/FEATURED SUNSHINE IS TRANSFORMED INTO GREEN HYDROGEN ON AN AMBITIOUS SCALE: PROTOTYPE FACILITY SMASHES RECORD FOR CONVERTING SOLAR POWER TO HYDROGEN FOR ITS TECHNOLOGY CATEGORY It’s about to get real science-y, real quick, so buckle up. According to Nature Energy, researchers have successfully scaled up a photoelectrochemical device that co-generates hydrogen and heat from concentrated solar irradiation to a kW-scale pilot plant, achieving a solar-to-hydrogen device-level efficiency of more than 20% at a hydrogen production rate of over 2.0 kW. The pilot plant is a promising pathway to a sustainable fuel economy and chemical industry, and the researchers identified solutions to the key technological challenges, control and operation strategies to improve the efficiency of the system. The solar energy to the hydrogen, oxygen and heat co-generation system can play an important role in the wide-scale implementation and use of solar fuel technologies.

/STORIES DEEP SPACE MISSIONS MUST RECREATE EXACT EARTH-LIKE CONDITIONS TO SURVIVE, SCIENTISTS ARGUE In order to explore deep space, you need to feel like you never left your home, at least that’s what Gizmodo reports. A new theory called "pancosmorio" argues that humans will only thrive on deep space missions if they recreate Earth-like ecosystems, including gravity, oxygen, and reliable sources of water, as well as steady agricultural output and the recycling of waste. The theory takes a holistic approach to the problem of human survivability in space and argues that recreating the environmental and societal networks that have allowed humankind to evolve and thrive on Earth is essential. OPENAI’S CEO CONFIRMS THE COMPANY ISN’T TRAINING GPT-5 AND ‘WON’T FOR SOME TIME’ OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has confirmed that the company is not currently training GPT-5 but is instead expanding the capabilities of GPT-4, with considerations around safety, reports The Verge. The comments highlight the fallacy of version numbers in the AI industry and the need to focus on capabilities and predictions of future developments in discussions about AI safety. YOU DESERVE NICE THINGS We know when it comes to your wardrobe, it’s sometimes hard to pony up for the expensive, well-made stuff. However, you get what you pay for. We all know that person who’s had the same high-quality yoga pants for years while you or someone you know went through 12 crappy ones in that time. What if we told you there was a way to get high-quality, top-of-the-line clothing for men, women, and children for prices that are actually reasonable? There’s only one way to find out… [Partner] CLICK HERE AND ENJOY » AB INBEV’S BECK’S MAKES ‘FUTURISTIC’ BEER USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE The times, they are a-changin’. Per Marketing Dive, to celebrate its 150-year milestone, Beck's beer used AI to create its limited edition Autonomous beer. AI was used to generate the recipe, name, logo, container, and advertising campaign for the beer, and only 450 limited edition bottles will be released across Germany, Italy, and the UK.
