Nineteen new cooperation agreements in the areas of oil gas, infrastructure, and finance have been signed in recent days between Iran and Russia, a senior source who works closely with Iran's Petroleum Ministry told OilPrice.com last week. These build upon the key enhanced cooperation themes laid out in the new 20-year comprehensive cooperation deal between the two countries to which Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, gave his official approval on 18 January.

Stars are born from huge clouds of mostly hydrogen gas floating in space. Astronomers like me study this gas because it helps us understand how stars and galaxies form and grow. Hydrogen gas gives off a faint glow that is invisible to human eyes but can be observed with a telescope tuned to detect radio waves.

Sign up for daily news updates from CleanTechnica on email. Or follow us on Google News! In recent months I've had a sideline of reviewing major studies from purportedly credible organizations on decarbonization of heavy freight vehicles, along with hydrogen for energy studies. They've mostly been very bad, with outright errors, unsupportable assumptions and clear evidence of groupthink — gruppendenken for the German ones — making the obviously incorrect results seem reasonable to the authors and reviewers, or at least impossible to question.

According to Nalikatibhag Sangsnit, president of Dhanarak Asset Development (DAD) Co, a state enterprise under the Finance Ministry, such a study builds upon current initiatives which the complex has already utilised, such as the use of solar panels.

PESHAWAR, Pakistan — Pakistani authorities have shared with China the preliminary findings of an investigation into a deadly attack that killed five Chinese nationals and their Pakistani driver in the country's volatile northwest, officials said Wednesday. Authorities were doing DNA testing on the remains of a suicide bomber who rammed his explosives-laden car into a vehicle that was carrying the Chinese engineers and construction workers.

Pakistan ramped up security guarding Chinese engineers building Beijing-linked projects in the nation's northwest, an official said on March 27, a day after five workers were killed in a suicide bombing. Beijing is Islamabad's closest regional ally and Pakistan has benefitted from billions of dollars of investment in recent years, but has struggled to guarantee the safety of Chinese migrant workers.

After 13 years of perseverance, hard work and endurance, the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) lately well known as Abbay Dam is now nearing its long-awaited completion. It is said to have reached about 95 % of the total construction. Over the years so much has been said and written about the dam, the river, the people's feelings and commitment as well as the government's capability to properly discharge its completion.

Zimbabwe's mineral wealth is a flick of nature; the earth packed with metal ores like gold, lithium, diamond, granite and coal along the vast seams in this part of the Southern African country. Throughout the colonial period, colonizers have exploited and extracted these mineral resources. Now, four decades after Zimbabwe attained its independence the resources remain vast.

(Nanowerk News) Researchers from the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science and collaborators have developed an organic photovoltaic film that is both waterproof and flexible, allowing a solar cell to be put onto clothes and still function correctly after being rained on or even washed. One of the potential uses of organic photovoltaics is to create wearable electronics - devices that can be attached to clothing that can monitor medical devices, for example, without requiring battery changes.
