...maglev takes a load of hardware and a ton of power and is useless for small, simple kinds of engineering. The new breakthrough - achieved by a joint team of researchers from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Harvard University and published in a paper in the journal Nature - provides an alternative...
...course, the wind doesn't always blow. At Kuzumaki Highland Farm, 200 dairy cows share the power load. Their manure is processed into fertilizer and methane gas, the latter used as fuel for an electrical generator at the town's biomass facility. Nearby, a three-year project sponsored by Japan's Economy, Trade and Industry Ministry's New Energy Development Organization (NEDO) uses wood chips from larch trees to create gas that powers the farm's milk and cheese operations. The bark of other trees is also made into pellets for heating stoves used throughout the community. A local winery...
...making us heavier and increasing our risk of diabetes and heart disease - the evidence has not been as clear for high- or low-glycemic index foods. So, a new study published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association adds welcome evidence in favor of keeping your glycemic load in check - particularly if you have diabetes...
...fully cooked pasta, and for some people, eating later in the day raises the glycemic index of foods that would be lower if eaten earlier. Dr. David Katz, director of the Yale University Prevention Research Center argues, therefore, that it may be more instructive to focus on the "glycemic load" of an entire meal - a combined measure of the glycemic indices of individual foods - rather than looking at one food at a time. "Measuring the glycemic property of a diet at large is in fact quite useful," he says...
...what does that mean for people who are deciding which diet to try in the new year? Researchers say it's too soon to eschew a high-fiber (or low-fat or low-carb) plan to go low-glycemic load. "There are certain quirks that make [understanding] the glycemic index more complicated than understanding carbohydrates and fats," says Dr. John Buse, president of medicine and science at the American Diabetes Association. "The science in the low-glycemic index field is certainly less robust than in other nutrition management fields." Buse notes that the study's findings do not discount...
