetes, may block specific hormones that trigger energy release into the body.   view more (2005-09-23)

NASA's Chandra finds black holes are 'green'
Black holes are the most fuel efficient engines in the Universe, according to a new study using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory.   view more (2006-04-25)

Caffeine experts at Johns Hopkins call for warning labels for energy drinks
Johns Hopkins scientists who have spent decades researching the effects of caffeine report that a slew of caffeinated energy drinks now on the market should carry prominent labels that note caffeine doses and warn of potential health risks for consumers.   view more (2008-09-24)

Making Wind Power More Efficient
A University of Ulster researcher has come up with a new method, using Artificial Intelligence techniques, to forecast wind energy more accurately than ever before. Predicting how fast the wind will blow has always been a major problem for wind farm operators. It is essential that they have some... view more (2003-06-10)

US style blackouts likely in UK
Chemical engineers have issued a stark warning that power cuts on a scale being experienced in the USA and Canada could hit the UK unless the government rethinks its energy policy. David White, a member of the Parliamentary Group for Energy Studies and Energy Affairs spokesman for the IChemE has... view more (2003-08-15)

Press Invitation: The Bonn Agreement on the Kyoto Protocol - examining the outcomes
Meeting held by Royal Institute of International Affairs' Energy & Environment Programme 10.00 - 11.30am, on Wednesday 8 August at Chatham House, 10 St. James's Square, London In a presentation to examine the outcome of the Bonn negotiations on the Kyoto Protocol, to follow Henry Derwent... view more (2001-08-06)

New phenomenon in physics discovered on illumination of metal surfaces
Scientific research at the Centre of the Physics of Materials, a mixed venture of the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) and the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) in Donostia-San Sebastian, has enabled the discovery of a new physical phenomenon that affects the surfaces of... view more (2007-07-12)

Estrogen curbs appetite in same way as the hormone leptin
Estrogen regulates the brain's energy metabolism in the same way as the hormone leptin, leading the way to a viable approach to tackling obesity in people resistant to leptin.   view more (2007-01-04)

Methane bacteria possess pressure valve
Microbiologists from the University of Nijmegen have discovered that a methane-forming archaeabacterium sometimes deliberately allows hydrogen ions to leak out of its cell. At high hydrogen concentrations in particular, the cell membrane works as a sort of pressure valve. The waste of energy seems... view more (2002-10-24)
