MIT researchers have developed a new way to extract pure hydrogen gas from ammonia and other hydrogen carrier molecules. Their strategy, which uses electricity to speed up the extraction, reduces the temperature and energy required to recover hydrogen from these molecules.

In a new study, MIT researchers have shown that “pink noise,” delivered at the right time during the sleep cycle, can strengthen the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, which clears debris from the brain and keeps it healthy.

MIT researchers found that in extremely acidic conditions, such as those in Venus’ clouds, short peptides can remain stable and fold into shapes that may allow them to have biological functions.

To make qubits more reliable, researchers developed a new design that includes two separate but connected components: one which stores data and one which reaches out like an arm to interact with every other part of the quantum circuit.
