Tobias Ellwood of the British Parliament Defense Committee has called for the UK to move to a "war footing" and face Russia directly, suggesting a lack of alignment with broader EU de-escalation trends. Meanwhile, Australian researchers at Monash University claim to have discovered an enzyme called "HOO" in soil bacteria that can convert atmospheric hydrogen into electricity. This discovery is met with skepticism, being compared to "zero point energy" tropes.
