A new study published in Geology by the University of Vienna explores how mysterious fairy circles—circular barren patches scattered across landscapes in Namibia, Brazil, Australia, and Russia—may be surface indicators of underground natural hydrogen reserves. According to the study published in Geology Journal, these depressions form through complex geomechanical processes that could provide valuable clues to locating vast clean energy …

The race to replace fossil fuels has inspired researchers to explore many unconventional potential sources. Among these, natural hydrogen, which is found deep underground, is gaining attention. It is seen as a possible building block for a cleaner energy future. Yet, it remains difficult to predict where this hidden hydrogen lies. A recent study from the University of …

Credit: Jin Huang and Siyuan Zuo Scientists used a nanoparticle “megalibrary” to uncover a low-cost, high-performing alternative to iridium, unlocking a faster path to affordable hydrogen energy. The Search for Iridium Alternatives For years, scientists across the globe have been working to replace iridium, a precious …

Scientists in the United States are developing a method to recycle nuclear waste to make tritium – a rare version of hydrogen which serves as one of the main fuels in nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion is a process that fuses two atoms together to release heat which can turn generators. The generators will ensure a supply of large amounts of …

If you’re looking to cruise in style à la Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, now might be your chance.  The $645 million, 390-foot “Breakthrough” superyacht that’s long been linked to the billionaire and philanthropist is up for sale by yacht broker Edmiston.  Jamie Edmiston, CEO of his namesake company, said in a statement it’s “the most extraordinary yacht ever built [and] …

IN A NUTSHELL 🚀 The new copper-based alloy developed in Japan maintains its properties in extreme cold, offering breakthroughs in space exploration and hydrogen technology. 🔧 This alloy showcases a unique shape memory effect at temperatures as low as -328 °F, surpassing traditional materials like nickel-titanium. 🌌 Applications include high-performance actuators for space telescopes and advancements in carbon-neutral tech such …

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 …
