Integral looks at Earth to seek source of cosmic radiation
Cosmic space is filled with continuous, diffuse high-energy radiation. To find out how this energy is produced, the scientists behind ESA's Integral gamma-ray observatory have tried an unusual method: observing Earth from space. view more (2006-02-13)
microRNA-mediated metabolism
In the February 15th issue of G&D, Drs. Aurelio Teleman and Stephen Cohen (EMBL) assign one of the first biological functions to an animal microRNA: the microRNA miR-278 regulates energy homeostasis in Drosophila. view more (2006-02-15)
Sunshine mapping from space means brighter solar energy future
How sunny is it outside right now - not just locally but all across Europe and Africa? Answering this question is at the heart of many weather-related business activities: solar power and the wider energy sector, architecture and construction, tourism, even health care. view more (2005-06-30)
Solar-Powered Sea Slugs Live Like Plants
The lowly sea slug, "Elysia chlorotica," may not seem like the most exciting of creatures, but don't be fooled: it behaves like a plant and is solar-powered, says a Texas A&M University biologist who has been studying these tiny creatures for the past decade and, along with collaborators from several universities, has identified a... view more...

Researchers demonstrate single molecule absorption spectroscopy
A powerful new tool for probing molecular structure on surfaces has been developed by researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. view more (2005-12-21)
Researchers identify energy gains and environmental impacts of corn ethanol and soybean biodiesel
The first comprehensive analysis of the full life cycles of soybean biodiesel and corn grain ethanol shows that biodiesel has much less of an impact on the environment and a much higher net energy benefit than corn ethanol, but that neither can do much to meet U.S. energy demand. view more (2006-07-12)
Think solar not nuclear for the energy of the future, say scientists
Solar rather than nuclear energy should be the UK government's priority in planning future energy production, according to scientists writing today in the journal Nature Materials. view more (2006-03-01)
Hybrid grass may prove to be valuable fuel source
Giant Miscanthus (Miscanthus x giganteus), a hybrid grass that can grow 13 feet high, may be a valuable renewable fuel source for the future. view more (2005-09-28)
Einstein researchers' discover 'radiation-eating' fungi
Scientists have long assumed that fungi exist mainly to decompose matter into chemicals that other organisms can then use. But researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have found evidence that fungi possess a previously undiscovered talent with profound implications: the ability to use radioactivity as an energy... view more...

High blood pressure induces low fat metabolism in heart muscle
Under some conditions this energy-hungry organ is prone to defects in its energy metabolism that contribute to heart disease. view more (2006-08-07)
Physicists find evidence for highest energy photons ever detected from Milky Way's equator
Physicists at nearly a dozen research institutions, including New York University, have discovered evidence for very high energy gamma rays emitting from the Milky Way, marking the highest energies ever detected from the galactic equator. view more (2005-12-14)
Adding up renewable energy
Do the overall efficiencies of renewable energy sources, such as wind, solar, and geothermal add up in terms of their complete life cycle from materials sourcing, manufacture, running, and decommissioning" Researchers in Greece have carried out a life cycle assessment to find the answer. view more (2007-08-14)
Eat less, weigh more? Enzyme makes lean mice 'susceptible' to dietary fat
Working with genetically engineered mice, Johns Hopkins scientists have interfered with the brain's ability to control an animal's response to a high-fat diet. view more (2006-05-03)
New Research Seeks to Enhance Alternative Fuel Integration in Public Vehicle Fleets
Rochester Institute of Technology and the County of Monroe, New York have created a research partnership to assess the performance of the County's fleet of E85 flex-fuel vehicles. E85 is comprised of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline and is considered a major alternative energy option for American automobiles. view more (2007-07-18)
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)
New efficiency record for solar cells
The efficiency improvement is achieved by the use of an ultra-thin aluminum oxide layer at the front of the cell, and it brings a breakthrough in the use of solar energy a step closer. view more (2008-05-15)
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)
Fuel From Sawdust
Russia owns enormous reserves of coil, oil, and gas. However, such unconventional raw material in energy industry as biomass is of great importance. Its share amounts to 4 per cent now and, probably, will be increasing. Biomass, i.e. organic waste of wood industry and agriculture, trees of quick growth, is considered to be recoverable energy... view more... (2001-07-27)
First simultaneous observation of a gamma-ray burst in the X-ray and in the very high energy gamma ray band
For the first time a gamma-ray burst (GRB) has been observed simultaneously in the X-ray and in the very high energy gamma ray band. view more (2005-08-24)
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)
