US researchers have started studying hydrogen formation in the Midcontinent Rift in the United States, while Dutch scientists have discovered that hydrogen emissions from industrial complexes are higher than previously estimated. October 18, 2024 Sergio Matalucci University of Nebraska-Lincoln researchers are studying a rift running from beneath Lake Superior through parts of Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin
Hydrogen power is emerging as a transformative force in South Africa’s clean energy landscape, offering a sustainable alternative to the country’s coal-dependent electricity grid. As the world shifts towards greener energy, South Africa is embracing hydrogen hybrid technology, which enhances fuel efficiency and significantly reduces carbon emissions. This innovation has the potential to create jobs
It’s not a converted industrial warehouse in Brooklyn. Or a stately, century-old building in the Flatiron. But YC-backed Regalii’s atypical office location up in the Dominican-heavy Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan has given it plenty of insights into its working-class immigrant customer base. The startup, co-founded by several Latino founders who personally knew the hassles of sending money home
One of the most sought-after, but never quite dominated, frontiers in online media and marketplaces has been centered on local communities. There have been many attempts, most famously and disastrously with AOL’s Patch effort, and there are some very promising platforms like Nextdoor, which raised more than $100 million earlier this year. But hyperlocal marketplaces and media
In response to calls for stronger action on hosts that aren’t casual users, Airbnb said it would start sharing some data with governments and getting hosts to agree to a policy of listing only their permanent homes. Here’s what Brian Chesky said in a post today: Today, we’re taking the next step to turn these principles into

October 17, 2024, by Naida Hakirevic Prevljak A consortium of partners is looking to establish an essential hub for low-carbon hydrogen and CO2 management in the Mediterranean within Port-La Nouvelle in France. On September 20, 2024, a memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed between the Occitanie Region, DEME Concessions NV, Euroports and Teréga. The ambitious
Gliese 229B was the first known brown dwarf, discovered in 1995. In new research, astronomers observed Gliese 229 B with the GRAVITY interferometer and, separately, the CRIRES+ spectrograph at ESO’s Very Large Telescope. Both sets of observations independently resolved Gliese 229B into two components, Gliese 229 Ba and Bb. They orbit each other every 12.1 days with a semimajor axis of
