Skeletal muscle is divided into two different types. PGC-1 is found naturally in type I, or “slow-twitch,” fibers, which are responsible for endurance and are fueled primarily by oxygen...
Another impediment is the cost and supply of the platinum particles that catalyze, or kick off, the process. Think of them almost as matchmakers, encouraging every oxygen atom to mate with two hydrogens, releasing valuable energy with each reaction. That is the heart of the fuel cell...
...alternative to fossil fuel, everyone loves hydrogen fuel cells, which produce clean energy out of hydrogen and oxygen. But hydrogen, while abundant in the air, isn't widely available in refined form. And machines that run on hydrogen are equally scarce. Researchers at the Tokyo Institute of Technology have been working on the first problem, automakers on the second. The Tokyo group has developed a way to "crack" hydrogen, using a mesh of thin carbon fibers studded with molecules of a nickel compound. The filter breaks down natural gas into carbon and hydrogen that is pure enough...
Many of today's alternative approaches are clever updates of old techniques. As part of the launch of new talk shows hosted by Isaac Mizrahi and Carrie Fisher, respectively, women's cable network Oxygen has dispatched ice-cream trucks to cruise the streets of New York City and Los Angeles and give out specially labeled popsicles and vitamin waters touting the coming broadcasts. Procter & Gamble sent out a trailer of elegant, air- conditioned Porta Potties, complete with hardwood floors and aromatherapy candles, to state fairs last summer to extol the virtues of Charmin toilet paper. Bottled-water producer Evian paid...
...moment in Chinese music history, but the two-day Snow Mountain Music Festival, which got rolling Aug. 17 on a picturesque mountainside in southwestern China, may have set the record for the highest-altitude outdoor rock concert. The thin air at 12,000 ft. had Beijing rocker boys taking oxygen hits onstage between songs. There may have been 100 times the crowd at Max Yasgur's farm in 1969, but China's Woodstock can boast at least one thing in common with its American counterpart: the mud. It had been raining in Lijiang for a solid month. Not far from...
