Chinese Scientists Invent System for Extracting Oxygen, Water and Rocket Fuel From Moon Dust

Chinese Scientists Invent System for Extracting Oxygen, Water and Rocket Fuel From Moon Dust

Chinese researchers say they’ve devised a new way to extract water from lunar soil and convert it into fuel. As detailed in a new paper published today in the journal Joule, the team found that their proposed “photothermal strategy” — essentially converting light into heat — could effectively convert carbon dioxide from extracted water into carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and oxygen …

Overactive Anterior Insula May Fuel Anxiety and Depression

Overactive Anterior Insula May Fuel Anxiety and Depression

Summary: New research shows that elevated glutamate-glutamine (Glx) levels in the anterior insular cortex (AIC) make people more sensitive to mistakes and more prone to anxiety and depression. Using functional magnetic resonance spectroscopy and reinforcement learning tasks, scientists found that high AIC Glx predicted both a general internalizing symptom score and heightened error sensitivity, which mediated this relationship. During reward …

Ford recalls nearly 700K SUVs over fuel leak that could cause fire

Ford recalls nearly 700K SUVs over fuel leak that could cause fire

Ford is recalling nearly 700,000 SUVs in the US after a year-long investigation found a fuel leak issue that could ignite a fire and increase the risk of injury. A fuel injector in the impacted vehicles may crack and leak fuel inside the engine compartment, potentially leading to an underhood fire, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Wednesday. Ford …

Stellantis abandons hydrogen fuel cell development

Stellantis abandons hydrogen fuel cell development

Hydrogen is also much less energy-dense by volume, and making the stuff is far from efficient, even when you use entirely renewable electricity. And of course, the vast majority of commercial hydrogen is not so-called blue hydrogen, which was made with renewables but is instead mostly produced via steam reformation from hydrocarbon stocks. That’s an energy-intensive process and one that …

Mysterious blobs deep inside Earth may fuel deadly volcanic eruptions – with the capability of wiping out life as we know it

Mysterious blobs deep inside Earth may fuel deadly volcanic eruptions – with the capability of wiping out life as we know it

Explosive volcanic eruptions don’t just damage property and cancel flights. They can kill hundreds or even thousands of people, burying them under lethal ‘pyroclastic’ flows.  Now, scientists in Australia have identified a possible cause of gigantic volcanic eruptions – mysterious ‘blobs’ about 1,200 miles under our feet.  Blobs are three-dimensional regions that span the length of continents and stretch 100 times …
