Australian researchers have found a new way to safely separate, store and transport large amounts of gas that could be the missing piece of the puzzle for renewable hydrogen. The number of renewable hydrogens is huge in Australia’s net zero emissions plan – particularly in the hard-to-decarbonise industrial and heavy transport sectors. But storing and transporting large amounts of gas for practical applications remains a major challenge. A team from Deakin University’s Institute for Frontier Materials (IFM) in Melbourne says it has found a new mechanochemical way to separate and store gases, which is safe, uses less energy than traditional methods and produces no waste. The team said the breakthrough, detailed in the journal Materials Today, was a departure from accepted wisdom on gas separation and storage and had to be repeated 20 to 30 times before it could be trusted. “We were very surprised to see this happen, but every time we kept getting the exact same results, it was a eur

Biology is rich in patterns. You’ll find them everywhere – from the number of petals (which generally correspond to the number in the Fibonacci sequence), to the number of vertebrae in mammals (giraffes, humans, and quokkas all have seven neck vertebrae). In fact, many viruses follow patterns and have symmetry in their shells. Mathematics is essentially the science of patterns. Patterns can be subtle. So without using math to formally explain and understand it, we can skip it entirely. For a long time, biological research has largely progressed without the sophisticated mathematical modeling that is now at the core of physics, engineering, and climate. But this is changing. Mathematical biology is a growing field that promises to revolutionize microbiology, biotechnology, evolutionary biology and healthcare. With mathematics, scientific breakthroughs that previously required years of trial and error (and tons of trash) can be achieved in a very short time. Here are some of the r
