Until now, it has been almost impossible to measure the energy density of hydrogen precisely, but a new sensor can register every single molecule.
Until now, it has been almost impossible to measure the energy density of hydrogen precisely, but a new sensor can register every single molecule. This could lay the foundation for correct accounting in the hydrogen economy.
People like to know how much and what they are paying for, and the way it is measured is thus crucial. This is the basis for all trade, which works well when the measurement systems are in place, functioning, and unified.
However, some substances vary greatly in how they behave, making it difficult to measure the amount – and to carry out measurement, accounting and trade.
