Shutting fume hoods will save energy and money
06-01-2007 · Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
Fume hoods keep chemists from breathing noxious vapors, but a single fume hood running 24 hours uses as much energy as a single-family home. A group of students, staff, and administrators aims to save millions by advocating mindful use of fume hoods.

Software patch makes car more fuel-efficient
02-28-2007 · EurekAlert!
A car wastes energy almost continuously. Accelerating a little less or a little bit more than the optimal performance can cause considerable loss of energy. John Kessels has designed a way to save energy by enabling the car to achieve optimal engine performance more frequently. With a relatively small modification it is possible to reduce fuel consumption by 2.6 percent. Kessels obtained his doctorate from the Technical University Eindhoven (TU/e) on Wednesday Feb. 14, 2007.

Female iguanas pay high costs to choose a mate
06-27-2007 · EurekAlert!
Picking a mate isn't easy -- if you are a female iguana. In a study published in the June 27 issue of the online, open-access journal PLoS ONE, Maren Vitousek of Princeton University and colleagues found that female Galápagos marine iguanas spend a lot of energy picking a mate from a wide range of suitors -- energy they could otherwise spend foraging, producing eggs or avoiding predators.

Weekend labor shortage
09-25-2007 · EurekAlert!
Two new studies show that as the number of elective caesarean sections rises, more babies are born during the week and fewer come into the world at weekends. It appears that hospitals schedule births during the week when they are fully resourced and staff is working 'normal' hours at no extra cost. These findings by Alexander Lerchl, from the Jacobs University Bremen in Germany, will be published online this week in Springer's journal Naturwissenschaften.

New Delft material concept for aircraft wings could save billions
09-26-2007 · EurekAlert!
Building aircraft wings with a special aluminium fiber combination makes them nearly immune to metal fatigue. The application of this technology, partly developed at Delft University of Technology, will lead to substantial savings. The unusual qualities of this special material can make a significant contribution to the development of truly energy-efficient, 'green' aircraft. Lower fuel consumption and reduction of maintenance costs could lead to worldwide savings as high as $100 billion.
