Latest Hydrogen Stories

LONDON, April 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a recent survey, 72% of respondents said their employers viewed international experience as important or very important (63% last year). More professionals seek to add international experience to their CVs, and in an ever wider variety of locations. The research commissioned by global specialist recruiters Hydrogen Group was conducted by ESCP Europe. 94% of 2012 respondents are considering relocating or have already...

Researchers from the University of Arizona (UA) claim that they have found a way to observe the triatomic hydrogen ion believed to be the key element responsible for the formation of the first stars following the Big Bang. According to an article published to the UA News website on Wednesday, the molecule, which is known as H3+, is an ion that consists of three hydrogen atoms with just a pair of electrons to share between them, giving it a positive charge. It is believed to be the catalyst...

How hydrogen--the most abundant element in the cosmos--responds to extremes of pressure and temperature is one of the major challenges in modern physical science. Moreover, knowledge gleaned from experiments using hydrogen as a testing ground on the nature of chemical bonding can fundamentally expand our understanding of matter. New work from Carnegie scientists has enabled researchers to examine hydrogen under pressures never before possible. Their work is published online in Physical Review...

LIFE Hydrogen Water Machine Enhances the Antioxidant Benefits of Ionized Water with Molecular Hydrogen Carlsbad, CA (PRWEB) April 04, 2012 New for 2012, the LIFE Hydrogen Water Machine makes antioxidant ionized water with the added health benefits of hydrogen. Recent Studies by published by Medical Molecular Hydrogen Symposium shows that drinking hydrogen rich water can provide antioxidant health benefits that may prevent the symptoms of Brain diseases. Other health benefits attributed to...

Imagine being able to use electricity to power your car — even if it's not an electric vehicle. Researchers at the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science have for the first time demonstrated a method for converting carbon dioxide into liquid fuel isobutanol using electricity. Today, electrical energy generated by various methods is still difficult to store efficiently. Chemical batteries, hydraulic pumping and water splitting suffer from low energy-density storage...

The long-sought technology for enabling the fabled "hydrogen economy" — an era based on hydrogen fuel that replaces gasoline, diesel and other fossil fuels, easing concerns about foreign oil and air pollution — has been available for decades and could begin commercial production of hydrogen in this decade, a scientist reported here today. Speaking at the 243rd National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS), the world's largest scientific society, Ibrahim...

DALLAS, March 22, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Researchers at The University of Texas at Dallas and Virginia Tech have created an undersea vehicle inspired by the common jellyfish that runs on renewable energy and could be used in ocean rescue and surveillance missions. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120322/DC75382) In a study published this week in Smart Materials and Structures, scientists created a robotic jellyfish, dubbed Robojelly, that feeds off hydrogen...

Sometimes, solutions for hard problems can turn out to be pretty basic. That's especially true for a team of researchers at the Office of Science's Brookhaven National Laboratory (Brookhaven Lab), where the solution for a hard problem they were working on turned out to be pretty basic . . . and also a bit acidic. The hard problem they were working on was how to store hydrogen fuel. Hydrogen gas (H2) is a clean and powerful fuel, but it's also extremely light, which makes it difficult and...

Berkeley Lab scientists and their colleagues have discovered an unsuspected way that protons can move among molecules -- revealing new opportunities for research in biology, environmental science, and green chemistry When a proton – the bare nucleus of a hydrogen atom – transfers from one molecule to another, or moves within a molecule, the result is a hydrogen bond, in which the proton and another atom like nitrogen or oxygen share electrons. Conventional wisdom has it that proton...
