Extreme solar explosions and weak magnetic fields threaten life on Earth

Extreme Solar Blasts And Weak Magnetic Fields Threaten Life On Earth

Recent studies have highlighted the catastrophic effects of extreme solar eruptions, especially when combined with a weakened magnetic field. These phenomena, which occur about once every thousand years, can significantly disrupt the Earth’s ozone layer, with serious consequences for all life on our planet. The protective role of the Earth’s magnetic field The Earth’s magnetic … Read more

Scientists propose converting natural gas directly into hydrogen in gas fields

The process of hydrogen production from gas fields. Credit: Mukhina et al. / Fuel, 2024 Researchers at Skoltech have found a way to produce hydrogen from natural gas with an efficiency of 45%, directly in the gas field, by injecting steam and a catalyst into a well and adding oxygen to ignite the gas.
