Smart cars will watch roads while drivers' minds drift
Las Vegas, Nevada (AFP) Jan 8, 2008Smart cars that pay attention to the roads while drivers' minds are elsewhere are on the automotive horizon at the world's largest consumer electronics show. Germany-based Continental Automotive Systems showed off some of the technology, and its view of the near future, in a "Safely There" mobile exhibit at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Continental promises that cars will b ... more 'Green' energy up in Germany but future clouding: producers 
Berlin (AFP) Jan 8, 2008Germany produced almost a tenth of its energy needs for transport, electricity generation and heating from renewable sources in 2007, an industry group said on Tuesday. The German federation for renewable energy (BEE) warned however that further progress was likely to be hampered by falling investment in renewable energy sources. A total of 9.1 percent of the energy for Europe's biggest ... more Japan to launch G8 energy-saving talks: official 
Tokyo (AFP) Jan 8, 2008Japan will host a series of meetings on energy-saving ahead of this year's Group of Eight summit where climate change will be high on the agenda, officials said Tuesday. Talks will be held in Tokyo on January 22 and 23 to prepare for a meeting of energy ministers from the eight nations in June in northern Aomori prefecture, said an official at Japan's Agency for Natural Resources and Energy. ... more Switchgrass shows biofuel potential 
Lincoln, Neb. (UPI) Jan 8, 2008Nebraska researchers said switchgrass yields significantly more energy than is consumed in its production and conversion into cellulosic ethanol. A five-year study involving farms in Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota examined the net energy output, greenhouse gas emissions, biomass yields, agricultural inputs and estimated cellulosic ethanol production from switchgrass grown and m ... more New Nanostructured Thin Film Shows Promise For Efficient Solar Energy Conversion 
Santa Cruz CA (SPX) Jan 09, 2008In the race to make solar cells cheaper and more efficient, many researchers and start-up companies are betting on new designs that exploit nanostructures--materials engineered on the scale of a billionth of a meter. Using nanotechnology, researchers can experiment with and control how a material generates, captures, transports, and stores free electrons--properties that are important for the co ... more |

San Diego CA (SPX) Jan 09, 2008A recently completed river-flow and reservoir management demonstration project shows how a new technology can help California generate more electricity and save water. The Integrated Forecast and Management (INFORM) system has the potential to boost hydroelectric production by up to 20% while increasing water supplies by up to 50%. INFORM was developed by the Hydrologic Research Center (HR ... more Greenpeace calls for curbs on India's car emissions 
New Delhi (AFP) Jan 8, 2008Greenpeace on Tuesday called on the Indian government to set mandatory fuel efficiency standards for cars, warning vehicle emissions will contribute significantly to climate change. The group's warning came days ahead of an auto show beginning Thursday in New Dehi where multinational car firms will unveil new models aimed at capturing a slice of the fast-growing Indian automobile sector. ... more Purdue Wind Tunnel Key For Hypersonic Vehicles And Future Space Planes 
West Lafayette IN (SPX) Jan 07, 2008By using the only wind tunnel capable of running quietly at "hypersonic" speeds, Purdue University engineers have conducted experiments to yield critical data for designing an advanced aircraft called the X-51A, powered by engines called scramjets. The X-51A test vehicle is expected to evolve into missiles capable of flying at Mach 6 - or six times the speed of sound - enabling them to hit mobi ... more No Convincing Evidence For Decline In Tropical Forests 
Leeds, UK (SPX) Jan 08, 2008Claims that tropical forests are declining cannot be backed up by hard evidence, according to new research from the University of Leeds. This major challenge to conventional thinking is the surprising finding of a study published in the Proceedings of the US National Academy of Sciences by Dr Alan Grainger, Senior Lecturer in Geography and one of the world's leading experts on tropical deforesta ... more |

Paris, France (SPX) Jan 08, 2008Every year in the world an estimated 20 million hectares of arable land are rendered infertile simply owing to water-induced erosion. It is therefore crucial to understand how these processes arise in order better to protect the layer of a few tens of metres of fertile soil essential for plant growth and therefore for sustaining agriculture. In the North of Mexico, about ten years ago IRD ... more Will Intensive Forest Practices Impact Water Quality 
Madison WI (SPX) Jan 08, 2008In order to increase productivity, forest practices have become more intense in recent decades. Forest fertilization increased by 800% in the southeastern United States from 1990 to 1999, and the total acreage fertilized in the Southeast exceeds the forest area fertilized in the rest of the world. This has generated concern that intensive forest practices, including fertilization, may negatively ... more Alternative Fuel Demand Boosts Prices Of Forest Products 
Charlotte NC (SPX) Jan 08, 2008Power companies in the South and Pacific Northwest will drive prices for wood fuels higher as new facilities are built to produce an energy alternative to fossil fuels, experts in the forest products industry said Friday. But the supply of wood chips - a byproduct of lumber production used at pulp mills and power facilities - is dropping as residential construction drastically slows in the weak ... more Energy Harvesting Technologies Offer Low Costs And Low Maintenance 
Palo Alto CA (SPX) Jan 08, 2008The need to minimize maintenance and replacement costs of battery-powered applications drives energy harvesting technologies that bind renewable and ambient sources of energy. Analysis from Frost and Sullivan, Advances in Energy Harvesting Technologies, finds that energy harvesting technologies such as piezoelectric, thermoelectric and others will have potential applications in wireless sensor n ... more
