In October 2022, I shared this link where Michael Levin showcased work from his lab on organ regeneration. He had figured out that all cells communicate electrically, which is how they know what and where to be when they grow up. He demonstrated it by cutting a planarian […]
“How far might we be if supposedly learned elites didn’t use the power of words to attack the power of technologist-driven technology?” ~ learn more
Six charts that tell a story about batteries. Sales are growing on an S-curve as costs keep falling, enabling new use cases and fueling further increases in demand and decreases in cost. The report concludes that this trend will reduce […]
I have not fact-checked this but it did make it through some sort of peer-review. “In a new study published in the journal Joule, the researchers went through a range of different industrial sectors looking at the available options for decarbonization, […]
Nat Bullard is a self-described expert on clean energy and climate finance. He puts together this annual presentation on “the state of decarbonization told with climate, capital markets, technology, and sector data.” It’s very detailed and full of interesting data. […]
This is my first time learning about this. The panels provide shade for the crops, which is useful in hot weather or during droughts. It seems the trade-off is the ease of harvest. “Agrivoltaics – the practice of using land […]
“Like on-land carbon capture technologies, which can extract carbon from our air, marine carbon capture harvests the molecules from seawater or the air above. Carbon causes problems for both: Excess carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere creates a kind of […]
“I was really disappointed when I found out Javier Milei was going to the WEF summit. Until I got a few minutes into his speech and he is just telling them that everything they are doing is wrong and fucked […]
This was published as a commentary in Nature. It’s titled “Degrowth can work — here’s how science can help.” My opinion is that there’s clearly no requirement to understand economics before submitting for publication. One of their ideas: “This requires cancelling […]
“The quantum computer revolution may be further off and more limited than many have been led to believe. That’s the message coming from a small but vocal set of prominent skeptics in and around the emerging quantum computing industry.” ~ learn more
