Nanoengineers have developed a wearable microgrid that harvests and stores energy from the human body to power small electronics. It consists of three main parts: sweat-powered biofuel cells, motion-powered devices called triboelectric generators, and energy-storing supercapacitors. All parts are ...
How is energy used by the human body? How does the human digestive system regulate appetite and consumption of food? How are the various energy stores of the body utilized and converted to fuel for the body? How and when is each of them used? What are the main groups of nutrients that...
White adipose tissue is a highly plastic organ and is an important regulator of whole-body metabolism and energy balance. The magnitude of adipose tissue m
The gut microbiome is emerging as a key modulator of human energy balance. Prior studies in humans lacked the environmental and dietary controls and precision required to quantitatively evaluate the contributions of the gut microbiome. Using a Microbiome

“If your body could do the same work as a watch battery...that's a win for the environment.” While the part of the gadget that touches your skin turns your warmth into energy, the wearable shields its cold side from the sun’s rays with a wavelength-selective film to preserve the ...
However, while traditional theories of human motivation have postulated personal agency and self-determination as the central drive of all human actions, a growing body of culture-based research suggests that these fundamental assumptions may not be as relevant among members of more interdependent ...
Essential, Energy-Yielding and Non-Energy-Yielding Nutrients There are about 40 nutrients that are known to be essential for humans. Essential nutrients are those that the human body cannot make on its own and must be supplied by the diet through foods and beverages. Essential nutrients are cons...
