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)
Earth Rx: A microbial biotechnology prescription for global environmental health
Water. Waste. Energy. This trio of problems is among the greatest challenges to the environmental health of society. Water purification alone is becoming more problematic in the world due to our increasingly reliance on contaminated sources, such as polluted rivers, lakes and groundwater. view more (2006-02-16)
The Antarctic Canary — the human impact on climate change
As the UK attempts to move towards a low carbon economy, leading scientists and a world expert on sustainable energy in buildings this week discuss the evidence for climate change and possible solutions. view more (2006-09-05)
MIT researchers fired up about battery alternative
Just about everything that runs on batteries - flashlights, cell phones, electric cars, missile-guidance systems - would be improved with a better energy supply. But traditional batteries haven't progressed far beyond the basic design developed by Alessandro Volta in the 19th century. view more (2006-02-08)
Renewable energy from farm waste
DE MONTFORT UNIVERSITY CONFERENCE ON BIOMASS ENERGY AT THE FARM - OCTOBER 1999 view more (1999-04-16)
Dark energy may be vacuum
Researchers at the University of Copenhagen's Dark Cosmology Centre at the Niels Bohr Institute have brought us one step closer to understanding what the universe is made of. As part of the international collaboration ESSENCE they have observed distant supernovae (exploding stars), some of which emitted the light we now see more than half the age... view more...

Research advances understanding of how hydrogen fuel is made
Oxygen may be necessary for life, but it sure gets in the way of making hydrogen fuel cheaply and abundantly from a family of enzymes present in many microorganisms. view more (2005-10-06)
UCSD study clarifies insulin's role in blocking release of energy in patients with type II diabetes
Chronically high levels of insulin, as is found in many people with obesity and Type II diabetes, may block specific hormones that trigger energy release into the body. view more (2005-09-23)
Americans consider global warming an urgent threat, according to poll
A growing number of Americans consider global warming an important threat that calls for drastic action, and 40% say that a presidential candidate's position on the issue will strongly influence how they vote, according to a national survey conducted by Yale University, Gallup and the ClearVision Institute. view more (2007-10-02)
Cost Competitive Electricity from Photovoltaic Concentrators Called 'Imminent'
Solar concentrators using highly efficient photovoltaic solar cells will reduce the cost of electricity from sunlight to competitive levels soon, attendees were told at a recent international conference on the subject. Herb Hayden of Arizona Public Service (APS) and Robert McConnell and Martha Symko-Davies of the U.S. Department of Energy's... view more... (2005-07-18)
Hydrogen as an alternative energy to petroleum
The key aspect of the project is the obtaining of metal hydrides with the capacity to "store" the hydrogen used in automotive vehicle fuel batteries. view more (2004-03-15)
Something new under the Sun
That plants grow better if grown in a greenhouse in the correct climate is nothing new. Dutch researcher Rachel van Ooteghem has designed a control system for an improved solar greenhouse that yields more. view more (2007-01-31)
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)
Nanoscience Study Shows That Quantum Dots "Talk"
Scientists who hope to use quantum dots as the building blocks for the next generation of computers have found a way to make these artificial atoms communicate. view more (2006-02-22)
Hormone found to decrease appetite and increase activity
New research shows how topping up the levels of a hormone found in the gut could help reduce the appetite and increase activity in overweight and obese people. view more (2006-04-27)
Towards the mechanism of cell respiration
Researchers at the Institute of Biotechnology of the University of Helsinki have for the first time identified an internal electron transfer reaction that initiates the proton pump mechanism of the respiratory enzyme. view more (2006-04-06)
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)
Dark energy existed in infant universe
Using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, researchers have discovered that dark energy, a mysterious repulsive force that makes the universe expand at an ever-faster rate, is not new but rather has been present in the universe for most of its 13-billion-year history. view more (2006-11-17)
Deep in the ocean, a clam that acts like a plant
How does life survive in the black depths of the ocean? At the surface, sunlight allows green plants to "fix" carbon from the air to build their bodies. view more (2007-02-21)
DOE publishes research roadmap for developing cleaner fuels
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today released an ambitious new research agenda for the development of cellulosic ethanol as an alternative to gasoline. view more (2006-07-07)
