“Hydrogen can be the bridge to a decarbonized future. But we need to change how we approach its production and usage. Hydrosonics uses acoustics to control the chemistry of alkaline electrolysis electrodes. This gives us an ability to capture renewable electricity the way PEM electrolysis does, while also availing us of the benefits of alkaline electrolysis. It’s a breakthrough in electrolysis that enables the best of both systems and allows us to deploy small-scale electrolysis and capture curtailed renewable energy to turn it into hydrogen at a lower cost.”

“There hasn’t been a thrust to translate all the communication and navigation infrastructure that exists on Earth to anywhere else in the solar system—until now,” says Bijunath Patla, a theoretical physicist at the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) who has published research into the logistics of these efforts. “This is the time when people are thinking of such a leap in technology.” This leap is propelled by a surge of planned activity and exploration on the moon in the coming years that will demand sophisticated logistics, including the type of position, navigation, and timing (PNT) systems that underpin practically all of our infrastructure on Earth. The NASA-led Artemis Program aims to send astronauts on surface missions at the lunar south pole, a goal that necessitates reliable lines of communication and precision location services. China also plans to land crews on the moon this decade, and a host of other governmental and corporate entities are dispatching robotic explorers to the lunar surface in the near future.” (Wired)
