Study Reveals More Efficient Method for Producing Hydrogen from Water

Scientists have introduced a newly engineered catalyst that may significantly reduce the cost of hydrogen production, improving the practicality of renewable energy storage systems. Hydrogen is widely regarded as a clean energy source because it can store renewable electricity and generates no carbon emissions when used. However, large-scale hydrogen production has been difficult to achieve economically since most current electrolyzers depend on rare and costly platinum-group metals. Developing affordable alternatives with comparable performance is essential for expanding clean energy technologies. A team of researchers led by Washington University’s Prof. Gang Wu has now designed a promising new catalyst that could…

Why Peace Prospects Are Fueling Gold Rallies in 2026

Gold’s behavior in 2026 has surprised many investors. Traditionally, geopolitical conflict in the Middle East sends investors rushing into safe-haven assets, pushing gold prices higher. But during the current Iran conflict, the opposite has happened. Each major escalation has triggered gold selloffs, while reports of ceasefires or peace negotiations have sparked rallies. Since the conflict began in early February, this pattern has repeated several times. The shift reflects a deeper macroeconomic reality shaping today’s market: fiscal dominance. The United States is now carrying federal debt above 125% of GDP, placing enormous pressure on policymakers to keep borrowing costs under control. In this environment, markets are focused less on…

Study Group Offers Insights on the Conflicting Signals within Copper Markets

Following January’s surge to record highs, copper prices have entered a more cautious phase, reacting closely to developments surrounding the Iran crisis. The ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz presents a paradox for the market, creating both upward and downward pressure on prices. On one hand, the Gulf region is a key supplier of sulfur, a critical input for producing sulfuric acid used in copper extraction processes such as solvent extraction and electrowinning, which account for roughly a quarter of global refined output. Any disruption in supply supports higher prices. On the other hand, rising energy costs linked to the crisis threaten to slow global manufacturing, weakening…
