Home Subsea TSO quartet moving forward with €3.5 billion subsea cable link between four countries to bring green energy to Europe With energy security becoming increasingly entangled in geopolitical tensions, fears continue to grow about the dangers that lie in wait, as countries seek new ways to strengthen and diversify their energy mix while also

Around 3,000-7,000 hunter-gatherers on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus hunted endemic dwarf hippopotamus (Phanourios minor) and dwarf elephants (Palaeoloxodon cypriotes) to extinction within less than 1,000 years, according to new research led by Flinders University.

In a new study on the UK Biobank cohort, habitual coffee or caffeine consumption, especially at a moderate level, was associated with a lower risk of new-onset cardiometabolic multimorbidity, which refers to the coexistence of at least two cardiometabolic diseases. Lu et al. found that regular coffee or caffeine intake, especially at moderate levels, was

The Horned Serpent panel at La Belle France in the Free State province of South Africa was painted by the San people at least two hundred years ago. It pictures, among many other elements, a tusked animal with a head that resembles that of a dicynodont, the fossils of which are abundant and conspicuous in

(1888PressRelease) September 18, 2024 - Cavriago, RE - Landi Renzo Group, a global leader in components for natural gas and hydrogen pressure management in the Mobility and Infrastructure sectors, will make its first appearance

Environment Making hydrogen from seawater can be tricky because the salt is corrosive and the process can create toxic chlorine gas – new electrodes can split ocean water to make the clean fuel more easily By James Dinneen Facebook / Meta Twitter / X icon Linkedin Reddit Email Seawater could be a source of clean

Alhassan Dantata, an energy expert, said green hydrogen is the world’s last chance to transition to clean energy The executive vice chairman of SIDIL Energy Alternatives Limited envisioned Africa becoming a major energy exporter, supplying power to Europe via submarine cables However, Dantata noted that overcoming tribalism and religious divisions, which he identified as Africa’s

Breakup of an asteroid passing within Earth’s Roche limit likely formed the debris ring during the middle Ordovician period, according to new research from Monash University. Tomkins et al. suggest that a large chondrite asteroid had a near miss encounter with Earth 466 million years ago, which caused it to break up as it passed

In the Standard Model of particle physics, the masses of the carriers of the weak interaction, the W and Z bosons, are uniquely related. Physics beyond the Standard Model can change this relationship through the effects of virtual particle quantum loops, thus making it of paramount importance to measure these masses with the highest possible

Primordial black holes are one of the strongest candidates for the Universe’s dark matter. In this scenario, their abundance would be large enough for at least one object to cross through the inner Solar System per decade. A flyby like this would introduce a wobble into Mars’ orbit, to a degree that today’s technology could
