Iowa State researchers convert farm waste to bio-oil
Samy Sadaka reached into a garbage bag, picked up a mixture of cow manure and corn stalks, let it run through his fingers and invited a visitor to do the same. view more (2006-07-31)
A strong European technology partnership to move towards the hydrogen economy
European Commission President, Romano Prodi, today launched the "European Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology" Platform, whose Advisory Council includes key players of the European hydrogen sector, at its first assembly in Brussels. The Platform has the task of drafting a blueprint to smooth the EU's transition from a fossil fuel-based to... view more... (2004-01-20)
Biofuels can provide viable, sustainable solution to reducing petroleum dependence
An in-depth study by Sandia National Laboratories and General Motors Corp. has found that plant and forestry waste and dedicated energy crops could sustainably replace nearly a third of gasoline use by the year 2030. view more (2009-02-11)
Study: Long legs are more efficient
Scientists have known for years that the energy cost of walking and running is related primarily to the work done by muscles to lift and move the limbs. view more (2007-03-13)
Higher levels of common daily activity associated with lower risk of death
Older adults who expend more energy through any daily activity, including non-exercise activity, have a lower rate of death than adults who are less active. view more (2006-07-12)
Iowa State researchers helping to take the natural gas out of ethanol production
It takes a lot of natural gas to run an ethanol plant. A plant needs steam to liquefy corn starch and heat to distill alcohol and more heat to dry the leftover distillers grains. view more (2006-09-27)
The future of biofuels is not in corn
The future of biofuels is not in corn, says a new report released today by Food & Water Watch, the Network for New Energy Choices, and the Vermont Law School Institute for Energy and the Environment. view more (2007-07-19)
Extreme environment biology research may help solve lignocellulosic ethanol puzzle
Buried beneath a sulfurous cauldron in European seas lies a class of microorganisms known as "extremophiles," so named because of the extreme environmental conditions in which they live and thrive. view more (2007-06-13)
Argonne tests validate BMW Hydrogen 7 emissions well-below SULEV
Independent tests conducted by engineers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory on a BMW Hydrogen 7 Mono-Fuel demonstration vehicle have found that the car's hydrogen-powered engine surpasses the super-ultra low-emission vehicle (SULEV) level, the most stringent emissions performance standard to date. view more (2008-03-31)
Genome Sequencing Reveals a Key to Viable Ethanol Production
As the national push for alternative energy sources heats up, researchers at the University of Rochester have for the first time identified how genes responsible for biomass breakdown are turned on in a microorganism that produces valuable ethanol from materials like grass and cornstalks. view more (2007-03-05)
A new twist on power walking
In an unprecedented breakthrough in the development of portable and renewable human-driven energy sources, an MBL (Marine Biological Laboratory) biomechanics expert who studies how muscle moves skeletons in fish and frogs has invented a backpack that gives new meaning to the term power walking. view more (2005-09-09)
Energy gap useful tool for successful weight loss maintenance strategy
Americans continue to get heavier. Most weight control methods short of bariatric surgery are generally considered ineffective in preventing obesity or reducing weight. view more (2009-11-05)
Lining up for a new atom smasher
The physicists are coming to Oxford for the ECFA/DESY Linear Collider Workshop, from 20-23 March. Here they will develop plans for two 10-km long particle accelerators which will be accurately aligned to fire beams of electrons and positrons (anti-electrons) at each other. When matter and antimatter collide, they disappear - annihilate - in a... view more... (1999-03-16)
Rampant helper syndrome
The Archaea are single-celled organisms and a domain unto themselves, quite apart from the so called eukaryotes, being bacteria and higher organisms. view more (2009-07-06)
Inderscience Publishers
A way to make wind power smoother and more efficient that exploits the inertia of a wind turbine rotor could help solve the problem of wind speed variation, according to research published in the International Journal of Power Electronics. view more (2009-01-08)
National Academies news: Emissions-free, petroleum-free vehicles
A public-private effort to develop more fuel-efficient automobiles and eventually introduce hydrogen as a transportation fuel is well-planned and identifies all major hurdles the program will face, says a new report from the National Academies' National Research Council. view more (2005-08-03)
The future of solar-powered houses is clear
People could live in glass houses and look at the world through rose-tinted windows while reducing their carbon emissions by 50% thanks to QUT Institute of Sustainable Resources (ISR) research. view more (2008-04-10)
TU Delft, ECN and Stanford Work Together For Clean Energy
The Global Climate and Energy Project (GCEP) of the University of Stanford has announced that it will be investing 9 million Dollars in seven research proposals. Over a period of three years, The Energy research Centre of the Netherlands (ECN) and TU Delft together will receive 2,3 million Dollars for innovative research in the field of energy... view more...

Too much of a good thing? Scientists explain cellular effects of vitamin A overdose and deficiency
If a little vitamin A is good, more must be better, right? Wrong! New research published online in the FASEB Journal shows that vitamin A plays a crucial role in energy production within cells, explaining why too much or too little has a complex negative effect on our bodies. view more (2009-10-09)
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)
