On the path to metallic hydrogen
Hydrogen, the most common element in the universe, is normally an insulating gas, but at high pressures it may turn into a superconductor.   view more (2009-08-04)

High-tech sieve sifts for hydrogen
Whether it's used in chemical laboratories or the fuel tanks of advanced automobiles, hydrogen is mostly produced from natural gas and other fossil fuels.   view more (2006-02-06)

A promising step towards more effective hydrogen storage
An international research team led by Swedish Professor Rajeev Ahuja, Uppsala University, has demonstrated an atomistic mechanism of hydrogen release in magnesium nanoparticles - a potential hydrogen storage material. The findings have been published in the online edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (PNAS).   view more (2008-06-17)

Using microbes to fuel the US hydrogen economy
The focus on hydrogen as a future fuel source is compelling given dwindling supplies of oil and natural gas, as well as escalating costs and the fact that burning fossil fuels releases large amounts of carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse" gas, into the atmosphere.   view more (2006-09-13)

Researchers Plan to Connect Petrol Stations to Natural Gas Supply to Fuel Hydrogen Powered Cars
Researchers at the University of Warwick's Warwick Process Technology Group are leading a programme called "Hydrofueler" to develop technology to connect petrol stations to the normal natural gas supply to fuel hydrogen powered vehicles. The 2.8 million euro EC funded three year research programme has already drawn interest from Exxon... view more... (2003-02-14)

Stuff of stink bombs investigated for role in pregnancy
Scientists at the University of Leicester are investigating how the stuff of stink bombs and flatulence could play a critical role in the human reproductive system.   view more (2009-07-21)

Pitt professor designs less-risky reactor for clean, safe energy
Reactors that burn hydrogen or natural gas to generate energy can be dirty and dangerous. The mix of air with hydrogen or natural gas can explode easily if composition and temperature are not carefully controlled. And reactors often produce polluting byproducts.   view more (2006-09-13)

Mystery of missing hydrogen
Something vital is missing in the far distant reaches of the Universe: hydrogen - the raw material for stars, planets and possible life.   view more (2008-11-24)

Hydrogen tank lighter than battery
Dutch-sponsored researcher Robin Gremaud has shown that an alloy of the metals magnesium, titanium and nickel is excellent at absorbing hydrogen.   view more (2008-11-05)

Discovery is a step towards pollution-free cars
Scientists have made a world-first discovery which is a step towards using environmentally-friendly hydrogen to power our cars.   view more (2004-10-13)

Algae could one day be major hydrogen fuel source
As gas prices continue to soar to record highs, motorists are crying out for an alternative that won't cramp their pocketbooks.   view more (2008-04-02)

Pellets of power designed to deliver hydrogen for tomorrow's vehicles
Hydrogen may prove to be the fuel of the future in powering the effi cient, eco-friendly fuel cell vehicles of tomorrow.   view more (2007-08-22)

From galaxy collisions to star birth: ISO finds the missing link
Data from ISO, the infrared observatory of the European Space Agency (ESA), have provided the first direct evidence that shock waves generated by galaxy collisions excite the gas from which new stars will form. The result also provides important clues on how the birth of the first stars was triggered and speeded up in the early Universe. By... view more... (2005-03-29)

UCLA researchers solve decade-old mystery
Environmentally friendly hydrogen gas fueled vehicles can dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lessen the country's dependence on sources of fossil fuel. Though several hydrogen vehicles exist on the market today, there is still much room for improvement in the way that hydrogen is stored on-board the vehicle.   view more (2008-02-27)

Hydrogen storage can be improved
The storage of hydrogen in fuel cell powered cars can probably be greatly improved by increasing the working temperature of the fuel cell. With the use of magnesium powder, the storage of hydrogen can take place more efficiently and safely and at a higher temperature. This is the conclusion of Gijs Schimmel, who will defend his PhD thesis at TU... view more... (2005-01-26)

Closing the hydrogen economic loop
The inventor of the nickel metal hydride (NiMH) technology used for building batteries for countless portable electronic gadgets and now hybrid gas-electric cars believes the hydrogen economy is already upon us.   view more (2008-07-21)

New hydrogen-storage method discovered
Scientists at the Carnegie Institution have found for the first time that high pressure can be used to make a unique hydrogen-storage material.   view more (2009-11-23)

Tiny fuel cell might replace batteries in laptop computers, portable electronics
If you're frustrated by frequently losing battery power in your laptop computer, digital camera or portable music player, then take heart: A better source of "juice" is in the works.   view more (2006-09-13)

Research advances understanding of how hydrogen fuel is made
Oxygen may be necessary for life, but it sure gets in the way of making hydrogen fuel cheaply and abundantly from a family of enzymes present in many microorganisms.   view more (2005-10-06)

Genetically engineered blood protein can be used to split water into oxygen and hydrogen
Scientists have combined two molecules that occur naturally in blood to engineer a molecular complex that uses solar energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen.   view more (2006-12-01)
