Gusher of gas deep in mine stokes interest in natural hydrogen
Researchers have discovered a massive spring of hydrogen, bubbling out of a deep mine in Albania. Although it may not be economical to exploit, the surprisingly high flow of the gas is likely to raise interest in the emerging field of natural hydrogen, the overlooked idea that
Earth itself could be a source
of the clean-burning fuel.
“These deposits have been ignored by the oil and gas industry for a very long time,” says Frieder Klein, a geochemist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. “This goes in the right direction.”

CEM image quality unaffected by iron particles from tracers
Low-dose iron oxide tracers impact the quality of breast MR images, but not that of contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM), a study published February 5 in Surgical Oncology found.
Researchers led by Elisabeth van Haaren from the Zuyderland Medical Centre in Sittard-Geleen, the Netherlands, found that even after a low-dose injection (1 ml) of superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) tracer, iron remnants stay behind in the breast tissue and disturb all MR images. However, they also observed no such effect on CEM images.
“CEM could be valuable alternative if additional imaging is needed in the follow-up of breast cancer,” van...
