Researchers have developed Knowledge Extractor. This is a scientific framework designed to transition AI from a passive tool into a supportive research partner. By linking a large language model fine-tuned for this domain with a dynamic knowledge base, the Hydrogen Agent system can collect data, analyze technical trends, and produce strategic reports for the hydrogen energy sector.

The new holistic monitoring system developed under the leadership of TU Graz measures boat waves with millimetre precision using satellite navigation data and sensors on buoys and for the first time allows investigations into the extent to which boat traffic, weather and other factors influence the ecosystem of lakes.

A new perspective article outlines a roadmap for harnessing light emission from individual molecules. By precisely controlling currents through a single molecule, researchers can generate light with unparalleled spatial precision. This “single-molecule electroluminescence” technology, controlled via nanocavity plasmon, interface engineering, electric-field modulation, and molecular design, could lead to ultra-efficient quantum light sources, molecular-scale LEDs, and programmable optoelectronic chips for future computers.

An interactive game, developed by the Horizon 2020 REST-COAST project, places the users at the heart of large-scale coastal decision-making.

Coastal Challenge is a new serious video game developed within the EU-funded REST-COAST project to support climate adaptation decision-making in coastal areas. Available through the REST-COAST project website, the game offers an interactive and accessible platform for exploring how one’s choices shape the future resilience of coastal systems. 

Solid‑state lithium batteries (SSLBs) are emerging as a vital next‑generation energy storage technology due to their superior safety and potential for higher energy density. However, widespread adoption has been hampered by challenges such as low lithium‑ion conductivity, poor electrode compatibility, and manufacturing difficulties. A recent review in the Journal of Electrochemistry systematically examines advances in solid‑state electrolytes (SSEs), covering inorganic, organic, and the newly developed “soft” solid‑state electrolytes (S³Es). The article highlights two innovative strategies—“rigid‑flexible synergy” composites and the “Li⁺‑desolvation” mechanism using porous frameworks—as promising routes to overcome current limitations and enable practical high‑performance SSLBs.
