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)
Solar Energy Powers Marines on Battlefield
A year ago, U.S. Marines operating in the Arabian Desert only viewed the sun as the source of the region's relentless heat. Recently, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) Advanced Power Generation Future Naval Capabilities program introduced technology that allows the Marines to harness some of that sunshine to help power their field equipment. view more (2009-12-09)
Scientific issues associated with carbon-neutral energy sources such as cellulosic ethanol
Professor Chris Somerville of the Carnegie Institution and Stanford University, explained advances in plant science research that are both needed and achievable to reduce costs and multiply current levels of production of biofuels from plant cellulose (biomass). view more (2006-08-07)
Biodesign's Rittmann offers promising perspectives on society's energy challenge
Perhaps there is no greater societal need for scientific know-how than in finding new ways to meet future energy demands. Skyrocketing gas prices, an uncertain oil supply, increasing demand from around the world, and the looming threat of climate change have made identifying and developing realistic energy alternatives a national priority. view more (2008-06-04)
Press Invitation: Cleaner & cheaper sources of energy: EU Research on photovoltaics and bio-energy
What? Presentation of European research projects into photovoltaic and bio-energy technologies view more (2004-09-28)
Carnegie Mellon researcher says China's export trade impacts climate
Carnegie Mellon University's Christopher L. Weber argues that China's new title as the world's largest greenhouse gas emitter is at least partly due to consumption of Chinese goods in the West. view more (2008-07-30)
Fertility hope as study shows eggs survive in older ovaries
In research that could have broad implications for women's fertility treatments, scientists have found that despite their age, female mice have a renewable egg supply in their ovaries. view more (2006-07-06)
Facade that stores and releases heat
In the last years the cold industry has incorporated advanced technologies based on substances that in low temperatures, usually lower than 0 °C, have a phase-change. Those substances, called eutectic mixes, store and release heat when they change their state from liquid to solid. Those substances have been used to regulate temperature and... view more...

Energy crops take a roasting
A process used to roast coffee beans could give Britain's biomass a power boost, increasing the energy content of some of the UK's leading energy crops by up to 20 per cent. view more (2008-05-22)
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)
Contemplating excess wind
How much usable energy do wind turbines produce? It is a question that perplexes engineers and frustrates potential users, especially on windless days. view more (2009-06-17)
Government of Canada calls on industry to participate in new biofuels initiative
More Canadians will soon be putting cleaner biofuels in their vehicles such as ethanol and biodiesel. view more (2007-12-04)
'Thin-layer' solar cells may bring cheaper 'green' power
Scientists are researching new ways of harnessing the sun's rays which could eventually make it cheaper for people to use solar energy to power their homes. view more (2007-08-24)
Flax and yellow flowers can produce bioethanol
Surplus biomass from the production of flax shives, and generated from Brassica carinata, a yellow-flowered plant related to those which engulf fields in spring, can be used to produce bioethanol. view more (2009-11-23)
Energy, technology and environmental challenges: European research predicts bleak world picture in 2030
In 2030 the world's energy consumption will have doubled; fossil fuels, namely oil, will continue to dominate as energy sources and carbon dioxide emissions will be nearly twice those recorded in 1990, according to research published today by the European Commission. the "World Energy, Technology and Climate Policy Outlook" sets out for... view more...

Biodiesel for automotion
The GAIKER Technological centre is designing a project, together with the Catalysis and Petrochemical Institute of the CSIC, The Bilbao School of Industrial Engineers and the University of Malaga, aimed at obtaining biofuels from a renewable source of energy. To this end, an attempt to develop a process of heterogeneous catalysis has been... view more... (2005-01-20)
Cow power could generate electricity for millions
Converting livestock manure into a domestic renewable fuel source could generate enough electricity to meet up to three per cent of North America's entire consumption needs and lead to a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs), according to US research published today. view more (2008-07-24)
Research Shows Ventilated Auto Seats Improve Fuel Economy, Comfort
The U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has demonstrated that ventilated automotive seats not only can improve passenger comfort but also a vehicle's fuel economy. view more (2006-03-03)
Researchers make advances in wind energy generation
Engineers at the University of Alberta have created a wind energy generator that they hope people will one day be able to use to power their own homes. view more (2005-07-19)
Composites for energy
Advanced composite materials are playing a vital role in improved design and reduced operating costs for renewable energy technologies. view more (2009-06-30)
