Daily exercise lessens many of the harmful physiological effects of short-term overeating and inactivity, British researchers say. "This new research shows that the picture is more sophisticated than 'energy' alone: exercise has positive ...
Springs are elastic usually made from steel and used to store mechanical energy and have been used since long time in human history. In those days springs were used in string that acted as a spring using elasticity which was used in ...
Volvo has developed a method of storing energy in car body panels that could make conventional hybrid and electric vehicle batteries a thing of the past. The three-and-a-half year project –funded by the European Union and comprising ...
The Toyota Yaris Hybrid R concept will boast power and performance to rival serious sports cars when it debuts at next month’s Frankfurt motor show. Beneath the three-door Yaris Hybrid R’s bonnet lurks a 223kW, 1.6-litre ...
