Because of the many environmental problems caused by the use of fossil fuels, many scientists worldwide are focused on finding efficient alternatives. Though high hopes have been placed on hydrogen fuel cells, the reality is that transporting, storing, and using pure hydrogen comes with a huge added cost, making this…

Most people realize our Sun is producing light and heat from the fusion of hydrogen into helium. However, the process of merging together hydrogen nuclei into helium is not as straightforward as it might seem. Typically, there are two processes by which smaller stars create fusion. The first of these,…

By Vanessa Dezem, Kati Pohjanpalo and Jesper Starn(Bloomberg) —Fortum Oyj is looking to divest its consumer business and pushing into renewables and hydrogen as the Finnish utility aligns its strategy with its newly acquired German power company Uniper SE.The joint plan comes eight months after Fortum secured majority ownership of…

In 2004, the Galaxy Evolution Explorer, an orbiting space telescope scanning distant groups of galaxies, found a bizarre object. Among other oddities, this body appeared to be blue, despite giving off no visible light. Careful observations showed the presence of a pair of rings within the body, earning it the…

For most of their existence, stars are fuelled by the fusion of hydrogen into helium. Fusion proceeds via two processes that are well understood theoretically: the proton-proton (p-p) chain and the carbon-nitrogen-oxygen (CNO) cycle. Neutrinos that are emitted along such processes in the solar core are the only direct probe…

REUTERS/Guglielmo MangiapaneMILAN (Reuters) - Italian gas group Snam aims to be carbon neutral by 2040 and will increase spending to get its network ready for hydrogen and the transition to cleaner energy…

A zero-carbon supplement to wind and solar Credit: Vanessa Branchi When hydrogen burns, the only by-product is water—which is why hydrogen has been an alluring zero-carbon energy source for decades. Yet the traditional process for producing hydrogen, in which fossil fuels are exposed to steam, is not even remotely zero-carbon.…

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — The U.S. Department of Energy has awarded just under $14 million for an attempt to build a hydrogen-energy production facility at a nuclear power plant in Minnesota with the help of a nuclear research lab in Idaho.Idaho National Laboratory and Minneapolis-based Xcel Energy will work on…
