| Solar hydrogen for Antarctica: Advantages of thermally coupled approach Posted: 02 Jul 2021 12:43 PM PDT Their conclusion: in extremely cold regions, it can be considerably more efficient to attach the PV modules directly to the electrolyser, i.e. to thermally couple them. This is because the waste heat from the PV modules increases the efficiency of electrolysis in this environment. The results of this study are also relevant for other cold regions on Earth, such as Alaska, Canada, and high mountain regions, for example. In these places, solar hydrogen could replace fossil fuels such as oil and petrol. |
| After routing de Soto, Chickasaws repurposed Spanish objects for everyday use Posted: 02 Jul 2021 12:43 PM PDT Archaeologists have unearthed a rare trove of more than 80 metal objects in Mississippi thought to be from Hernando de Soto's 16th-century expedition through the Southeast. Many of the objects were repurposed by the resident Chickasaws as household tools and ornaments, an unusual practice at a time when European goods in North America were few and often reserved for leaders. |
| A globally important microbial process hidden on marine particles Posted: 02 Jul 2021 12:43 PM PDT Nitrogen is essential for all life on Earth. In the global oceans however, this element is scarce, and nitrogen availability is therefore critical for the growth of marine life. Some bacteria found in marine waters can convert nitrogen gas (N2) to ammonia (known as N2 fixation), and thereby supply the marine food web with nitrogen. |
| Solving a long-standing mystery about the desert's rock art canvas Posted: 02 Jul 2021 12:42 PM PDT Petroglyphs are carved in a material called rock varnish, the origins of which have been debated for years. Now, scientists argue it's the result of bacteria and an adaptation that protects them from the desert sun's harsh rays. |
