Hydrogen fuel cells, which could find applications from vehicles to backup power supplies, suffer from one important drawback – expense. Current mass-produced hydrogen fuel cell catalysts employ a small amount of platinum to sustain the reaction necessary to generate electricity from hydrogen. Most importantly, platinum is non-corroding, which helps the fuel cell last a long […]

Intentionally disregarding what else may happen as a consequence to global warming, a team of researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute in Denkmark has calculated the effects of global warming on sea levels alone. The team predicted them for the long run: until 2100 and 2500. Of course, currently modern times will be to people […]
