Presentation of WPUTolyser - an innovative electrolyser for hydrogen production at the West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin. The device was developed by scientists from the Faculties of Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics and Chemical Technology and Engineering. The durable design uses waste materials as catalysts. This results in higher efficiency than commercial solutions based on platinum and iridium. (mb/jm) PAP/Marcin Bielecki

Szczecin/ Scientists develop electrolyser for hydrogen production based on chemical waste

A prototype device called WPUTolyser was created by nanomaterials and mechatronics specialists from the West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin. In this catalyst, which processes water into oxygen and hydrogen, the researchers used iron salts from chemical waste instead of platinum.

Study: Pre-Columbian tattoos often more intricate than modern ones

Precision of pre-Columbian tattoos often exceeded modern tattooing techniques. The thinnest lines were probably made with a single cactus needle or sharpened animal bone, an analysis of over 100 tattooed human remains of the Chancay culture has shown.
