Even as full EVs suffer a sales slump for various reasons, there’s plenty of talk – rightly so – about slashing the greenhouse gas emissions produced by the automotive sector. Not just in terms of the stuff that cars actually emit, but the stuff produced as a byproduct of building them. It’s this entire bigger

A team of biologists in Israel has grown an extinct — or at least extirpated — tree species of the myrrh genus Commiphora from an ancient seed found in the northern Judean Desert in the 1980s. Morphological features of Sheba at different ages: (a) ancient seed prior to planting; (b) developing seed at 5 weeks
Using ammonia is regarded as a promising method of transporting hydrogen. However, an efficient process is also needed to convert it back into hydrogen and nitrogen. An international research team has gained new insights into the mode of operation of an iron catalyst that can be used to split ammonia into nitrogen and hydrogen. Hydrogen
It’s 7 billion years ago, and the Universe’s heyday of star formation is beginning to slow. What might our Milky Way Galaxy have looked like at that time? Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have found clues in the form of a cosmic question mark, the result of a rare alignment across light-years

The green hydrogen plant, which is an equal joint venture between ACWA Power, Air Products and NEOM, will produce up to 600 tonnes of carbon-free fuel daily when fully operational at the end of 2026. August 23, 2024 Sergio Matalucci NEOM Green Hydrogen Company ( NGHC ) has announced a “recruitment drive” for the construction
A supermassive black hole against a web of dark matter. (Image credit: Robert Lea (created with Canva)) New research suggests that dark matter decay could have helped black holes grow to monstrous supermassive sizes relatively early in the infant universe. If true, this could help explain some of the most perplexing observations of the cosmos

Mount Everest, also known as Chomolungma in Tibetan or Sagarmāthā in Nepali, is about 15 to 50 m taller than it would otherwise be because of uplift caused by a nearby eroding river gorge, and continues to grow because of it, according to new research. Han et al. found that erosion from a river network
Around a fifth of U.K. citizens believe Earth has been visited by extraterrestrials, and an estimated 7% believe that they have seen a UFO. The figures are even higher in the U.S. — and rising. The number of people who believe UFO sightings offer likely proof of alien life increased from 20% in 1996 to

Scientists have found a way to use electrodes to split seawater and turn it into hydrogen fuel. Normally this would create a corrosive and toxic chlorine gas byproduct. However, with this new method, researchers are able to generate clean fuel using electrolysis, while also removing the need to have pure water to do so cleanly.
Hydrogen-burning internal combustion engines hold immense potential in the battle against climate change. Their remarkable power is coupled with zero emissions of carbon, offering a compelling solution to reducing environmental impact. These engines are well-suited for heavy-duty trucks, buses, off-road and agricultural equipment, as well as backup power generators, providing a cleaner alternative to traditional
