Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC): A bio-electrochemical system in which microorganisms catalyse the conversion of chemical energy from organic substrates into electrical energy.

New research breaks down the way coffee helps support longevity, and it has to do with a cellular process called AMPK. Here's ...

Researchers have illustrated how caffeine acts on the target of rapamycin growth regulator to help cells live longer.

While the energy boost our cup of Joe delivers each morning is enough for most of us to justify its daily consumption, caffeine has also been associated with a number of health benefits, such as ...
