German researchers produce hydrogen from diesel
Researchers at the German Aerospace Centre have developed a new method for producing hydrogen from diesel and biodiesel as part of the EU NEMESIS 2+ project. The developers hope that in the future this method could be used in all areas where decentralised hydrogen production is needed, for example, for filling up fuel cell vehicles. &ldquo;One promising application is the production of hydrogen from diesel and biodiesel directly on site at conventional filling stations, which would make it much more convenient to fill up fuel cell vehicles, as well as further support the breakthrough of this technology," says project manager Stefan Martin, from the DLR Institute of Engineering Thermodynamics in Stuttgart.

A milestone for parabolic flight

On 23 May 2023, at 09:00, a very special Airbus A310 taxied to the runway at Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport. The aircraft set off on a special flight – the first of a total of three flights that make up the 40th parabolic flight campaign of the German Space Agency at DLR, which will take place in Bordeaux from 15 to 25 May 2023. On board are 11 experiments – three from the fields of biology and human physiology and eight related to fundamental physics, technology and materials science.
