Energy It is equal to the energy expended (or work done) in applying a force of one newton through a distance of one metre. However energy is also expressed in many other units not part of the SI, such as ergs, calories, British Thermal Units, kilowatt-hours and kilocalories, which require a conversion factor when expressed in SI units. The SI unit of energy rate (energy per unit time) is the watt, which is a joule per second. Thus, one joule is one watt-second, and 3600 joules equal one watt-hour. The CGS energy unit is the erg and the imperial and US
Information Bridge: Department of Energy Scientific and Technical Information meet requirements for information dissemination on behalf of the Department and predecessor agencies, the Energy Research & Development Administration (ERDA) and the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC). Throughout its history, OSTI has worked with representatives across the agency – in laboratories, field offices, headquarters – to facilitate access to information and to promulgate policy and best practices for scientific and technical information (STI) management. Topics, or subjects, and Department of Energy disciplines of interest in Information Bridge: DOE Scientific and Technical Information are wide-ranging. Scientific and technical research encompass chemistry, physics, materials, environmental science, geology, engineering, mathematics, climatology, oceanography, computer science,
