Australian startup Hysata, which says it has developed the world’s most efficient electrolyzer, has raised A$42.5 million ($29.4 million) in an oversubscribed Series A funding round. The money will be used to develop the company’s team and “develop a pilot manufacturing facility” for the innovative “capillary” technology, which it says will be able to deliver “the world’s lowest-cost green hydrogen” due to its superior efficiency. . In simple terms, the biggest element of the levelised cost of green hydrogen (LCOH) is the cost of renewable electricity used, so that less power is required for the electrolyzer to produce every kilogram of H 2 the lower the LCOH. Hysata says the capillary-fed electrolyzer (CFE) only requires 41.5 kWh of electricity per kg of hydrogen. The industry benchmark for highly efficient electrolyzers is 50kWh/kg. “Hysata’s electrolyzers operate at 95% system efficiency (41.5 kWh/kg), delivering a huge ...

Pollination is a hallmark of flowering plants, with animal pollinators such as bees and birds sustaining the world’s food supply – not to mention our cravings for coffee, honey and macadamia nuts. But new research raises the possibility that animal-assisted pollination may have appeared in the ocean long before plants moved ashore. The study, carried out by a research group based in France and Chile, is the first to document a species of seaweed that relies on tiny marine crustaceans speckled in pollen-like spores to reproduce. Since red algae Gracilaria gracilis evolved long before land plants appeared, the researchers say their research suggests animal-assisted pollination could have occurred about 650 million years ago in the oceans once a suitable pollinator appeared. On land in flowering plants and gymnosperms that have seeds, the male reproductive cells, or gametes, fly in the form of pollen grains, which are carried by the wind, through the water, or by surprise insects, t...

Unsealed court documents show Amber Heard abandoned divorce payments from Johnny Depp that could run into the tens of millions of dollars, as the struggling actress sold her beloved California home. Documents seen by the Daily Beast show that the Aquaman star, 36, ignored guidance from his legal team not to pursue Depp for the maximum cash he was entitled to after they filed for divorce in 2016. He could have asked for half of the $33 million Depp he made to shoot the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean film, because it was made while they were married. But Heard chose not to, and wrote to them an email saying he was ‘very true to his word, that it’s now about money.’ A judge refused to allow the evidence to be accepted during Depp’s defamation lawsuit against Heard. He was ordered to pay Depp a total of $8.3 million after being found guilty of defamation, but said he did not have enough money to do so. Amber Heard appears to have sold her Southern California ...

“I was like, yeah, this is it,” Hembrow said. “This is what I will do. my own boss. I want to start my own business. “It was the only class that made sense to me. And then I actually dropped out of uni. I was like, ‘See you later, no need for this anymore.’ ” It was while studying that she posted a photo of herself working out on Instagram, which was only about a few years old when she posted in 2012. Then, at 19, she got pregnant. He was told that his life was ruined. ‘So much influence’ Tammy Hembrow built her 10-year fitness empire from an initial $400 investment. Paul Harris Hembrow had other ideas. She posted her pregnancy and fitness journey on Instagram and more followers flocked.

More than half a billion years ago, Earth experienced a near-complete collapse of its magnetic field. It begins in the early Cambrian period. Then, after a period of about 15 million years, the field began to grow again. The cause of the collapse and the reflection of the field is a mystery. Then, a group of geologists studied the rocks from Oklahoma that formed during that time. Magnetic markers in rock minerals point to events that began about 550 million years ago. That was before multicellular life was introduced on our planet. Look Deep Into The Core To understand what’s going on, look at the structure of our planet. Most of us learned in school that the Earth is made up of layers. There’s a crust, where you’re sitting reading this now. Beneath it is the mantle, the thickest layer of the earth. It lies above the molten outer core, which surrounds the solid inner core. The inner core has two parts—the outermost inner core and the innermost core. The cor...

“We buy first and then sell, which is a bit stressful in a falling market, but it worked out well,” he said. “It’s great to give our house over to another family with kids.” Four of the five registered bidders competed for the house, but needed a few pushes to start bidding. Credit: Peter Rae Sales agent William Pereira, from Adrian William, had been expecting seven buyers, but two came out at the last minute, deciding to watch the auction from the sidelines. Pereira said news of rising interest rates and falling prices had made buyers a little more cautious in their approach, but noted there was still good buyer demand. White predicts it will be his strongest auction of the day, with only one or two bidders expected at the other three auctions he calls on Saturday. “It’s great to have such a strong offering … that’s rare nowadays,” he said. While rising interest rates put downward pressure on prices, as it affects buyers’ borrowing...

South Australia’s wine exports have fallen by $300 million since the 2020-21 financial year – but still managed to hit a value of $1.431 billion in the 12 months to June 30. Image: Tom Aldahn/InDaily While the 21 percent drop in value was a major blow to one of the state’s largest export industries, the 21-22 financial year figure was up $33 million in the 12 months to March this year and $55 million in calendar year 2021. Eight of the top 10 export destinations by value also increased, with only Canada and Hong Kong recording declines. By volume, South Australia’s wine exports fell nine percent to 371 million liters, mainly driven by a decline in exports to China of 30 million liters compared to the previous year. Red wine accounts for more than 80 percent of SA’s wine exports by value and more than 70 percent by volume. South Australia typically produces about half of Australia’s annua...

The 740-square-meter property is a rare opportunity to secure a flat block with city views in the peninsula enclave, Bagala said. Records show the house last traded for £4650 in 1956. Although the market was not as vibrant as before, blue chip properties were still selling at the same level as last year, Bagala added. Auction Troy Malcolm prepares to sell the house.

“Buyers are really waiting to see who else might be out there and what they have to offer,” Saad said. “They thought that delaying might give them a little more power in the negotiations afterwards.” The house in Melbourne’s west is one of 630 auctions scheduled across the city on Saturday. In the evening, Domain Groups recorded an initial clearance rate of 55.0 percent of the 451 reported results, while 68 auctions were cancelled. Drawn auctions are counted as unsold properties when calculating clearance levels. The Maidstone House isn’t the only one passing by and selling later on the weekend. A three-bedroom terrace at 108 Roseberry Street, Ascot Vale passed, then sold for $1.2 million in reserve after auction. Nelson Alexander Ascot Vale sales agent Josh Calendar said two bidders were competing and one made a strong bid while the other tried to slow down the process by making a $1000 bid. The property made a bid of $1.18 million, before quick ...

About 385 million years ago during the Late Devonian period, a fish walked from the water to the shore in search of a new home. The fins are strong enough to move on land. Thus began the history of vertebrates on land. Fast forward to 2004 in the Canadian Arctic Islands in the Nunavut Region, where researchers found two fossils about a kilometer apart. One came from the specimen that came to be known as Tiktaalik roseae (pronounced tick-TA-lick) . The others resemble teenagers Tiktaalik , especially from the appearance of his jaw. But nearly 20 years after its discovery, paleontologists suspect it was something else entirely. Researchers from the University of Chicago and Drexel University recently published a study in the journal Natural where they describe a new fish species that may have preceded Tiktaalik . What’s new – Researchers now ascribe the second fossil to a new fish species they call Qikiqtania wake up . Pronounced “kick-kiq-TA-nee-ah,” the s...
