Subaru is back with a new EV. Like its predecessor, Solterra, the all-electric Trailseeker SUV has a bit of Toyota handiwork. Subaru of America revealed its 2026 trailseeker SUV at the New York International Auto Show on Wednesday. The second EV in the Japanese automaker’s portfolio looks familiar for its Subaru look. It is reminiscent of a gas-powered Subaru rise, but it is physically smaller. Others may see a bit of outback on Trailseeker.

Scientists are excited to use water splitting to create clean hydrogen fuels, but the process, in theory, requires more energy. A team from Northwestern University discovered why water splitting is energy-intensive. Just before releasing oxygen, the water molecules surprisingly “invert” and use a lot of extra energy. After observing the water molecule flip, the team quantified the exact energy costs associated with its critical steps. They found that acrobatic acts are key contributors to the bottleneck of efficiency of water splitting. Yet another finding found that increasing the pH of water reduces energy costs, which contributes to making the process…
