Climate change -- research suggests it is not a swindle
New research has dealt a blow to the skeptics who argue that climate change is all due to cosmic rays rather than to man-made greenhouse gases. The new evidence shows no reliable connection between the cosmic ray intensity and cloud cover.   view more (2008-04-03)

Major progress in technology needed for 25 percent renewable energy use to be affordable

K-State contributions to red flour beetle genome sequencing featured in March 27 issue of Nature
Most of us hate to find the red flour beetle living happily in the flour sack in our pantries. But for several scientists at Kansas State University, and many others throughout the world, this pest of stored grain and grain products is the best organism for studying genetics.   view more (2008-03-24)

Sandia applies a surety approach in creating solutions to energy challenges
With concerns that energy use will rapidly increase over the next several years while fossil fuels diminish, Sandia National Laboratories is looking at a new way to meet growing energy challenges—energy surety.   view more (2006-07-12)

Deep in the ocean, a clam that acts like a plant
How does life survive in the black depths of the ocean? At the surface, sunlight allows green plants to "fix" carbon from the air to build their bodies.   view more (2007-02-21)

Pitt researchers create new form of matter

Electricity and gas consumption at a glance
People who want to save energy should always keep an eye on their consumption. The EWE Box offers customers a neat solution: It enables private households to monitor their electricity and gas consumption whenever they want - and save costs thanks to new pricing models.   view more (2008-04-09)

Avenir Energie's Geopack pumps up the energy
Geopack, the latest geothermal heating system from Avenir Energie, is on show at Frankfurt's ISH Trade Fair from 15 to 19 March 2005. Designed to meet all the heating needs of a typical domestic house or similar building, Geopack captures the free and unlimited energy that naturally exists in the... view more (2005-02-23)

Think solar not nuclear for the energy of the future, say scientists
Solar rather than nuclear energy should be the UK government's priority in planning future energy production, according to scientists writing today in the journal Nature Materials.   view more (2006-03-01)

The mechanics of foot travel
Despite having the bones and muscles to perform a variety of gaits, human beings have developed an overwhelming preference for just two: walking and running.   view more (2005-09-19)

University Scientists Will Not See the Eclipse...At Least, Not With Their Eyes!
The sun constantly radiates energy across the spectrum of frequencies from radio, through heat, to visible light and beyond. During the period of totality, only radiation present in the sun's annular corona will be detectable, with energy directly radiated from the sun being masked by the moon.   view more (1999-08-06)

Drying wood with steam
Large quantities of wood chips are dried for the production of chip-board. Modifications to a widely implemented large-scale industrial process lead to enormous savings: 15 percent less heat energy is required and emissions are markedly reduced.   view more (2002-02-01)

Best settings for biphasic automated defibrillators investigated
As the use of automated external defibrillation (AED) devices outside of hospital settings increases, the scientific medical community has not agreed on the optimal energy levels for initial and subsequent biphasic shocks.   view more (2006-05-18)

Something new under the Sun
That plants grow better if grown in a greenhouse in the correct climate is nothing new. Dutch researcher Rachel van Ooteghem has designed a control system for an improved solar greenhouse that yields more.   view more (2007-01-31)

Do smelly fish make better friends?
How do you win friends and influence people? Pay for dinner at a restaurant? Adopt a considerate approach to colleagues? Try an expensive new perfume? It seems that in the fish world making friends depends on how smelly you are! In a report to be published in May in Animal Behaviour, researchers at... view more (2000-04-03)

Camcorder fueled with hydrogen
Peep! "Please switch off. Power supply almost exhausted." Every day millions of mobile phone, palmtop, notebook, portable CD player and camcorder users are driven to fury by this warning. Without a power source, this wonderful new wealth of modern electronics is of no use at all. Yet the mobile and... view more (2001-04-19)

Low-intensity exercise reduces fatigue symptoms by 65 percent, study finds
Sedentary people who regularly complain of fatigue can increase their energy levels by 20 percent and decrease their fatigue by 65 percent by engaging in regular, low intensity exercise, according to a new University of Georgia study.   view more (2008-02-29)

How the atmospheres of Mars and Venus are affected by carbon monoxide
Modelling of the Earth's atmosphere has acquired economic importance due to its use in the prediction of ozone depletion and in measuring the impact of global warming.   view more (2008-02-26)

Researchers discover gene mutation thought to control energy levels
This study focused on the gene for AMPK (adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase), which controls the amount of energy in our cells by becoming active when fuel stores start to deplete, such as during exercise.   view more (2007-09-19)

Defective movement of cell's power plants implicated in commom inherited neurological disorder
Contrary to previous thinking, the inefficient movement of cell's "power plants" -- the mitochondria -- within a cell, rather than their low energy production, may be a contributing factor in the development of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT), new research shows.   view more (2007-01-17)

Penn study finds pro-death proteins required to regulate healthy immune function
