Super-sensitive sensor detects tiny hydrogen leaks in seconds for safer energy use

Researchers at the University of Missouri are working to make hydrogen energy as safe as possible. As more countries and industries invest heavily in cleaner, renewable energy, hydrogen-powered factories and vehicles are gaining in popularity. But hydrogen fuel comes with risks—leaks can lead to explosions, accidents and environmental harm. Most hydrogen-detecting sensors on the market are expensive, can’t operate continuously and aren’t sensitive enough to detect tiny leaks quickly.

How many self-driving vehicles can one person monitor at the same time?

It is possible for one person to safely monitor up to five self-driving vehicles at once, according to new research led by Coventry University.

As self-driving vehicle trials expand across the UK, having trained people to intervene remotely if something goes wrong is essential for both safety and reliability.

This kind of remote oversight is likely to be used for services such as driverless buses, and robotaxis, where one person monitors several vehicles as they follow fixed routes. It doesn’t apply to private self-driving cars, where a driver would currently need to be in the vehicle and in control.
