Imagine you want to produce E-Fuels⚡⛽ but the power company does not want to sell you electricity⚡
That appears to be what potential E-Fuels producers faced in Iceland🇮🇸. The country uses 100% renewable electricity (hydro/geo) & could produce more.
Yet, Iceland's electricity producer Landsvirkjun does not have enough electricity⚡. Building new plants is delayed by slow permitting 📝. Landsvirkjun has therefore set out priorities.

Iceland's E-Fuels Controversy
Hydrogen and E-Fuels companies want to utilize Iceland's abundant renewable energy sources. But Iceland's largest energy company Landsvirkjun does not want to sell electricity to them. E-Fuels producers hope that European authorities will intervene, the EFTA Surveillane Authority investigates.

In a laboratory setting, humans have accelerated particles — protons, antiprotons, electrons, and positrons — to incredibly high energies: up to the TeV (trillions of electron-volts) scale.

But cosmic rays, also including protons, electrons, and other atomic nuclei, are produced up to far greater energies, at the PeV (quadrillions of electron-volts) scale and beyond.

These very high energy cosmic rays are produced somewhere in our own galaxy:
in natural, astrophysical…

Astronomers close in on the source of the highest energy particles
On Earth, our particle accelerators can reach tera-electron-volt (TeV) energies. Particles from space are thousands of times as energetic.

Ocean currents can generate electricity, and our study shows Africa's seas have some of the strongest
The world's oceans cover more than 70% of Earth's surface. They're filled with currents, some much stronger than the fastest flowing large rivers. These currents can be harnessed as clean, marine renewable energy. Marine energy is much more predictable and reliable than many other forms of renewable energy because unlike the sun and wind, which regularly do not produce electricity, ocean currents never stop moving around the planet. New research has found that the eastern and south-eastern coas…

Zahlen der IEA: Weltweit fährt jeder vierte Neuwagen elektrisch
Die Internationale Agentur sagt weiter starkes Wachstum für Elektroautos voraus, obwohl das Interesse in Europa lahmt und in den USA zurückfällt. Laut der Prognose schrumpft die Ölnachfrage bald spürbar.

Topological impact of nanopore electrodes on the structure of the electrical double layer and the di erential capacitance
The electrical double layer for three different topologies of nanopore electrodes is studied, i.e., the interior and exterior electrical double layers of planar, cylindrical and spherical nanopores immersed into a point-ions electrolyte, and not connected to a power source, are analytically attained through the linearized Poisson-Boltzmann equation.

YDS Dean Greg Sterling on the election of the new Pope.
======
The election of Pope Leo XIV is a significant moment. Candidly, I did not think that I would see an American pope in my lifetime. I hope that the surprise of his election bodes well for the ways he will lead. Many of the cardinals (ca. 80%) who voted for the pope were appointed by Pope Francis. I hope that Leo will continue the work of Francis.

Jack Ciattarelli, a former state legislator endorsed by Donald Trump won the Republican nomination quickly Tuesday evening. 
Rep. Mikie Sherrill, a former Navy pilot and federal prosecutor, won on the Democratic side, beating out five competitors.
New Jersey is one of two states, along with Virginia, hosting a high-stakes gubernatorial contest this year. 

New Jersey primaries: Trump-backed Ciattarelli wins GOP nod; Sherrill wins Dem nomination
Trump has jumped into the Garden State race, one of two gubernatorial elections this year that could serve as a pre-midterms referendum.
