Wind turbine blades are recycled into reinforcement fiber that increases the strength and overall durability of concrete.
Wind turbines are great for producing energy but become quite wasteful once their lifetime has expired, as the materials used to construct them simply don’t biodegrade very well.
One company is seeking to do something about that according to a report by electrek published on Thursday.
The tech giant, Google, has clarified its position on AI-generated content, stating that content created solely for search engine rankings violates their guidelines; however, it is not an issue if created with people in mind.
Researchers have developed a way to use laser light to pull a macroscopic object. Although microscopic optical tractor beams have been demonstrated before, this is one of the first times that laser pulling has been used on larger objects.
Light contains both energy and momentum that can be used for various types of optical manipulation such as levitation and rotation. Optical tweezers, for example, are commonly used scientific instruments that use laser light to hold and manipulate tiny objects such as atoms or cells. For the last ten years, scientists have been working on a new type of optical manipulation: using laser light to create an optical tractor beam that could pull objects.
“In previous studies, the light pulling force was too small to pull a macroscopical object,” said research team member Lei Wang from QingDao University of Science and Technology in China. “With our new approach, the light pulling force has a much larger amplitude. In fact, it is more than three orders of magnitudes larger than the light pressure used to drive a solar sail, which uses the momentum of photons to exert a small pushing force.”
Twitter has added cashtag support for Shiba Inu. The recently launched initiative will allow SHIB, enthusiasts to keep track of these crypto assets’ prices along with BTC, ETH, and Doge. To use the service, users are required to search for the symbol of any of the supported digital currencies with the dollar sign ($) in front of it. For instance, Twitter users can check the price of Shiba Inu by typing $SHIB in the search bar. The search result will include the pricing graphs of Shiba Inu alongside a clickable link that will take the user directly to Robinhood. Crypto enthusiasts can quickly create an account on Robinhood to purchase digital currency.
To me a Twitter crypto currency used for Twitter transactions makes sense, as the, volume of transactions would add value to those who buy it early as an investment. Twitter could also prevent Some BankFraud-Fried incidents.
A SpaceX Cargo Dragon 2 spacecraft has safely returned to Earth after delivering several tons of NASA supplies to the International Space Station (ISS).
A little over six weeks after Falcon 9 launched SpaceX’s 26th Commercial Resupply Services 2 (CRS2) mission for NASA, Dragon departed the ISS on January 9th. Efficiently lowering its orbit with several small Draco thrusters took about 36 hours, and reusable Dragon 2 capsule C211 eventually slowed to the point that it began impacting Earth’s atmosphere. Using its ablative heat shield like a brake pad, Dragon slowed from a velocity of 7.5 kilometers per second (16,800 mph) to about 155 meters per second (~350 mph) before beginning parachute deployment.
At 5:19 am on January 11th, the Dragon capsule gently splashed down off the coast of Tampa, Florida, and was quickly secured by a SpaceX recovery ship. Once onboard, the capsule was opened up, and cargo fresh from orbit was loaded onto a helicopter as quickly as possible. That system – primarily created to rapidly transport astronauts back to NASA medical facilities – also means that scientists can get access to their recovered ISS experiments just a handful of hours after Cargo Dragon splashes down.
This might be important. It might not be over for metformin just yet though as a mice study showed that rapamycin combined with metformin removed each other’s side effects.
If you are a non-diabetic who takes metformin for longevity, I highly recommend you stop immediately. Hear me out, and at the end of the video I’ll share what to do instead.
