High calorie diet seems to increase chances of surviving bowel cancer for longer
A high calorie diet seems to increase the chances of surviving bowel cancer for longer, suggests research in Gut. Bowel cancer is one of the most common cancers in the West, and is strongly linked to dietary factors, especially high intakes of red meat, fat, and refined sugars. Survival rates are... view more (2003-05-09)

Hydrogen as an alternative energy to petroleum
The key aspect of the project is the obtaining of metal hydrides with the capacity to "store" the hydrogen used in automotive vehicle fuel batteries.   view more (2004-03-15)

Initial type and frequency of migraine influences women’s stroke risk
The risk of ischaemic stroke is significantly increased in women whose first ever migraines were accompanied by aura, finds research in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry.   view more (2002-11-18)

Hinode reveals new insights about the origin of solar wind
Images from NASA-funded telescopes aboard a Japanese satellite have shed new light about the sun's magnetic field and the origins of solar wind, which disrupts power grids, satellites and communications on Earth.   view more (2007-12-07)

The price paid for higher energy is highly dangerous to teeth
For more than 10 years, energy drinks in the United States have been on the rise, promising consumers more "oomph" in their day.   view more (2008-03-13)

Solar power helps cut electricity bills and reduce fuel poverty
A University of Southampton research project involving rooftop solar photovoltaic panels on housing association properties has helped tenants reduce their bills and learn more about sustainable energy. The new houses in Kyoto Walk and Kyoto Terrace in Havant, have been designed and built by the... view more (2004-06-21)

Sweet fuel supply
A new type of fuel cell powered with glucose derived from biomass is described in the latest issue of the Inderscience Publication International Journal of Global Energy Issues.   view more (2007-11-28)

Nuclear cannibals
Nuclear energy production must increase by more than 10 percent each year from 2010 to 2050 to meet all future energy demands and replace fossil fuels, but this is an unsustainable prospect.   view more (2008-03-05)

Hormone found to decrease appetite and increase activity
New research shows how topping up the levels of a hormone found in the gut could help reduce the appetite and increase activity in overweight and obese people.   view more (2006-04-27)

Why are lions not as big as elephants?
Carnivores are some of the widest ranging terrestrial mammals for their size, and this affects their energy intake and needs.   view more (2007-01-16)

STFC Daresbury Laboratory's ALICE accelerates to 4 million volt milestone
A major milestone has been achieved in the completion of the UK's next-generation particle accelerator, ALICE, which is set to produce an intense beam of light that will revolutionise the way in which accelerator based light source research facilities will be designed in the future.   view more (2008-11-18)

Nanoscience Study Shows That Quantum Dots "Talk"

Electricity grid could become a type of Internet
In the future everyone who is connected to the electricity grid will be able to upload and download packages of electricity to and from this network. At least, that is one of the transformations the electricity grid could undergo.   view more (2007-10-25)

New system for storing lithium-polymer energy
The basque technology centre CIDETEC is working on a project about lithium-polymer energy with the collaboration of the companies CEGASA and ZIGOR.   view more (2002-09-09)

Biodesign's Rittmann offers promising perspectives on society's energy challenge
Perhaps there is no greater societal need for scientific know-how than in finding new ways to meet future energy demands. Skyrocketing gas prices, an uncertain oil supply, increasing demand from around the world, and the looming threat of climate change have made identifying and developing... view more (2008-06-04)

Scientists a step closer to producing fuel from bacteria
Scientists at the University of Sheffield have shown how bacteria could be used as a future fuel. The research, published in the journal Bioinformatics, could have significant implications for the environment and the way we produce sustainable fuels in the future.   view more (2008-08-07)

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)
