Tu Graz opens Europe’s best hydrogen electrolysis testing centre
Austria has made a bold leap towards a climate-neutral future by launching a hydrogen electrolysis test centre on Tu Graz’s campus Inffeldgasse. This cutting-edge facility is the first in the country and a major milestone in the country’s hydrogen strategy. The hydrogen electrolysis center, spanning 250 square meters, has a total power output ranging from […]
Innovation in bio-based fertilizer production from waste streams
RELEAF aims to produce controlled release bio-based fertilizers from alternative sources common in Europe, demonstrating agricultural potential and generating new circulation business models. The European agriculture sector relies heavily on imported non-renewable fertilizers, making food production vulnerable to supply chain disruption and rising costs. At the same time, excessive use of fertilizers contributes to environmental […]
Green hydrogen production from “dirty” water
The Anemel project recently achieved a major breakthrough in the light-like form of sustainable production of green hydrogen from low-quality water sources. Green hydrogen has great potential for a trip to Net Zero. However, traditional production methods for this prove to be long, expensive and inefficient. Now, researchers are looking for new ways to produce […]
Bacteria that kill the material creates an antibacterial coating
New antibacterial coatings created by scientists are being used in testing new paints that can be applied to a variety of surfaces to effectively kill bacteria and viruses, including species that are difficult to kill species such as MRSA, influenza, and Covid-19. Scientists at the University of Nottingham Pharmacy have tried out a new paint […]
China announces plans to build a nuclear reactor on the moon
As global interest in lunar exploration intensifies, China is drawing an ambitious path to the moon. This involves the construction of a nuclear reactor on the surface of the moon. This bold initiative is part of a joint effort with Russia to develop the International Moonlight Research Institute (ILRS), a long-term scientific prepost base near […]
Investigating the causes of microplastic retention in streams
A team of researchers investigated how stream content and flow affect microplastic retention. These small plastic particles found in everyday products ranging from face washes to toothpaste are new threats to health and ecology, urging teams to identify what affects microplastic retention in river ecosystems. Daily actions such as synthetic clothing and driving that wear […]
Aurora Supercomputer accelerates the discovery of cancer treatments
At the forefront of the war against cancer, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory are leveraging one of the world’s most powerful tools, the Aurora supercomputer. With unprecedented processing power, Aurora has been used to supercharge artificial intelligence (AI) and high performance computing (HPC), discovering effective cancer treatments, particularly for forms […]
Converting AI Lithium Plating Detection EV Battery Safety
As electric vehicles (EVs) become more mainstream, lithium-ion batteries remain under the spotlight, not only for performance but also for safety. The hidden challenge known as lithium plating threatens both. Although EVs offer a greener alternative to traditional cars, microscopic accumulation of lithium metal during charging can quietly extend battery life and, in extreme cases, […]
How do satellites withstand the harsh conditions of space?
Satellites can withstand extreme temperatures, radiation, microintestinal muscle-style impacts and violent launches. Their survival depends on careful engineering, materials science and component protection tailored to each mission stage. Most people know that satellites orbit the Earth. The harsh truths of these machinery journeys and survival in space are not generally understood. Space is a vast, […]
WHO Pandemic Agreement strengthens one health approach
The World Animal Health Organization (WOAH) welcomes the groundbreaking conclusions of the pandemic agreement negotiations, a decisive and historic step towards strengthening global health architectures through multilateral cooperation. The WHO Pandemic Agreement has been confirmed amidst the backdrop of sustained, emerging health threats such as bird flu, MPOX and Ebola, and will underscore the important […]
