UK consortium awarded £7.7 million to develop hydrogen storage using depleted uranium

Green Car Congress

The consortium includes the University of Bristol, EDF UK, UKAEA and Urenco. When stored, the hydrogen is in a stable but reversible metal hydride form. The hydride compounds that we’re using can chemically store hydrogen at ambient pressure and temperature but remarkably they do this at twice the density of liquid hydrogen.

Stuart Parkin Revolutionized Disk Drive Storage

Cars That Think

For massive datasets to be of use, they must be stored somehow. Spintronics can make them more energy-efficient, faster to access data, or capable of storing huge amounts of information. Superconductors and magnetic disk drives Parkin holds a Humboldt professorship at Martin Luther University , also in Halle.
