Hydrogen

News @andrew_andrew__ Dec 29, 2021, 3:26 pm EST | 1 min read Hyundai Hyundai is one of the last major automakers still clinging to the idea of traditional vehicles and weird hydrogen-powered cars. But it now seems that Hyundai is reversing its attitude. In just one week, the company appears…

During the pre-season test in Valencia last month, Formula E released the first teaser images of its delta wing-inspired Gen3 design that will have 470bhp and a total regenerative braking capacity of 600kW. The new rules will begin in the 2022-23 season and while private testing from car constructor Spark…

The palladium nanoparticles (green) are stabilized by a core of iridium (red). Hydrogen can accumulate on their surface like a kind of chocolate glaze—and can be released again by heating.

An analysis of the Hayabusa-2 sample of material returned to Earth from the carbon-rich, diamond-shaped, near-Earth asteroid Ryugu shows that the material is very dark, reflecting only 2% of light, porous and similar to clay, contains carbonates (a fraction of them enriched in iron) as well as compounds rich in…

The solar wind, comprised of solar particles largely made of hydrogen ions, created water on the surface of dust grains carried on asteroids that smashed into the early Earth, according to a paper published in the journal Nature Astronomy. Daly et al. used atom probe tomography to directly observe an…

A few weeks ago, I argued that battery-electric vehicles are greener than fossil fuel or hydrogen where well-to-wheel emissions are concerned. But that is only part of the story, and many argue that, once you take battery production into account, BEVs don’t look so green. That’s not true, though. This…

The limited reservoir of fossils fuels and the ever-increasing threats of climate change have encouraged researchers to develop alternative technologies to produce eco-friendly fuels. Green hydrogen generated from the electrolysis of water using renewable electricity is considered a next-generation renewable energy source for the future. But in reality, the overwhelming…
