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 …
