A study in Nature Synthesis has identified a hidden accelerator inside hydrogen-based metal production. Researchers led by the Max Planck Institute for Sustainable Materials found that adding nickel oxide to iron oxide can make hydrogen-driven reduction at least twice as fast, while also forming a useful iron-nickel alloy in the same process. The finding matters…
A study in Communications Earth & Environment has found that China’s most severe water erosion clusters along the Hu Line, a famous 1935 boundary that still captures one of the country’s deepest geographic divides. The study used national soil-loss modeling from 2000 to 2020 to show where land is washing away fastest and why the…
