- New form of compound stimulates research on hydrogen storage
12-04-2007 · EurekAlert!
Research on hydrogen-fueled cars may be one step closer to application thanks to a new form of hydride discovered by scientists at the ESRF. The material, lithium borohydride, is a promising energy storage system: it contains 18 weight percents of hydrogen, which makes it attractive for use in hydrogen-fueled cars. Its drawback is that it only releases hydrogen at temperatures above 300C. The team has found a new form of the compound that could possibly release hydrogen in mild conditions.

- Scientists find stem cell switch
07-26-2007 · EurekAlert!
Scientists have discovered how plant stem cells in roots detect soil structure and whether it is favourable for growth. Poor soil structure is a problem in tropical agriculture, where soil becomes compact as it dries out. Professor Liam Dolan, of the John Innes Centre in Norwich, UK and his team determined that the plant hormone ethylene regulates cell division in root stem cells.
