As a boarding student at the Lycée Lakanal, Frédéric Joliot had distinguished himself more in sports than in studies. Reversals of family fortune had then forced him to choose a free public education at the Lavoisier municipal school in order to prepare for the entrance competition at the École de Physique et de Chimie Industrielle, from which he graduated with a degree in engineering, ranking first. After completing his military service, he accepted a research scholarship and, on the recommendation of the physicist Paul Langevin, was hired in October 1925 as Marie Curie’s assistant. The following year (on Oct. 9, 1926) Frédéric and Irène were married.

European consortium forms to standardize fuel cell modules for heavy-duty applications: StaSHH
A European consortium consisting of 25 organizations in the hydrogen sector has formed to define, develop and test the first European standard for fuel-cell modules for heavy-duty applications.
The consortium “StaSHH” (Standard-Sized Heavy-duty Hydrogen) comprises 11 fuel cell module suppliers, 9 original equipment manufacturers and 5 research, test, engineering and/or knowledge institutes. StaSHH will standardize physical dimensions, flow and digital interfaces, test protocols and safety requirements of the fuel cell modules that can be stacked and integrated in heavy duty applications like forklifts, buses, trucks, trains, ships, and construction equipment.
The consortium is receiving €7.5 million in funding from the European Union, through the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking, in order to kickstart the adoption of fuel cells in the heavy duty sector. The total budget i
