Traveling to Finland for Lessons on Happiness

Baua Electric

Luka Balac, a co-owner of the zero-waste restaurant Nolla , gave me a list of local dishes (including licorice ice cream and savory rye-crusted Karelian pies) that would tie me back to nature. These activities each contained similar goals: Stay present and strive for a communal, minimalist lifestyle that relies on the earth.

Novel inexpensive cobalt-nickel electrode for efficient water and urea electrolysis; yolk-shell nanoparticles

Green Car Congress

Both half reactions of water electrolysis—hydrogen and oxygen evolution—are unfortunately slow and require a lot of power. The material can be used as either an anode or a cathode, and demonstrates high activity and stability in the production of hydrogen and oxygen in the electrolysis of water. Zhang, S.L., and Lou, X.W.
