University of Oxford

Oxford is the oldest university in the English-speaking world, and a leader in learning, teaching and research.

Illustration of photon-photon scattering in a laboratory setting. Two green petawatt laser beams collide at a focal point along with a third red beam, which polarizes the quantum vacuum. This interaction generates a fourth laser beam—blue in color and traveling in a unique direction—that conserves both momentum and energy. Credit: Zixin (Lily) Zhang.

Hydrogen-potential terranes (Fig. 5) are widespread across all continents. The map highlights sedimentary basins (yellow) and those with evaporitic layers (pink), which may contain hydrogen trap structures. Black circles indicate notable hydrogen accumulations in key terrane types: Oman – Ophiolite Complex Australia – Amadeus Basin (alkaline granite complex) USA – Mid-continental rift (large igneous province) Mali – TTG/greenstone belt Terrane data are sourced from studies on ophiolites, large igneous provinces, basement rocks, sedimentary basins, and evaporites. Most continents host these hydrogen-favorable terranes. However, local details on hydrogen generation, migration, trapping, and preservation are essential to assess commercial viability.

Image caption: To the left of the figure, the red-yellow colour denotes the regions that degenerate earlier than the rest of the brain, and are vulnerable to Alzheimer’s disease. These brain areas are higher-order regions that process and combine information coming from our different senses. To the right of the figure, each dot represents the brain data from one UK Biobank participant. The overall curve shows that, in these particularly fragile regions of the brain, there is accelerated degeneration with age. Credit: G. Douaud and J. Manuello.
