New phenomenon in physics discovered on illumination of metal surfaces
Scientific research at the Centre of the Physics of Materials, a mixed venture of the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) and the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) in Donostia-San Sebastian, has enabled the discovery of a new physical phenomenon that affects the surfaces of illuminated metals. view more (2007-07-12)
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)
Researchers examine carbon capture and storage to combat global warming
While solar power and hybrid cars have become popular symbols of green technology, Stanford researchers are exploring another path for cutting emissions of carbon dioxide, the leading greenhouse gas that causes global warming. view more (2007-06-12)
Female iguanas pay high costs to choose a mate
Picking a mate isn't easy-if you are a female iguana. In a study published in the June 27th issue of the online, open-access journal PLoS ONE, Maren Vitousek of Princeton University and colleagues found that female Galapagos marine iguanas spend a lot of energy picking a mate from a wide range of suitors - energy they could otherwise spend... view more...

Microbes fuel energy debate
Microbes may well be the answer to our global energy crisis. By fermenting biomass to produce biofuels, they offer a possible climate-friendly solution to the anticipated shortfall in fossil fuel supply. view more (2009-01-23)
Trade-offs reveal no clear favorites in alternative energy market
The nuclear power industry is riding the green wave back into public favor with its promise of a low-carbon solution to our growing energy needs. But even as the industry struggles to dictate what role nuclear can realistically play, it is bound by a global energy landscape-from solar to carbon sequestration-that is still predominantly shaped by... view more...

A Boost for Hydrogen Fuel Cell Research
The development of hydrogen fuel cells for vehicles, the ultimate green dream in transportation energy, is another step closer. Researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) have identified a new variation of a familiar platinum-nickel alloy that is far... view more...

Finding energy solutions for this generation without compromising the future
As the World's oil, coal and gas reserves run low and countries work to reduce their greenhouse gases, we are looking for new ways to keep power flowing to our homes and industries. So, where should our money be spent when it comes to looking at alternative ways of providing energy? On Friday June 29th leading academics and industrialists are... view more... (2001-06-25)
Researchers complete seismic borehole in Kentucky
Drilling has been completed on the deepest borehole for seismic instruments in the eastern U.S. The four-inch diameter hole for the Central U.S. Seismic Observatory (CUSSO), located at Sassafras Ridge in Fulton County, Kentucky, reached a depth of 1,948 feet, where bedrock was encountered. view more (2006-12-14)
High calorie diet seems to increase chances of surviving bowel cancer for longer
A high calorie diet seems to increase the chances of surviving bowel cancer for longer, suggests research in Gut. Bowel cancer is one of the most common cancers in the West, and is strongly linked to dietary factors, especially high intakes of red meat, fat, and refined sugars. Survival rates are generally poor, with less than half of those... view more... (2003-05-09)
Carbohydrate Chemistry Comes of Age
A new national network of chemists and biologists is planning to open up a vital area of chemistry that could have major implications for the drug, food and agrochemical industries. The UK Carbohydrate Chemistry Network, being set up at the University of East Anglia (UEA), will involve scientists from across the country who are trying to... view more... (2001-10-23)
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)
Clemson physicist addresses international forum on thermoelectric energy
Energy lost from hot engines could save billions of dollars if it could be captured and converted into electricity via thermoelectric devices, Clemson University physicist Terry Tritt told scientists gathered in Dallas for the world-renowned NanoTX '07 conference. view more (2007-10-04)
The price paid for higher energy is highly dangerous to teeth
For more than 10 years, energy drinks in the United States have been on the rise, promising consumers more "oomph" in their day. view more (2008-03-13)
DOE JGI Finishes 100th Microbial Genome
Microbes, thriving in even the world's most extreme environments, are capable of performing myriad biological functions, learned over the billions of years they have inhabited the planet. view more (2006-05-23)
The search for new applications for laser light beams
Light can blind or distort colours, or confuse one with chiaroscuros. But it can have greater usefulness if its properties, characteristics, how it is created, etcetera are better understood. view more (2006-05-30)
Stock Market Swings Help Researchers Understand Extreme Events in Solar Wind
Astrophysicists at the University of Warwick have applied data analysis methods used to model stock market fluctuations, to explore changes in the solar wind (the sun's expanding atmosphere). They have discovered that the fluctuations in the solar wind follow the same kinds of patterns seen in the stock markets - particularly when it comes to the... view more... (2002-07-25)
Study identifies potential drug target for Huntington's disease
An enzyme known to be critical for the repair of damaged cells and the maintenance of cellular energy may be a useful target for new strategies to treat Huntington's disease (HD) and other disorders characterized by low cellular energy levels. view more (2006-07-31)
Energy network launches international web survey
A European website designed to stimulate informed debate on future energy sources this week launches a multi-lingual survey to gauge public attitudes to, and knowledge of, crucial energy issues. The INTUSER website (www.intuser.net) is a new on-line forum for both the general public and energy experts to communicate about energy issues - from... view more... (2002-12-04)
Possible Origin of Cosmic Rays Revealed with Gamma Rays
An international team of astronomers (including the UK) has produced the first ever image of an astronomical object using high energy gamma rays, helping to solve a 100 year old mystery - an origin of cosmic rays. Their research, published in the Journal Nature on November 4th, was carried out using the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.),... view more... (2004-11-02)
