Scientists develop bifunctional catalyst performance enhancement technology to lower the cost of hydrogen production

Researchers have developed a methodology to improve the reversibility and durability of electrodes using bifunctional platinum-nickel alloy catalysts with an octahedral structure that exhibits both oxygen reduction and generation reactions. The study is published in the journal Advanced Energy Materials. Bifunctional catalysts are a new generation of catalysts that simultaneously produce hydrogen and oxygen from […]

ADS-TEC: Decentralized battery storage platforms with ultra-fast DC charging

At the recently held Volta-Xchange in Stuttgart, ADS-TEC Energy presented its decentralized battery-based energy storage solutions that do not require the grid to be upgraded, also suitable for non-public charging infrastructure due to their ultra-fast DC charging capability. Citing a recent study by Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE and the Fraunhofer Institute for […]

VR headsets can be hacked with an Inception-style attack

In the Christoper Nolan movie Inception, Leonardo DiCaprio’s character uses technology to enter his targets’ dreams to steal information and insert false details into their subconscious. A new “inception attack” in virtual reality works in a similar way. Researchers at the University of Chicago exploited a security vulnerability in Meta’s Quest VR system that allows hackers […]
