Engineers at the University of Alberta have created a wind energy generator that they hope people will one day be able to use to power their own homes.   view more (2005-07-19)

'Missing Beach' Returns to Donegal
The sandy beach at Five-Finger Strand in Donegal has returned as predicted by University of Ulster researchers. The beach, which had lost its sand and for the past several years was an unattractive gravely surface, has now reverted to its former glory. A study, undertaken by the University's... view more (2004-02-19)

University of Nevada professor demonstrates new hydrogen fuel system
Northern Nevada energy consumers can be excused if they have a sense of "sticker shock" when their power bills come due following the holiday season. Or, that they have a feeling of powerlessness as the price of gasoline climbs to $3 per gallon.   view more (2007-02-23)

Genetic hearing loss may be reversible without gene therapy
Northern Nevada energy consumers can be excused if they have a sense of "sticker shock" when their power bills come due following the holiday season. Or, that they have a feeling of powerlessness as the price of gasoline climbs to $3 per gallon.   view more (2007-02-23)

Philips patents TU Eindhoven's energy return system
An increasing number of private individuals supply their excess energy, from external energy sources (windmills and solar cells), to the electricity grid and only take energy from the grid when necessary.   view more (2008-01-25)

Renewable Energy Reviewed by Chemistry & Industry - Special Issue Considers the Future of Power
Coinciding with the UK government’s energy review, the latest issue of Chemistry & Industry magazine (18 February 2002) evaluates the current and future status of renewable energy. Wind, landfill gas, biomass, solar, wave energy and fuel cells are covered.   view more (2002-02-14)

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)

Cooling milk using sun energy
The company Tarre of Navarre, Basque Country, in collaboration with the Public University of Navarre has built a prototype for cooling milk. This cooling and maintenance system takes the energy directly from a photovoltaic system and so there is no need to use batteries. The prototype integrates... view more (2002-12-03)

Workshop Suggests Turning Problems into Biofuels
The twin problems of too much feedlot manure and too many mesquite trees could be solved by converting them into renewable bioenergy products, Texas A&M University System agricultural researchers, engineers and commercialization experts suggested Friday.   view more (2006-09-05)

Labs on a chip
The American bio-technology company, WaferGen, is planning to produce three micro laboratories on three different sensor chips, which were developed in Delft. To this end the company will acquire licences to for the patented design. The contracts will be signed by representatives of WaferGen and by... view more (2004-06-03)

Liftoff for Aurora: Europe's first steps to Mars, the Moon and beyond
ESA PR 64-2002. Step by step, the European Space Agency's new Aurora space exploration programme is beginning to take shape. This ambitious programme, started by ESA in January 2002, sets out a strategy over the next 30 years for Europe's robotic and human exploration of Mars, the Moon, and even... view more (2002-10-11)

US committee recommends participation in the ITER project
The Fusion Energy Sciences Advisory Committee (FESAC) recommends in a recent report the return of the USA as a full partner to the international ITER cooperation, with an annual financial contribution to the project of 100 million US dollars. The ITER experimental fusion reactor is being jointly... view more (2002-09-24)

Men and women recover differently after surgery
Women emerge more quickly than men from general anaesthesia, but have a slower return to former health after surgery, according to a study in this week's BMJ. Researchers at Alfred Hospital in Australia studied 241 men and 222 women for three days after undergoing surgery to identify differences in... view more (2001-03-21)

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)

Dutch government could do more to promote sustainable energy
Dutch researcher Simona Negro discovered that seven key factors exert a major influence on the success or failure of sustainable energy in the Netherlands.   view more (2007-02-16)

Automating heating and ventilation
Homeowners looking to save heating costs can find themselves in a quandary. If they apply too much insulation to the outside walls and install airtight windows, the inflow of fresh air from outside is reduced. To prevent stale and humid air from causing mold to grow, approximately half of the air... view more (2003-01-23)

Stress not linked to breast cancer relapse
Women with breast cancer need not fear that stressful experiences in life will bring about the return of their disease, conclude researchers in this week’s BMJ.   view more (2002-06-12)

SARS could very well return this autumn, leading experts predict

New research to run cars on flower power
Will the oilfields of the future be full of sunflowers? They could be if Leeds fuel and energy researchers succeed in producing hydrogen from sunflower oil. Hydrogen is seen as the fuel of the future - able to create electricity with no harmful emissions - to power everything from cars, portable... view more (2002-06-13)

Does life exist on other planets?
Recent research argues that an atmosphere rich in oxygen is the most likely source of energy for complex life to exist anywhere in the Universe, thereby limiting the number of places life may exist.   view more (2005-06-20)

Technique creates metal memory and could lead to vanishing dents
Crumpled kitchen foil that lays flat for reuse. Bent bumpers that straighten overnight. Dents in car doors that disappear when heated with a hairdryer. These and other physical feats may become possible with a technique to make memory metals discovered by researchers at the University of Illinois.   view more (2007-03-30)

Mars Sample Return: bridging robotic and human exploration
The first robotic mission to return samples to Earth from Mars took a further step toward realisation with the recent publication of a mission design report by the iMARS Working Group. The report defines key elements of the future internationally-funded mission involving the cooperation of ESA,... view more (2008-07-23)
