The trouble with hybrids
Hybrid electric vehicles that run on both conventional gasoline and stored electricity can be no more than a stop gap until more sustainable technology is developed, according to researchers in France. view more (2008-02-07)
RAND paper finds diesel, hybrid vehicles can provide more societal benefits than gas-powered autos
Cars and light trucks powered by advanced diesel technology or hybrid technology can provide larger societal benefits than traditional gasoline-powered automobiles, according to a RAND Corporation working paper presented today. view more (2007-11-09)
Hybrid coatings increase hardness of plastic and allow properties to be tailored
Increasing the surface hardness of many materials opens them up for use in a wide variety of new applications. These new hybrid materials could be used in areas like anticorrosion coatings for metals, scratch and abrasion resistant coatings for plastics, antistatic films plus colour decorative coatings for glasses and plastics. view more (2006-05-15)
Treating sleep disorders would reduce risk of serious motor vehicle crashes
Sleep related accidents comprise 15-20% of all motor vehicle crashes, resulting in thousands of serious injuries and death. Yet a study published in Thorax confirms that treatment of patients with sleep apnoea would reduce their risk of serious motor vehicle crashes to a rate similar to the general driving population. Over 200 patients with... view more... (2001-06-14)

New public-private hybrid rice group aims to raise rice yields in the tropics
A new international research initiative, linking the private and public sectors for the first time and launched on November 9 at the 2007 Asian Seed Congress, aims to boost the research and development of hybrid rice for the tropics. view more (2007-11-12)
What the heck is it? Consumers can be primed to understand hybrid products
Hybrid products are ubiquitous in today's marketplace: phones with cameras, watch/cameras, MP3 players with GPS systems. How can consumers understand the functions and features of these new products? A new study in the Journal of Consumer Research discovered a technique for helping consumers make sense of the ever-changing product landscape. view more (2009-02-24)
Only 5 years left to deal with to Europe's End of Life Vehicle Directive - UK Vehicle Industry Looks to New German and Spanish Solutions at Special Conference: press invitation
The European End of Life Vehicle Directive has significant implications for all involved in the production, procurement, use and disposal of motor vehicles. Estimates of the cost of this exceed £75 million per annum. The UK government`s decision to make last users fund the cost of ELV processing lasts only to 2007. So there is considerable... view more... (2002-08-23)

Second Cluster pair soar into the skies above Baikonur
At 17.13 local time (13.13 CEST) today, the second pair of Cluster spacecraft lifted off from pad 6 at Baikonur Cosmodrome aboard a Soyuz-Fregat launch vehicle. On a scorching summer afternoon, with temperatures well over 40°C, conditions were perfect for this second act in the Cluster launch drama. Topped by a giant fairing emblazoned with a... view more...
