twin of the sun: Astronomers have found the Sun's long-lost twin. The star HIP 56948, considered to be the best solar twin, is about 200 light-years away. The mid-sized star is one of many in the Draco constellation and may be a billion years older than the middle-aged Sun

Scientists develop new method to store Hydrogen

hydrogen can now be conveniently used as fuel without the usual hassle of storage and distribution. Scientists have developed a method to produce hydrogen on the spot for internal combustion engines from an alloy of aluminum and gallium. The alloy GaAl28 with 28 per cent aluminum by weight, has the …

Hydrogen new buzzword

Frenzied developments on the energy front in India are indicative of the domestic automobile industry chasing us President George W Bush's hydrogen economy dream, which is thought to be more of a chimera. The industry, in collaboration with India's Union ministry of non-conventional energy sources (mnes), is planning to put …

Tiny reactors

the Indian nuclear establishment is about to embark on uncharted territory. In a bid to achieve its ever-elusive power generation targets, it now proposes to design and develop compact high-temperature reactors (chtrs) that can produce electricity as well as liberate hydrogen from water.
