Prototype hydrogen ion battery

China: Scientists Unveil World’s First Hydrogen Anion Battery Prototype! (19.9.2025)

Hydrogen anions are highly reactive and polarizable, offering unique energy storage potential. But until now, no electrolyte had combined the high conductivity, thermal stability, and electrode compatibility needed for a functioning battery.

In tests, the prototype used sodium alanate as the cathode and cerium dihydride as the anode. It reached an initial discharge capacity of 984 mAh per gram and maintained 402 mAh per gram after 20 cycles. A stacked version delivered 1.9 volts and successfully powered an LED light, proving its feasibility beyond the lab.

Dialectical Materialism & Rebirth for Marxists! (26.8.2025)

In a moment – things dialectically change forever. When the axe fell on the neck of Charles I in 1649 – the ancient convention of an absolute monarch in England ended forever. How could this have happened? Well, there was a Revolution which saw tens of thousands fight and die in England so that the emerging bourgeois class could usurp political power from the aristocracy. There was no future for the absolute monarchy. And yet the agency of the “moment”, despite its nature, continue to manifest unabated. Rebirth is not reincarnation – the Buddha hinted about the former but rejected the latter. Rebirth may not be what the average Marxist thinks it is. An effective Marxist regime must be replicated effectively from one generation to the next.

Torquay: Moses Wave Man – My Dad is a Modern-Day Wizard – and He Has Made a Post! (24.7.2025)

Remarkably, despite being right-handed, from 72 onwards, he re-learned how to do everything with his left-hand. Recently, he has been in and out of hospital in Torbay a number of times – with NHS staff stabilising his health and allowing him to go back out “waving” in the Bay. However, the visits are becoming far more frequent and I have started to receive enquiries about his health – even from the local and national media! Typical of my Dad, (he taught us to always find a way through the current hardship), he is dictating the content of his latest posts to whichever family member is visiting him. Hopefully, he will rise again for one more good round – and demonstrate his mettle and grit yet again!
