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
Egypt and Germany have strengthened their bilateral cooperation with the signing of a €30m grant agreement for a green hydrogen project. The agreement was signed during a meeting between the Egyptian Minister of Planning, Economic Development, and International Cooperation Rania Al-Mashat and German State Secretary of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development Jochen
Norway’s Scatec and Germany’s PtX signed a Euro 30 million (EGP 1.6 billion) grant agreement to support Egypt’s green hydrogen project, the Ministry of Planning, Economic Development, and International Cooperation announced on Tuesday. The agreement signing took place with the attendance of Karim Badawi, Egypt’s Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources; Svenja Schulze, Germany’s Federal
Scientists are urgently searching for clean fuel sources - such as hydrogen - to move towards carbon neutrality. A breakthrough for improving the efficiency of the photocatalytic reaction that splits water into hydrogen has been made by a team of researchers from Tohoku University, Tokyo University of Science and Mitsubishi Materials Corporation.

The newly-discovered isotope, plutonium-227, has a half-life of 0.78 seconds, according to a team of physicists from China. The region of the nuclear chart 87≤Z≤97 and 112≤N≤136 shows the new isotope plutonium-227 (red star) and the 12 nuclides (blue star) that were discovered at the Institute of Modern Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Archaeologists excavating Tam Pà Ling (Cave of Monkeys) in northeastern Laos have recovered fossil evidence for some of the earliest Homo sapiens presence in mainland Southeast Asia.

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.
