This battery has lower energy density(20Whr/kg) than your current SLA's at (50Whr/kg)..ref
The claim of room temperature processing is also somewhat misleading.. They included an annealing step at 350C under argon atmosphere for 1 hr for processing the iron oxide nanorods.
No mention of charge efficiency, should be bettery than the 60 to 70% for SLA's, (note: Lithium ion charge efff is ~95-98%)..
Traveling through through space containing the typical atom of interstellar hydrogen per cm^3 at relativistic speeds(0.95C) would result in instant death.
Even if you were frozen solid, the ice would melt and water around/inside you would boil. Not to mention nearly every chemical bond in your body would be broken. At lower sub light speeds. 0.5C one would still have to deal with many years of accumulated cosmic radiation damage once you were taken out stasis(You're dead).
Short of some sort of wormhole/warp discovery, travel between stars at best something would require storing memory and conscious digitally, (constantly self repair & correcting) then manufacturing a suitable body at the destination. Or just remain as a machine conscientious, since biological organisms won't survive a intersteller trip intact.
By the time one reaches anywhere near the maximum solar usage threshold, attempting to use any combination of fossil/nuclear energy would burn the planet to a crisp.
FF/nuclear Waste heat(50-70%) to match solar flux levels would make AGW(Added CO2 = + 1%), look like a picnic. Yes, their is energy consumption limit/(ultimately converted to heat) at which humanity must leave the planet.
"capacity"? You mean if the sun was shining on every single solar panel in the world
Even on a mostly cloudy day my solar panels produce about a quarter(1/4) of their normal output. Enough to run the house loads (frig, freezer, PC, lights, tv, etc).
I cut household electricity CO2 footprint by another metric ton this year. Soon.my PV will be on a solar tracker, that should reduce non-food related CO2 footprint to near zero.. I will be the first person in my republican dominated city to achieve a near zero carbon footprint house. Someone's got to break the mold, and leave FF behind, I hope many others will follow.
P.S. My residence along with the city and most of South Florida will be underwater one hundred years from now. (unstoppable sea level increase). You would think they would sit up and take notice as the bi-annual king tides are now flooding the streets in front of million$+ houses, might give them a clue. But no, blinders on, full speed ahead, buy that big ass SUV, Yacht, waste energy, burn those fossil fuels unending (And seal a watery fate.)
Pocket Dialing, how many times have you pocket dialed, or received a pocket dial? Blame it all on the slide to unlock feature.
After my pocket dialing episode ~5 years ago, I switched to pattern unlock on my Andriod phone (NO more packet dials). It's also helped a couple of times retrieving my misplaced phone. Definiitly reduces desiriblity for the finder to keep a lost or misplaced phone.
While detonating a few Gigatons worth of nuclear weapons over various targets would be bad.
Far worse would be the hundreed's of Giga ton's of fission byproducts released into the biosphere from destoryed/damaged/unattended nuclear reactors and spent fuel pools around world. At best average human life expetancy would drop into the low to mid 20's
The second sentence should be, "He taught them how to "...
30 years ago, was a different age of computing where the computer industry was full of very talented people trained in other fields.. We don't have that anymore, Microsoft, Intel, HP, etc, laid them all off, (older employees), and would never hire someone that hasn't been through their indoctrination regime.
The last time Microsoft had anyone qualified in the fields organic chemistry/biology working with on a M$/IBM project was around thirty years ago. He though them how to implement a superior testing regime for their Operating systems using laboratory/statistical/analysis techniques.
I really doubt Microsoft is wise enough to employ those type of cross trained experts anymore.
As for curing cancer in ten years, they have a better chance of initiating some form of Apocalypse, ( PC OS mono culture, with Billions of PC's being taken over), triggering WWIII, release of a bio-weapon, nano-replicators, etc., rather than curing cancer. With everybody dead, cancer in humans is definitely cured, ergo Microsoft get's the credit posthumously.
In the first sentence of the first linked article it mentions Samsung phones are infected with this backdoor, I'm asking why would that be?
I've got two rooted SAMSUNG galaxy class phones. Neither of them has this app installed. Why would Samsung allow a Rival to install modules on the phones they manufacturer, sell, support, and warranty?
One should not forget that Ireland received a large banking Bailout(61B euro, 25% NPL's) from the ECB and IMF not too long ago. Ergo, it is illegal to make sweet heart deals with 3rd parties(Apple) allowing them to avoid paying taxes incurred in other member states(EU).
I.E. You can't be just a little bit pregnant, (member of EU). Either your all in, or not, that was the choice Britain just made.
Inside LOX tank their are anti slosh baffles made out aluminum which are welded to the inside of the tank. During fueling those welds will be under thermal stress, if one of the welds gave out it would expose Al metal to the LOX then BOOM. The tank material itself reacted with the Pure O2.
It's the nature of the beast when dealing with LOX tanks. 1st)It would be wise to let the tank sit with a pressurized with a couple of psi of O2 for several weeks building up a thicker ceramic AlO2 layer. 2nd) implement a staged cool down procedure before filling tank with cryonic oxygen to reduce stress on welds..
Our Ohio class boomer fleet uses Magneto Optical Disks for targeting, but that was some time ago.. They may have upgraded since.
N Korea goal is to detonate an EMP burst over the USA from orbit. The USA will retaliate against N Korea city''s & military and EMP their supporters China+Russia in kind, leaving neither side with a real advantage.
An advanced civilization capable of sending such a beacon would have the ability to modulate the signal..That leaves a couple of possibilities, Natural phenomenon, or remnants of a dead civilization triggering some signal.
When you're on an island electricity costs a whole lot more ($0.44/kWh), plus a summertime surcharge. This wind project also connects Block island to the mainland grid
The initial agreed upon energy pricing is $0.244 per kWh, Thus the return will be ~10% per year. Thus a check mark in the win column for all parties..
They did such a good job another species took over their niche (annoying humans).
Horseflies, I found out the hard way when we towed a boat down the keys portion of the Intercoastal channel. Every slow no wake zone was a feeding ground where they attack the occupants on mass.
I think that is political BS. IF I understand things correctly each project is usually a different corporation.
He can't, Trump is a serial abuser of both bankruptcy law, and the suppliers he contracts to perform work.
This is a typical Example of one his corps abusing a supplier, rather than pay supplier what they owe, they resort to a form of extortion (ever increasing legal fees to collect a debt). And that is not the only Forum about Trump and Rcih assholes like him
We really don't need a person, (unrepentant serial abuser), like Trump as Commander in Chief.
Not all the above ground testing was stopped in 1963. France continued atmospheric testing until 1974.. As for decreasing death rates, the study did not accomdate recent events, like the Fukishima tripple meltdown and it's recent impact
After a stream of viri made it past the dictionary lookuip and a low hit rate on new viri, I made a decision to not install anti-viris software on any newly built virt boxes.
To replace it, I added an execute permission restrictions policy, so that any thing a limited user downloaded or any file that resided in his/her directory/server file tree could NOT execute. 2nd, I hired a company called "spam experts" to filter incomming emails/ (primary infection path). Lastly and very important, setup a filter for any emails that remembered the old server IP address(open port 25) and bypassed spamexperts(MX reord) to be redirected into a offsite spam holding account.
Finally, added as much encryption as possible, TLS links between email clients and server, same goes for between email servers(TLS over port 25 comms)..
GMO's could be safe, but a significant portion are not. Thanks to our "for sale" highest bidder government, who allow substandard testing regimes to be accepted in the approval process.
Their is a world of misery headed our way thanks to these vested interests. The public is right to not trust these people. Is it any wonder why medical issues seam to be consuming ever more resources and funds look at the source, the food we eat.
I don't buy into the projected increasing amounts of coal usage. As the Chinese discovered, one pays a heavy price burning coal, (pollution of water, soil, air), and India will soon learn this lesson first hand.
Coal in the USA maybe a NOP by 2027, where coal generation peaked near 49% (2007), 33%(2015) and is still dropping like a rock 31% (April 2016).
As for the so called base-load argument, is a fool's argument, eventually we will need to use renewable's to provide more than 150% of our overall demand, using excess energy production to put Carbon back into the ground. Preferably in the form of Methane(CH4), which we can later tap to stabilize the grid when needed.
:First this conduct would be covered under federal jurisdiction and various bar associations.. I can think of number of different federal laws being broken, and the statute of limitations for conspiracy tolls from the last overt act. I.E. Yearly royalty payment to the patent troll.
Thus both this federal judge, his son and the principles of patent troll co could be in deep dodo..

All in all, a pretty shitty next 100 years coming up for everyone.
Wayyy more than a HUNDRED years!!!!
