A milestone has been reached in the quest to harness the power of the stars for cost-effective clean energy on Earth by scientists working to establish practical nuclear fusion.
Biomass gasification transforms biomass into hydrogen, nitrogen, and other products without burning it via a controlled process involving heat, steam, and oxygen. This article looks at this process in more detail and how it is being used to turn food waste into clean energy.

Citizen science is an important activity undertaken by volunteers and is useful for recording and monitoring observations such as climate change in the Earth’s recent geological history. Thousands of volunteers in the UK, organized by The Rainfall Rescue project at Reading University in Berkshire, have transferred handwritten rainfall information into a computer record, providing an accurate summary of UK rainfall between 1836 and 2021.
