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)
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)
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)
Johns Hopkins researchers find link between cell's energy use and genome health
While studying how a cell keeps its genetic material intact, scientists at Johns Hopkins got busy alternately knocking out two catalysts vital to managing a yeast cell's energy. view more (2006-07-24)
Cellular organelle evolved repeatedly
NWO researchers have discovered that in the course of evolution hydrogenosomes repeatedly evolved from mitochondria. Hydrogenosomes, or 'hydrogen-forming organelles', are cell organelles that produce hydrogen and energy. They serve as an alternative energy supply in organisms that live without oxygen, such as anaerobic fungi and protozoa. The... view more... (2001-07-26)
Nuclear cannibals
Nuclear energy production must increase by more than 10 percent each year from 2010 to 2050 to meet all future energy demands and replace fossil fuels, but this is an unsustainable prospect. view more (2008-03-05)
Renewable energy wrecks environment
Renewable does not mean green. That is the claim of Jesse Ausubel of the Rockefeller University in New York. Writing in Inderscience's International Journal of Nuclear Governance, Economy and Ecology, Ausubel explains that building enough wind farms, damming enough rivers, and growing enough biomass to meet global energy demands will wreck the... view more...

Sunlight turns carbon dioxide to methane
Dual catalysts may be the key to efficiently turning carbon dioxide and water vapor into methane and other hydrocarbons using titania nanotubes and solar power, according to Penn State researchers. view more (2009-03-05)
UGA study finds that regular exercise plays a consistent and significant role in reducing fatigue, increasing energy
Forget so-called energy drinks. A new analysis by University of Georgia researchers finds overwhelming evidence that regular exercise plays a significant role in increasing energy levels and reducing fatigue. view more (2006-11-02)
Laser trapping of erbium may lead to novel devices
Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have used lasers to cool and trap erbium atoms, a "rare earth" heavy metal with unusual optical, electronic and magnetic properties. view more (2006-05-01)
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)
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)
Methane from microbes: a fuel for the future
Microbes could provide a clean, renewable energy source and use up carbon dioxide in the process, suggested Dr James Chong at a Science Media Centre press briefing today. view more (2007-12-11)
Kyoto climate commitments - a challenge for UK energy policy, say Academies
The report examines options for generating electricity without emission of CO2. These include using renewable sources (such as wind and solar) and negating CO2 emissions by use of 'carbon sequestration', as well as maintaining a nuclear energy capability. view more (1999-06-14)
NJIT researchers develop inexpensive, easy process to produce solar panels
Researchers at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) have developed an inexpensive solar cell that can be painted or printed on flexible plastic sheets. view more (2007-07-19)

How the atmospheres of Mars and Venus are affected by carbon monoxide
Modelling of the Earth's atmosphere has acquired economic importance due to its use in the prediction of ozone depletion and in measuring the impact of global warming. view more (2008-02-26)
Sandia applies a surety approach in creating solutions to energy challenges
With concerns that energy use will rapidly increase over the next several years while fossil fuels diminish, Sandia National Laboratories is looking at a new way to meet growing energy challenges—energy surety. view more (2006-07-12)
High-tech hydrogen scooter designed to sell clean technology
An Industrial Design Engineering graduate from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands has designed and built a working prototype of a scooter, which can be powered by hydrogen. view more (2006-07-27)
Throwing light on the dark side of the Universe
Although we may believe humans know a lot about the Universe, there are still a lot of phenomena to be explained. A team of cosmologists from the University of the Basque Country are searching for the model that best explains the evolution of the Universe. view more (2008-10-22)
