University of Iowa researchers have found that smoke resulting from spring agricultural land-clearing fires in Central America and transported across the Gulf of Mexico intensified tornado conditions already in process in the United States. In fact, the simulation including the smoke resulted in a lowered cloud base and greater wind shear.

Future development efforts will focus on increasing the currents and photovoltages beyond 1.5V. Our teams at the University of California, Santa Barbara and at the University of Iowa have been working diligently to achieve efficient renewable hydrogen production. HyperSolar, Inc. announced that it had reached 1.25 V (at 25 °C at pH 0).
