In a groundbreaking discovery, researchers have found extensive reserves of natural hydrogen, termed "white hydrogen," buried deep within the Earth's continental crust. This finding, which could provide clean energy for up to 170,000 years, was made by an international team from the University of Oxford, Durham University, and the University of Toronto, as reported on May 19, 2025. Unlike conventional hydrogen produced through fossil fuel processes that emit greenhouse gases, white hydrogen occurs naturally and is extracted without pollution. Scientists emphasized its potential to revolutionize energy independence, marking a significant step towards combating climate change. The deposits are not located in vast underground lakes, but rather form slowly through chemical reactions over millennia. Initial mapping has identified hydrogen seeps in Canada’s Canadian Shield, suggesting that similar geological processes could yield more hydrogen reserves globally. To harness this resource, researchers are developing advanced technologies for mapping and extraction, while also confronting challenges, such as hydrogen-consuming bacteria. A new company, Snowfox Discovery Ltd, has been established to commercialize these efforts, underscoring the potential impact of this discovery on global energy demands and sustainability.

A 31-year-old man from Shravasti, Uttar Pradesh, has been arrested after allegedly murdering his wife, Sabina, and dismembering her body. The incident occurred while the couple was en route to Lucknow earlier this week. According to police reports, Saifuddin disposed of pieces of Sabina's body across a 10-kilometer stretch of the Shravasti area, with some parts thrown into a canal. The shocking discovery began when Sabina's brother, Salahuddin, grew concerned after her phone was switched off on May 14. He found evidence that the couple had left for Lucknow but later spotted Saifuddin alone in the area. Upon suspicion, he filed a missing persons report, prompting police involvement. After two days of questioning, Saifuddin confessed to the crime and led authorities to recover Sabina's burnt hand, which he had hidden in a nearby garden. Family members allege that Sabina was subjected to dowry harassment by her husband and in-laws, with Salahuddin stating, "He killed her because of this… we found her hand in the garden." Officials have confirmed the arrest of Saifuddin, who remains in custody.

In a shocking incident in Paralakhemundi, Odisha, a 13-year-old girl allegedly conspired to murder her adoptive mother, 54-year-old Rajalaxmi Kar, with two male accomplices. According to police reports, the girl was abandoned as an infant and adopted by Rajalaxmi after being found on the roadside. The alleged motive for the murder, which took place on April 29, was Rajalaxmi's disapproval of her daughter’s relationships with the older men and the desire to inherit her property. Authorities stated that the trio drugged Rajalaxmi with sleeping pills before smothering her with pillows. Initially, the family was informed that she died from a heart attack, but suspicions arose when the girl's mobile phone was found, revealing Instagram conversations outlining the murder plan. Following a complaint by Rajalaxmi's brother, police arrested the girl and her accomplices. Gajapati Superintendent of Police Jatindra Kumar Panda noted that Rajalaxmi had raised the girl alone after her husband's death shortly after the adoption. The investigation continues as police recover evidence, including gold ornaments allegedly taken from the victim.
