The ocean is big. Really big. You just won’t believe how vastly hugely mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist, but that’s just peanuts to the ocean.
Which is also alarming, depending on the rate they break down plastics and whether they are harmful to humans.
It’s like having a snake problem, releasing mongooses, and suddenly having a mongoose problem
The colleagues reported in Cell Reports Physical Science that by building a structure out of DNA and then coating it with glass, they have created a very strong material with very low density.
They use self-assembling DNA to build a lattice, which is then doped with microscopic glass. It's kind of like reinforced concrete but at the molecular scale. Scaling it up will be the hard part but the technique is pretty innovative.
I saw a YouTube video a while ago about 3d printing structures with organic filaments. Now self replicating DNA composites… it’s interesting and a bit unsettling to think of a future where buildings may be literally alive.
Even better, they approved even more funding for rail. As much as I like to see things transitioning to electricity, batteries are not the future - at least in their current state.
The cabinet also approved seven railway tracking projects worth 3.25 million lakh rupees to boost connectivity and mobility across nine states.
The researchers plan to continue investigating horses’ abilities to detect sadness, particularly whether they can detect sadness amongst other negative emotions.
Absolutely agree. My latest adopted dog came from being abandoned in an empty building and then transported for about 12 hours to my state. She was terrified of people (but loved dogs!) and spent 3 days under our bed. We put a dog bed, food and water there, and she had a nice “cave.” We would sit at a distance and talk to her, then eventually she would sniff our hand, etc. After 3 days, she felt safe and started coming out. She still dislikes strangers months later, but is the sweetest dog to us.
Horses always seem to me like big dogs, they have such distinct personalities, and I’ve seen them do all sorts of funny things (seemingly just for the hell of it).
Don’t worry - with everything else we’ve done to fuck up the environment and ignoring the filth in the oceans… it’s probably already too late! We’d have to massively curb consumerism to get the happy ending and…ooh, new shiny toy!
This is good, but where is the company that left this crumbling wreck? Who was responsible for it when it was abandoned? Yes, the oil belongs to a country with a government in flux, but surely the crew where part of a corporation or business of some sort.
