Mitochondria are tiny structures found in all cells in our bodies and produce most of the energy we need to function normally.
CNN: Genetic disease: Mother hopes for cure for dying children
The energy drinks market is booming and even a recent study by Italian Matteo Cameli from the University of Siena confirmed that energy drinks boost heart function in healthy people.
FORBES: The Future is Here! AeroShot Energy: Zero-Calorie, Air-based Boost of Caffeine
Medivation believes that dimebon helps brain cells work better by improving the function of cellular energy factories called mitochondria.
His group is especially interested in promoting the technique for treating mitochondrial diseases -- these organelles posses a different set of DNA than that contained in the nucleus of cells, and are responsible for generating the energy needed for cells to function.
It figures that using less water and energy to execute a basic household function, while looking cool doing it, works pretty well for consumers.
FORBES: How Whirlpool Survived A Rough Recovery From The Housing Crash
Inside the lodges, trekkers rest up ahead of their final climb, conserving their strength and yet still burning energy just trying to breathe and function at such an altitude -- at 4, 800m, oxygen levels are only about 55% of those at sea level.
The digital "eyebrow" display at the top of the instrument panel provides high visibility for the Eco indicator and speedometer, while the lower liquid crystal meter display houses the new percentage style state-of-charge meter, power meter, battery temperature gauge, multi-function display, remaining energy gauge, capacity level gauge and distance to empty display.
ENGADGET: Nissan starts US production of 2013 Leaf, vows faster charging and a lower entry price
"Polar sea ice has an important function in moderating the global energy balance, " he said.
Solar panels, geothermal energy and rainwater collection will ensure that the massive manse can function through any natural calamity.
It enables the construction to function as a self-managing ecosystem with less need for external energy.
The watch is powered by a regular button cell, but thanks to the low-energy design, the watch can go two years between battery changes, assuming that the Bluetooth function is used for about 12 hours per day.
Barring a radical change in the technological playing field, there will never be an effective cyber equivalent of the International Atomic Energy Agency despite all the aspirations of organizations like the International Telecommunications Union to serve such a function.
The UCLA Engineering team created a new type of energy-harvesting polarizer for LCDs called a polarizing organic photovoltaic, which can potentially boost the function of an LCD by working simultaneously as a polarizer, a photovoltaic device and an ambient light or sunlight photovoltaic panel.
ENGADGET: Photovoltaic polarizers could make self-charging smartphone dreams come true
Edison bulbs function by making a Tungsten filament very hot, and a hot object glows: radiating energy on a broad spectrum of wavelengths, only a small part of which is visible to the eye.
LEDs function by driving electrons across a junction between two semiconductor materials in which electrons move at different energy levels.
We need to know how to function differently across many areas of the system: health, entitlements, pensions, transportation, energy, extraction, education, politics.
FORBES: Winning in the World of On-Demand Innovation: America and The Open Innovation Market
Chemo-radiotherapy specifically degrades muscle mass, and depresses the function of mitochondria, the tiny structures that act as the boiler room of the cell, generating energy.
