$500 M Wind-Powered Ships Could Transform Green Hydrogen Production
45+ min ago (1128+ words) Green hydrogen could play a major role in cutting emissions from heavy industry, shipping, and aviation. However, producing it remains expensive because it requires large amounts of renewable electricity and costly infrastructure. A new project aims to change that. UK-based…...
Benzene Formation On Interstellar Dust Grain Analogues Via Single-Atom Fe Catalysis
7+ hour, 48+ min ago (173+ words) [MRAS] Benzene has been detected across a range of astrophysical environments, though the primary mechanism underpinning its formation has not yet been constrained and the extreme conditions of the interstellar medium often necessitate the need for grain-surface mediated reactions. However,…...
