Wonder if they know the difference between a quark, a neutrino and a muon :)

Not to keep in unknown territory simple explanation The muon (/'mju??n/; from the Greek letter mu (µ) used to represent it) is an elementary particle similar to the electron, with an electric charge of -1 e and a spin of 1/2, but with a much greater mass. It is classified as a lepton.

Composition: Elementary particle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_particle )

Decays into: ; e-, V-; µ (most common)

Antiparticle: Antimuon (; µ+;)

Mass: 105.6583755(23) MeV/c2; 0.113428925..

and in the same subject, up my alley - Electrolyzer in every district
The possibilities for this new catalyst are manifold. Both in the form of the fuel cell and the reverse reaction in an electrolyzer. For example, fuel cells are used in hydrogen-powered cars while some hospitals already have emergency generators with hydrogen-powered fuel cells. An electrolyzer can be used, for example, on wind farms at sea or perhaps even next to every single wind turbine. Transporting hydrogen is much cheaper than transporting electricity.

Hensen's dream goes further. He says, "I hope that we will soon be able to install an electrolyzer in every neighborhood. This refrigerator-sized device stores all the energy from the solar panels on the roofs in the neighborhood during the daytime as hydrogen. The underground gas pipelines will transport hydrogen in future, and the domestic central heating boiler will be replaced by a fuel cell, the latter converting the stored hydrogen back into electricity. That's how we can make the most of the sun."

But for this to happen, the electrolyzer still needs to undergo considerable development. Together with other TU/e researchers and industrial partners from the Brabant region, Hensen is therefore involved in the start-up of the energy institute of TU Eindhoven. The aim is to scale up the current commercial electrolyzers to a refrigerator-size electrolyzer of about 10 megawatts
