Scientists in Japan Create Sustainable Hydrogen Fuel from Water and Sunlight
Researchers in Japan have developed a new reactor that generates hydrogen fuel using sunlight and water. The system employs a two-step photocatalytic process, proving promising for clean energy production, though efficiency challenges remain. Researchers are working to improve the system’s performance and safety to scale up its application

Phosphorus Grains in Ryugu Samples Offer Insights into Earth’s Early Life Chemistry
Scientists have discovered phosphorus-rich grains in samples from the asteroid Ryugu, brought back by Japan’s Hayabusa2 mission. These grains, thought to have come from the outer Solar System, may have interacted with early Earth’s water, releasing essential nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen. This interaction could have played a role in th...

Ryugu Samples Are Most Contaminant-Free Outer Solar System Particles, Says Study
In an in-depth analysis conducted by a team of Japanese researchers at JAMSTEC (Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology), it is found that the Ryugu samples brought on Earth in December 2020 by the Japanese aircraft Hayabusa-2 are the most “uncontaminated” samples. This will help scientists get a crystal-clear insight into the chem...
