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 leading centres for fusion research, where scientists... view more... (2004-02-16)
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)
Revamped, Renewed, Restarted: Oak Ridge High Flux Isotope reactor back on line
he research reactor at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory is back in action and better than ever. After $70 million in renovations and more than a year of meticulous system checks, ORNL's High Flux Isotope Reactor was restarted this week, taken to 10 percent power, and reached its peak power of 85 megawatts Wednesday. view more (2007-05-18)
Making more efficient fuel cells
Bacteria that generate significant amounts of electricity could be used in microbial fuel cells to provide power in remote environments or to convert waste to electricity. view more (2009-09-08)
Electrical circuit runs entirely off power in trees
You've heard about flower power. What about tree power? It turns out that it's there, in small but measurable quantities. There's enough power in trees for University of Washington researchers to run an electronic circuit. view more (2009-09-09)
Media invitation - Shipshape - in war and peace
There can be few other signals of a nation's intent of action that match the dispatch of the Fleet. It is therefore vital that the Royal Navy is always ready to deploy and, if necessary, to defend Britain's interests, John Coles, Chief Executive of the Warship Support Agency will tell the Royal Academy of Engineering when he gives the Lloyds's... view more...

Brain Blood Flow Gives Clues to Treating Depression
The usefulness of established molecular imaging/nuclear medicine approaches in identifying the "hows" and "whys" of brain dysfunction and its potential in providing immediately useful information in treating depression are emphasized in a study in the August Journal of Nuclear Medicine. view more (2007-08-09)
Only PM Brown can pull down Treasury powerhouse, University of Nottingham professor predicts
A University of Nottingham professor is predicting that the Treasury could face a radical assault on its power if Labour wins a third term in Government. view more (2005-01-27)
More economical and easier to install wind generator: the wind reservoir
Two Basque companies, Enerlim and NECESA, have developed a new wind generator, a wind reservoir to make use of wind energy. This wind reservoir is much lighter than ordinary three-arm wind generators; hence, it is more economical and easier to install. On the other side, the machine is completely modular, as columns, pulleys and plates can be... view more... (2002-03-25)
Diode laser could be vital for safeguarding aircraft
Terrorists can strike anywhere, at any time, and aircraft, both military and civilian, are targets for heat-seeking missiles, one of many tactics in use by groups hostile to the United States. view more (2006-09-01)
Let water power your mobile phone: scientists discover new source of electricity
A new way of generating electricity from flowing water could mean that in the future you will never have to charge up your mobile phone again. Instead of a normal battery, mobile phones could be fitted with a battery that uses water - you just need to pressurise it regularly. This is the first new way of generating electricity discovered in over... view more... (2003-10-13)
Photoelectric cells classified
Currently there is great talk of renewable energies and, amongst these solar energy is highly important. In order to harness and utilise this form of energy there are many technologies available of which one is solar panels. These panels are made up of photoelectric cells (the 80-100 little square units in any one panel). Photoelectric cells are... view more... (2003-01-31)
Shifting the world to 100 percent clean, renewable energy as early as 2030 -- here are the numbers
Most of the technology needed to shift the world from fossil fuel to clean, renewable energy already exists. Implementing that technology requires overcoming obstacles in planning and politics, but doing so could result in a 30 percent decrease in global power demand. view more (2009-10-20)
On the High Horse: Why dominant individuals climb the proverbial ladder
In an attempt to grasp complex concepts, humans have tried to represent abstractions like power and dominance through visually-stimulated metaphors such as pyramids and steeples. view more (2008-04-24)

Cell's 'power plant' genes raise vision disorder risk
Genetic variation in the DNA of mitochondria - the "power plants" of cells - contributes to a person's risk of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD), Vanderbilt investigators report May 7 in the journal PLoS ONE. view more (2008-05-07)
The Azov Sea: Radiation Recedes
Radioactive contamination of the Azov Sea has reached the level which existed before 1986 when the wreck of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant occurred. However, scientists state that regular check-ups of radio-ecological situation in the sea should be continued as the sea can be contaminated for the second time and this can happen even without... view more...

Single spinning nuclei in diamond offer a stable quantum computing building block
Surmounting several distinct hurdles to quantum computing, physicists at Harvard University have found that individual carbon-13 atoms in a diamond lattice can be manipulated with extraordinary precision to create stable quantum mechanical memory and a small quantum processor, also known as a quantum register, operating at room temperature. view more (2007-06-01)
