Anticipating strong demand, French automotive suppliers are setting up factories to produce tens of thousands of fuel cells over the next few years.

The hydrogen vehicle market expects exponential growth: 200,000 cars in 2025 and up to 2 million in 2030. These forecasts call for a massification of production on-board fuel cells (PaC) that will convert the hydrogen in the tank into electricity for the engine. In France, equipment manufacturers Plastic Omnium and Faurecia are embarking on industrialization. In March 2021, the former finalized its joint venture with Germany’s ElringKlinger to prepare for mass production of PEM (proton exchange membrane) technology PaCs. Called Ekpo Fuel Cell Technologies, this entity 60% owned by ElringKlinger and 40% by Plastic Omnium aims to capture 15% of the global fuel cell market by 2030.

It turns out basking sharks are a more complex puzzle, Western biology professor Paul Mensink…

CERN Physicists Probe Nature of Mysterious Particle

Since its discovery 20 years ago physicists have been fascinated by χc1(3872), which is also known as X(3872), trying to understand if it is a conventional charmonium state composed of two quarks or if it is an exotic particle composed of four quarks. Now, the LHCb Collaboration at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is closer

Killing Even Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria: A New Infection-Fighting Wound Spray

The antibacterial material, with peptides bound to hydrogel particles, works even in contact with body fluids such as blood. It can be sprayed directly into wounds without impairing healing or applied as a coating to catheters and implants to prevent infection, and to fight even multi-resistant bacteria.
