This research explores small modular reactors (SMRs) as a low-carbon energy solution, particularly for remote communities. It emphasizes environmental monitoring, biodiversity protection, and non-radiological risks, alongside meaningful engagement with Indigenous communities. Integrating scientific and local knowledge is essential to ensure responsible deployment and sustainable energy transitions.

This research studies a bacterial enzyme called Huc that can generate electricity from trace amounts of hydrogen in the air. By revealing how this nickel-and-iron enzyme captures and converts hydrogen efficiently, the work could inspire low-cost clean energy technologies that reduce reliance on fossil fuels and support a more sustainable future.
