When a good nanoparticle goes bad
Researchers at Cornell University recently made a major breakthrough when they invented a method to test and demonstrate a long-held hypothesis that some very, very small metal particles work much better than others in various chemical processes such as converting chemical energy to electricity in fuel cells or reducing automobile pollution. view more (2008-11-11)
Research highlights potential for improved solar cells
A team of Los Alamos researchers led by Victor Klimov has shown that carrier multiplication-when a photon creates multiple electrons-is a real phenomenon in tiny semiconductor crystals and not a false observation born of extraneous effects that mimic carrier multiplication. The research, explained in a recent issue of Accounts of Chemical... view more... (2009-02-11)
Experiments examine hydrogen-production benefits of clean coal burning
Sandia National Laboratories researchers here are studying the burning characteristics of coal to prepare the way for the coming of a hydrogen economy. view more (2006-04-05)
Slow Electrons are "killing" Ozone
Outstanding new discoveries in ion physics Innsbruck/Vienna (Austrian Science Fund) - Tilmann M'Īrk from the Institute of Ion Physics at the University of Innsbruck and his team have, with the support of the Austrian Science Fund, developed unique methods and equipment to examine the interaction of electrons with atoms, molecules and clusters. And... view more... (2001-10-15)
Energy drinks may be harmful to people with hypertension, heart disease
People who have high blood pressure or heart disease should avoid consuming energy drinks, according to a Henry Ford Hospital study to be published online Wednesday in the Annals of Pharmacotherapy. view more (2009-03-26)
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 two concentric cylindrical tanks in a single... view more... (2002-12-03)
New source for biofuels discovered
A newly created microbe produces cellulose that can be turned into ethanol and other biofuels, report scientists from The University of Texas at Austin who say the microbe could provide a significant portion of the nation's transportation fuel if production can be scaled up. view more (2008-04-24)
Shell endows £0.5m chair in sustainable development in energy at Imperial College London
Shell International Exploration and Production B.V. today announced a £500,000 endowment to fund the establishment of a Shell Chair in Sustainable Development in Energy at Imperial College London. The establishment of the Shell Chair in Sustainable Development in Energy is part of a broader partnership between Shell and Imperial College... view more... (2003-05-06)
Berkeley Researchers Identify Photosynthetic Dimmer Switch
In a study of the molecular mechanisms by which plants protect themselves from oxidation damage should they absorb too much sunlight during photosynthesis, a team of researchers has discovered a molecular "dimmer switch" that helps control the flow of solar energy moving through the system of light harvesting proteins. view more (2008-05-09)
New evidence for dark energy in the universe
An international team of astronomers, led by scientists at the University of Manchester have produced new evidence that most of the energy in the Universe is in the form of the mysterious "Dark Energy". The new evidence comes from a 10-year census of the sky for examples of gravitational lenses, which are seen when a galaxy bends the light from a... view more... (2002-11-09)
Strength training combined with a low energy diet best for obese kids
A low energy diet combined with strength training seems the best way of tackling childhood obesity, shows research in the Archives of Disease in Childhood. view more (2002-05-20)
Emissions targets for 2030 will only be reached by banning cars in London
London Authority (GLA) takes radical steps, one of which could be the removal of all cars from both inner and outer London, according to a report published today. view more (2007-09-13)
UC Riverside Researchers Create First Synthetic Cellulosome in Yeast
A team of researchers led by University of California, Riverside (UCR) Professor of Chemical Engineering Wilfred Chen has constructed for the first time a synthetic cellulosome in yeast, which is much more ethanol-tolerant than the bacteria in which these structures are normally found. view more (2009-10-30)
University has grand designs to build a house of straw
That's what researchers at the University of Bath will be testing this summer by constructing a "BaleHaus" made of prefabricated straw bale and hemp cladding panels on campus. view more (2009-07-28)
A carbon-neutral way to power your home
A super-efficient system that has the potential to power, heat and cool homes across the UK is being developed at Newcastle University. view more (2008-12-01)
From campfire to gas tank, Mesquite energy may be harvested for ethanol
The dense mesquite-covered mid-section of Texas could provide fuel for about 400 small ethanol plants, according to one Texas Agricultural Experiment Station researcher. view more (2006-06-23)
Stable power supply thanks to wind turbines
Wind turbines can help keep the voltage in the electricity network at a constant level. The power electronics in the turbines can effectively correct peaks and dips in the mains voltage. This is the conclusion reached by NWO-funded researchers. Modern wind turbines are a good means of coping with fluctuations in the mains voltage. Such... view more... (2001-10-08)
Report of the ITER Council, Vienna, Austria, 18 -19 July 2001
Upon the successful completion of the ITER Engineering Design Activities the ITER Council, the governing body of this venture, with representatives of the European Union, Japan, and the Russian Federation, assembled for its last meeting on July 18 and 19 at the Vienna IAEA headquarters. ITER is an international fusion energy research and... view more... (2001-07-23)
Fans use too much electricity
From our kitchens to industrial buildings, we cannot do without fans - even if we are only seldom aware of them. They cool the processor in our home computers, or rotate in the cooling towers of large power stations. But they need electricity to be able to do their job. For Europe, the Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI,... view more... (2002-08-29)
Pyramids give batteries a longer life
A way of increasing battery life in devices such as laptop computers, personal TVs and camcorders is reported today in the Institute of Physics Journal, Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering. Researchers at the University of Michigan and the National Taiwan University, have developed a film which increases the display brightness by 100... view more... (2000-06-22)
