Support Networks for Kids and a Hydrogen Rush

Kids are worried about Earth’s problems, but they’re not alone. And there might be gold in the ground, or at least hydrogen.

Support networks like Force of Nature and the Good Grief Network have emerged to help young people cope with climate anxiety, as they grow up in a world of multiple crises.


The hunt is on for naturally occurring hydrogen gas underground, which could be a key part of the energy transition. But questions remain about how much can be captured and stored effectively.


Other tech stories include Republicans fearing backlash over data centers, a personalised vaccine success in skin cancer prevention, and China’s first reusable rocket launch. AI is making waves, from Zuckerberg testifying to concerns over AI-generated hacks targeting water systems.


Meanwhile, researchers are uncovering new insights into aging through “aging clocks,” exploring how our bodies wear out and whether we can reverse the process.
