However, Russia has remained mum about the vaccine specifications. Various aspects of this vaccine have not been disclosed including, trial results, the specific cancers targeted by the vaccine, its efficacy, dosage, and even its official name.

🔋 Hydrogen from waste: 'Zero-Gap' tech boosts clean fuel production

Scientists at the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) have made significant strides in clean energy technology.

The team has successfully developed and certified a "Zero-Gap" technology for bio-electrochemical cells (BECs), a promising method for producing hydrogen.

It has the potential to pave the way for large-scale, cost-effective hydrogen production from organic waste. This breakthrough addresses two critical challenges: the growing need for clean energy sources and the effective management of organic waste.
