They can hear well up to about forty years old, but then suddenly deafness strikes people with DFNA9. The cells of the inner ear can no longer reverse the damage caused by a genetic defect in their DNA. Researchers at Radboud university medical center have now developed a ''genetic patch'' for this type of hereditary deafness, with which they can eliminate the problems in the hearing cells. Further research in animals and humans is needed.
The Next Prize: Geopolitical Stakes In The Clean Hydrogen Race Yergin could not have picked a better title for the book—not just because he was awarded a Pulitzer for it, but because he masterfully exposed how oil was a game of huge risks and monumental rewards. Today, judging by all the excitement, hydrogen seems well positioned to become the next great prize, a zero-carbon version of oil.

BRINK spoke to professor Ad van Wijk, who has been described as one of the pioneers of the hydrogen economy, and is professor of Future Energy Systems at Delft University of Technology, a...
