Virtually engineering power plants
Photovoltaic and wind energy plants, hydroelectric power stations and biogas plants supply energy without polluting the environment. However, they are complex to design and maintain. Virtual reality (VR) makes planning and operation easier. view more (2009-07-14)
Underwater wings for tidal power
A NOVEL machine that generates electricity from marine tides will be put to the test off the Scottish coast next year. Called the Snail, it uses the flow of water over wings to anchor it to the seabed. This will allow it to operate at a greater range of sites than rival models, its designers say. Tidal flows have the potential to supply large... view more... (2003-09-24)
Mapping the foundation of human development
Embryonic stem cells may one day provide a means to treat disease, but according to two new reports, they are already revealing remarkable insights into the mysteries of human biology. view more (2006-04-21)

Ultra-clean coal to power a greener future
Engineers in Nottingham are developing ultra-clean coal that could make power generation 50% more efficient and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by a third. A team at The University of Nottingham is one of only two in the world working on ground-breaking techniques to purify one of the world's main energy sources. view more (2005-05-10)
Fuel Cells, Energy Conversion, and Mathematics
Concerns about dwindling fossil fuel resources, current levels of petroleum consumption, and growing pressure to shift to more sustainable energy sources are among the many factors prompting the transition from our current energy infrastructure to one that uses less carbon and requires the efficient conversion of energy. view more (2009-07-27)
Brown Engineers Build a Better Battery - With Plastic
Brown University engineers have created a new battery that uses plastic, not metal, to conduct electrical current. The hybrid device marries the power of a capacitor with the storage capacity of a battery. view more (2006-09-14)
New global bird map suggests 'hotspots' not a simple key to conservation
The first full map of where the world's birds live reveals their diversity 'hotspots' and will help to focus conservation efforts, according to research published in Nature today (18 August). view more (2005-08-18)
Reducing risks - the challenge for engineering
Government Chief Scientific Adviser Professor David King will next week challenge the UK's engineers to create a sustainable economy and respond to environmental problems when he gives the ExxonMobil lecture to the Royal Academy of Engineering in London on Monday 2 December 2002. "Sustaining the economy is a central role for engineers,"... view more... (2002-11-29)
Europe at the forefront in research on solar, wave and geothermal energies
Today at the "Solar platform" test site in Almeria (Spain) the European Commission presented the state of play on its research programmes in alternative energy sources, including solar thermal, wave and geothermal energy. World energy consumption will double over the next 50 years, with Europe currently depending heavily on foreign... view more... (2004-03-17)
A new remote control system for base stations increases the range of mobile phones
The explosive growth in mobile phones has been supported by a similar growth in the underlying networks of base stations used to connect calls. This has created headaches for network administrators charged with keeping an increasing numbers of base stations active at all times. Now a convenient new power and management cabinet allows... view more... (2003-05-07)
Finding energy solutions for this generation without compromising the future
As the World's oil, coal and gas reserves run low and countries work to reduce their greenhouse gases, we are looking for new ways to keep power flowing to our homes and industries. So, where should our money be spent when it comes to looking at alternative ways of providing energy? On Friday June 29th leading academics and industrialists are... view more... (2001-06-25)
MIT: Better way to harness waste heat
New MIT research points the way to a technology that might make it possible to harvest much of the wasted heat produced by everything from computer processor chips to car engines to electric powerplants, and turn it into usable electricity. view more (2009-11-19)
Remarkable new clothing may someday power your iPod
Nanotechnology researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology are developing a shirt that harvests energy from the wearer's physical motion and converts it into electricity for powering small electronic devices worn by soldiers in the field, hikers and other users. view more (2008-02-14)
Clean Power For The Future
Two scientists from the University of Surrey's Materials Chemistry Group within the School of Biomedical and Molecular Sciences, has been awarded almost £250,000 to further their research into new materials for use in fuel cell applications. Dr Saiful Islam and Dr Peter Slater received £178,000 from the Engineering and Physical... view more... (2003-08-11)
Female supervisors more susceptible to workplace sexual harassment
Women who hold supervisory positions are more likely to be sexually harassed at work, according to the first-ever, large-scale longitudinal study to examine workplace power, gender and sexual harassment. view more (2009-08-10)
