High-pressure Compound Could Be Key To Hydrogen-powered Vehicles May 13, 2009
Currently, most hydrogen-powered machines use either compressed hydrogen gas or liquid hydrogen, which needs to be maintained at high pressure or very low temperature, respectively, relative to ambient temperature and pressure. These methods have associated safety concerns in the case of compressed hydrogen and require significant energy for cooling in the case of liquid hydrogen. (Science Daily)

Arriving late a wise plan for hummers Apr 18, 2009
One way hummers can save energy is by reducing energy expenditure as the ambient temperature drops. A rufous hummer's normal body temperature of 102 F can drop as low as 54 F when the ambient temperature goes down to 44 F. Torpor thus can reduce the metabolic rate to as little as 7 percent of normal. (Juneau Empire)

ASK THE EXPERTSWhen air is the same temperature as our body, why do we feel hot? Apr 9, 2009
These processes function best when ambient temperature is around 70 degrees Fahrenheit, where we feel most comfortable, and they serve to maintain core body temperature around 98 degrees F. But when the surroundings match core body temperature, the dispersal mechanisms are not optimal, so we feel hot, especially when humidity is high. Humidity has a significant effect because water on the body absorbs enormous amounts of heat and then dissipates it by evaporation. (Scientific American)
Breakthrough In Global Warming Plant Production: One Step Closer To 'Holy Grail' Of Plant Biology Research Apr 6, 2009
