Scientists at Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU) have developed a unique technology to obtain a promising material: high-purity cubic tungsten carbide, which will be able to replace expensive platinum catalysts and reduce the cost of producing hydrogen fuel. Hydrogen is widely used in oil refining and fertiliser production. It is also a promising environmentally friendly fuel that produces clean water when burned. Hydrogen production cost directly affects […]
In May, the UK Government’s Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage) seemed to have been sidelined, with an expanded Joint Biosecurity Centre taking on a prominent role in co-ordinating the coronavirus response.
