Researchers have integrated AI with standard headphones to isolate the voice of a single speaker in a noisy crowd simply by looking at them. The code for this advanced noise-cancelling system is freely available for anyone interested in building their own version. Hearing one person in a crowded, noisy environment where many people are talking […]

Hysata guarantees the world’s most affordable hydrogen with a groundbreaking device that splits water into H2 and O2 at 95% efficiency, which is about 20% more efficient than the top conventional electrolyzers. The company has secured US$111 million to expand production.
Hydrogen production typically wastes 20-30% of renewable energy, contributing to high costs. Australian company Hysata’s capillary-fed electrolyzer offers 95% efficiency, using only 41.5 kWh of energy to create a kilogram of hydrogen. This reduces operational costs for hydrogen producers and CAPEX, making it the cheapest green hydrogen available.
