Economic Production of Hydrogen from Microalgae

 
Hydrogen (H2) produced from water has great potential to be an environmentally friendly energy carrier of the future. However, the future application of hydrogen and other CO2-neutral sustainable fuels also requires the development of production methods that can contribute to the energy supply of tomorrow. Some unicellular green algae and cyanobacteria use light to break up water into hydrogen and oxygen. In cooperation with eight partners, KIT scientists are currently working on the development of highly efficient methods for hydrogen production from microalgae. The BMBF is funding the "HydroMicPro" project with a total of 2.1 million euros.

Why welding remains vital for today's manufacturers

 
Piping is critical to industrial operations across all spectrums, and welding is the process that protects the integrity of the pipes. Hospitals using medical gases, oil companies transporting their products, paper mills moving processing chemicals, even athletic facilities heating their fields in extreme temperatures, rely on the dependability of pipes and their welding. The welding process has been around for centuries, and continues to meet the intense challenges of gas, oil, water and many other industries.
One of the primary benefits of welding is its flexibility. Industrial plants can weld materials in one location, ship them to the facility for installation, and position them in various configurations. Flexibility is especially valuable in the repair process, as welders can crawl up in a pipe rack in a petrochemical plant, use a torch or some other cutting process to remove the bad section and make the repair. In the transportation of fuel and natural gas, repairs are time sensitive and are even made with products flowing.

Why car firms shouldn't design computers

 
If Mesh hadn't told us that BMW was involved, we'd never have known. The computer doesn't have kidney-shaped grilles, a Hofmeister kink or any other bits of BMW design DNA.
It's just a weirdly shaped PC case with a few glowing bits on it. BMW may have made some seriously stupid-looking cars in recent years, but compared to the Mesh they're masterpieces of restraint.
