Water is essential for life, but the hydrogen bond—a critical interaction that brings H2O molecules together—remains complex and not fully understood. Hydrogen bonds occur when hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water molecules interact, sharing an electronic charge. This charge-sharing creates a 3D network of hydrogen bonds that gives liquid water unique properties. However, theoretical simulations
Published Oct 27th, 2024 9:02AM EDT Have you ever wondered what it looks like when a water molecule forms? Well, now you can finally see it in action, as scientists captured a molecular-scale video of that very famous meeting when hydrogen and oxygen fuse to become H2O. Further, the scientists believe the method witnessed in
Dietary interventions with pistachios — a bioavailable source of the xanthophyll lutein — are efficacious in increasing macular pigment optical density (MPOD) in healthy adults, according to a new study from Tufts University and Tufts Medical Center. Pistachios are the only nut that provides a measurable source of lutein, a powerful antioxidant that helps protect
Statkraft says it is progressing with its 200 MW electrolysis plant in Germany, while Neste says it will not invest in its 120 MW electrolyzer project in Finland. October 25, 2024 Sergio Matalucci Image: pv magazine Statkraft has secured financial support from the European Union to set up a hydrogen production site in Emden, Germany.
Fine-tuning the reactions that produce hydrogen (H2) for use as a clean fuel is an important endeavour to fight against climate change. Researchers at Tohoku University and the Tokyo University of Science have succeeded in improving the catalytic activity for this reaction. The researchers established a synthesis method that can control the surface structure of
China’s Longi Green Energy has set a new world record for crystalline silicon solar module efficiency with its independently developed hybrid passivated back contact (HPBC) 2.0 module, achieving a conversion efficiency of 25.4%, according to a certification report from Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Fraunhofer ISE).

Water is essential to life, yet the intricate interactions that bind H2O molecules together, known as hydrogen bonds, remain largely enigmatic. These bonds form when hydrogen and oxygen atoms within water molecules engage, sharing electronic charge in a remarkable dance. This charge-sharing forms a complex three-dimensional ‘H-bond’ network, imparting liquid water with its extraordinary characteristics.

In 2000, archaeologists discovered the 300,000 to 400,000-year-old remains of three ancient elephants along with 87 stone tools at the Pampore in the Kashmir Valley, India. In a new paper in the journal Quaternary Science Reviews, researchers describe their discovery of elephant bone flakes which suggests that hominins struck the bones to extract marrow, an
Accelerating the Structuring of a Large-Scale and Stable Supply Chain of Low-Carbon Ammonia from Overseas TOKYO, Oct 23, 2024 - (JCN Newswire) - Idemitsu Kosan ("Idemitsu") and Mitsubishi Corporation ("MC") have agreed to jointly study the efficient operation of clean ammonia carriers and transshipment terminals, participation in ExxonMobil’s planned low-carbon hydrogen and low-carbon ammonia production
