Research led by Sandia National Laboratories and the University of California, Merced aim at bringing down the cost of hydrogen fuel cells by using a dirt - cheap compound to create an uneven surface that resembles a plant's leaves.

Sandia leads a number of other hydrogen research efforts, including the Hydrogen Fueling Infrastructure Research and Station Technology (H2FIRST) project co-led by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), a maritime fuel cell demonstration, a development project focused on hydrogen - powered forklifts and a recent study of how many California gas stations can safely store and dispense hresearch efforts, including the Hydrogen Fueling Infrastructure Research and Station Technology (H2FIRST) project co-led by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), a maritime fuel cell demonstration, a development project focused on hydrogen - powered forklifts and a recent study of how many California gas stations can safely store and dispense hResearch and Station Technology (H2FIRST) project co-led by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), a maritime fuel cell demonstration, a development project focused on hydrogen - powered forklifts and a recent study of how many California gas stations can safely store and dispense hydrogen.

In fact, cadmium telluride solar cells are currently the most ecofriendly devices, even though they use a toxic heavy metal, primarily because they require the least energy — typically provided by burning fossil fuels — to manufacture, says environmental engineer Vasilis Fthenakis, senior scientist at Brookhaven National Laboratory's National Photovoltaic Environment Research Center in Upton, N.Y., and Columbia University.

Established by the Energy Department's Fuel Cell Technologies Office in the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, the Hydrogen Fueling Infrastructure Research and Station Technology (H2FIRST) project will draw on existing and emerging core capabilities at the national labs and aim to reduce the cost and time of new fueling station construction and improve the stations» availability and reliaFueling Infrastructure Research and Station Technology (H2FIRST) project will draw on existing and emerging core capabilities at the national labs and aim to reduce the cost and time of new fueling station construction and improve the stations» availability and reliafueling station construction and improve the stations» availability and reliability.

Valence has already modified a Prius... Marc Kohler, business development manager for Valence's vehicle systems program, says the major automakers appear to be acting disinterested, but it's not the full picture... «Publicly they have to say one thing, but R&D guys are actively researching it,» says Kohler, pointing out that high oil prices, national security issues, the fact that the technology is available, and the slow progress of fuel - cell cars has created an ideal environment for pursuing plug - in hybrids.

When you're fasting your body uses fat as fuel and preserves muscle.Researchers from the National Institute of Aging theorized in 2003 that intermittent fasting helped trigger the SIRT1 gene, thought to both stimulate cells to release fat for use as an energy source and to deactivate the genes responsible for promoting fat storage.Other research conducted at the University of California at Berkeley indicate that this type of alternate day fasting can protect against diabetes and excessive weight gain.

Publicly, most automakers are ducking the issue and emphasizing potential pitfalls of building hybrid cars with plugs, but pressure is mounting behind the scenes to give the idea some life... «Such development should have the highest research and development priority because it promises to revolutionize transportation economics and to have a dramatic effect on the problems caused by oil dependence,» write George Shultz, former U.S. secretary of state, and James Woolsey, former director of the Central Intelligence Agency, in a June position paper on oil and U.S. national security... They argue that battery development for plug - in hybrids «should for the time being replace the current research and development emphasis on automotive hydrogen fuel cells.»

Research at the University of Illinois at Chicago and the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory, funded by the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy, has resulted in a «potentially game - changing solar cell» that removes CO2 from the air and converts it directly into hydrocarbon fuel.

Developed by a Los Alamos National Laboratory research team, this advance towards a more practical hydrogen fuel - cell technology is long awaited.
