The notion of using hydrogen as a means to power everything from factories to your car may sound a bit futuristic but actually it has been around since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution – hydrogen powered the first internal combustion engine and has since become an integral component in the modern refining industry, as reported by the International Energy Agency (IEA). Many countries around the world, including here in Europe, are increasingly supporting initiatives and policies to scale up hydrogen technologies and embed them deeper into our energy and transport systems.

Concentrated solar power (CSP) plants rely on complex and expensive tracking systems to follow the sun and maximise conversion efficiency. Lots of little spherical ‘solar bowls’ that reflect the sun’s light perfectly without ever moving could do wonders for CSP cost and efficiency.

Bilingualism is known to have a strong impact on language development. Yet, there is still much to uncover. One such aspect relates to how bilinguals sharing one language will end up building their own grammar or dealing differently with so-called ‘grammatical illusions’.
