Water from Earth’s atmosphere may be raining onto the Moon

The Moon may look like a big dry ball, but there’s more water up there than you might expect. In a new study, scientists have shown that at least some of it could have been showered onto the lunar surface from the Earth’s atmosphere.Continue ReadingCat… Continue reading Water from Earth’s atmosphere may be raining onto the Moon

Hypersonic space cannon promises 10 minutes from ground to orbit

Rockets are expensive, complex, bad for the environment and prone to occasionally exploding – so alternative launch technologies are popping up to reduce their use. We wrote about SpinLaunch’s remarkable kinetic launch system earlier this week, which s… Continue reading Hypersonic space cannon promises 10 minutes from ground to orbit

Chase Zero catamaran to bring a dash of hydrogen to the America’s Cup

Mindful of the significant carbon emissions generated by the marine industry, America’s Cup reigning champion Emirates Team New Zealand has been developing a hydrogen-powered chase boat, and has now taken it out for its first spin. The Chase Zero foili… Continue reading Chase Zero catamaran to bring a dash of hydrogen to the America’s Cup

Hydrogen 11 times worse than CO2 for climate, says new report

Hydrogen will be one of humanity’s key weapons in the war against carbon dioxide emissions, but it must be treated with care. New reports show how fugitive hydrogen emissions can indirectly produce warming effects 11 times worse than those of CO2.Conti… Continue reading Hydrogen 11 times worse than CO2 for climate, says new report

Record-breaking hydrogen electrolyzer claims 95% efficiency

A kilogram of hydrogen holds 39.4 kWh of energy, but typically costs around 52.5 kWh of energy to create via current commercial electrolyzers. Australian company Hysata says its new capillary-fed electrolyzer cell slashes that energy cost to 41.5 kWh, … Continue reading Record-breaking hydrogen electrolyzer claims 95% efficiency

World’s largest green H2 hub, Hydrogen City, to open in Texas in 2026

Hydrogen City will eventually harness 60 gigawatts of solar and wind energy, and use it to produce over 2.5 billion kilograms (2.4 million tons) of green hydrogen a year, keeping it underground in storage caverns at the Piedras Pintas salt dome before … Continue reading World’s largest green H2 hub, Hydrogen City, to open in Texas in 2026

Airbus building flying testbed to evaluate hydrogen combustion jet engine

Airbus, in partnership with CFM International (a joint company of GE and Safran Aircraft Engines), is developing an A380 flying testbed called the ZEROe Demonstrator to examine how hydrogen combustion can be used to power turbofan jet engines.Continue … Continue reading Airbus building flying testbed to evaluate hydrogen combustion jet engine

Extreme E race series makes a surprise tilt towards hydrogen

Formula E’s dirty little brother, Extreme E, only had its first race in 2021, but it’s already attracted drivers of the caliber of Jensen Button, Sebastian Loeb, Carlos Sainz and Nasser Al-Attiyah. It’s a single-make off-road race series, pitting all-e… Continue reading Extreme E race series makes a surprise tilt towards hydrogen
