A new fuel cell platform can now power data centers and factories without burning fossil fuels, running on hydrogen or biofuels with 75% efficiency. The technology works like a battery that never needs charging, converting fuel directly into electricity without harmful emissions.
University of Utah researchers discovered fuel cells can now clean themselves using steam, solving a major problem that has held back clean energy technology. The breakthrough could make pollution-free power generation work with everyday fuels.
Engineers at UNSW have cracked a major problem holding back hydrogen fuel cells, potentially unlocking clean energy for planes and trucks. Their simple redesign makes the cells 75% more powerful without adding cost.
Scientists in Canada and Germany discovered a simple but powerful solution to a water buildup problem that was limiting hydrogen fuel cells for trucks and planes. By designing cells to work with gravity, they've opened the door to cleaner long-haul transportation.
Australian scientists have cracked a major hydrogen fuel cell problem that could make clean-powered planes a reality. Their microscopic channel design prevents water buildup and delivers 75% more power than standard cells.
Researchers at the University of New South Wales have solved a major problem holding back hydrogen fuel cells, opening new possibilities for clean heavy transport and aviation. Their simple design change delivers dramatically more power while cutting costs.
Researchers just discovered a game-changing principle that could make hydrogen fuel cells cheaper and more efficient, potentially accelerating our shift to clean energy. The breakthrough challenges decades of assumptions about how the best catalysts actually work.
A massive data center in New Mexico will run entirely on hydrogen fuel cells instead of traditional power, slashing water use while creating thousands of jobs. Oracle is also investing hundreds of millions into local schools, infrastructure, and water systems across Doña Ana County.
Japanese researchers built a handheld reactor that generates electricity from hydrogen fuel, offering four times the energy density of lithium-ion batteries. The device heats to 600°C in five minutes but stays cool to touch, solving a major barrier to portable power.
A new stem cell transplant developed at Johns Hopkins has cured sickle cell disease in 95% of patients, using half-matched donors like parents or siblings. The breakthrough means nearly every sickle cell patient can now access a cure that also preserves fertility.
Children with sickle cell disease now have a survival rate exceeding 95% thanks to breakthrough stem cell transplant techniques. New treatments are also opening curative options for kids who previously had no donor matches.
LPG fuel costs half the price of petrol and produces fewer emissions, yet it's vanishing from Australian roads. Now some motorists are asking why this locally produced alternative isn't part of the conversation about fuel security.
Researchers are creating "virtual cells" using AI that could revolutionize how we understand disease and discover new treatments. These computer models simulate real cell behavior by learning from massive biological datasets.
Scientists in China have discovered how to turn a single stem cell into 14 million powerful cancer fighters, potentially making lifesaving treatment available to thousands more patients. The breakthrough slashes costs and could transform how we treat leukemia and other cancers.
Researchers at Kyoto University discovered how to selectively destroy senescent cells that fuel inflammation and age-related diseases. The breakthrough could lead to new therapies that help older adults maintain resilience and health.
Scientists just figured out how to transform carbon dioxide into clean energy using one of Earth's most common metals. This breakthrough could turn a greenhouse gas problem into a fuel solution.
A Houston company just cracked the code on turning landfill gas into clean jet fuel using light instead of fire. Their first commercial plant in Uruguay will cut aviation emissions by 90% while making fuel cheaper than the fossil version.
University of Wisconsin researchers found that cells can create "negative viscosity," essentially fueling their own movement by adding energy instead of losing it. This breakthrough could transform how we heal wounds and grow new tissues.
Researchers discovered brain cells may organize themselves using a surprisingly simple rule: stick close to your cellular relatives. This breakthrough could help explain how a single cell transforms into a functioning human brain.
Researchers in Brazil discovered a molecule that acts like armor for cancer cells, protecting them from natural cell death. By turning off this shield in the lab, they made aggressive tumor cells vulnerable again.
