Pulling an F150 will not break a Cybertruck's rear frame This video shows that prior to pulling the F150, the Cybertruck's rear frame slammed onto a concrete block, which is what caused the actual damage:

Shows this to all who claim BEVs are not growing or renewables are not the solution.

Net-zero targets are all well and good. But how countries get there matters a lot. It's the area under the curve that matters for warming. Delay emissions cuts and you not only make net-zero less likely, you also make climate change worse along the way.

National Lab (LBNL) results support LK-99 as a room-temperature ambient-pressure superconductor. Simulations published 1 hour ago on arxiv support LK-99 as the holy grail of modern material science and applied physics. (arxiv.org/abs/2307.16892) Here's the plain-english explanation: - The simulations modeled what the original Korean authors proposed was happening to their material - where copper atoms were percolating into a crystal structure and replacing lead atoms, causing the crystal to strain slightly and contract by 0.5%. This unique structure was proposed to allow this amazing property. - @sineatrix from Lawrence Berkeley National Lab simulated this using heavy-duty compute power from the Department of Energy, and looked to see what would happen to the 'electronic structure' of this material, meaning, what are the available conduction pathways in the material. - It turns out that there are conduction pathways for electrons that are in just the right conditions and places that would enable them to 'superconduct'. More specifically, they were close to the 'Fermi Surface' which is like the sea-level of electrical energy, as in '0 ft above sea-level.' It's believed currently that the more conduction pathways close to the Fermi surface, the higher the temperature you can superconduct at (An analogy might be how its easier for planes to fly close to the surface of the ocean due to the 'ground effect' that gives them more lift.) This plot in particular shows the 'bands', or electron pathways, crossing above and below the Fermi surface. - Lastly, these interesting conduction pathways only form when the copper atom percolates into the less likely location in the crystal lattice, or the 'higher energy' binding site. This means the material would be difficult to synthesize since only a small fraction of crystal gets its copper in just the right location. This is insanely bullish for humanity.

Exciting advances in technology - the quiet propeller by MIT Lincoln Laboratory very deservadly won a R&D100 award this week...
The toroidal propeller, one of the Lab's @RD100Awards winners, has a unique, closed-form propeller design that makes it a significantly quieter alternative to common multirotor propellers on commercial uncrewed aerial vehicles. ow.ly/yWA150MkbPw

Take a look at these wonderful hubs for #3DPrinting filament spool refills. Reusable spool holders reduce single use plastic waste, if you can use a sustainable system please consider this when you next buy spools of plastic filament, it’s the only way manufacturers will change.
Replying to @XFaraudo
The basis is a three-component spool, with a core of… a core or hub, in several diameters: 102mm #MasterSpool V4 by @RichRap3D standard, 93mm @prusament, 92mm @eSUN_official, 85mm @sunlu and 90mm (commercial small-format spools), in different heights, with desiccant pockets.

Great fan placement enabling high speed on this 3D printer...
Impressive speed & motion control on this #3DPrinter At this speed layer deposition height is very low, but with enough force cooling of the deposited plastic it can still grow spiral vase prints very fast indeed. It’s a fine balance of fusing molten plastic & cooling layers.

We're excited to be at the Silicon Valley comes to the UK @SVC2UK Good Growth Summit today talking to potential investors about our emissions reducing, climate impact mitigating excavator technology. Inspiring words and wisdom from the speakers.

Explaining how our energy reducing, productivity enhancing excavation technology can be used to both reduce carbon emissions and mitigate the impacts of climate change at #highwaysuk. Thank you to #innovateuk for the speaking opportunity.
The end of a busy, but very productive week launching our low energy excavation technology at the #highwaysuk exhibition this week. Lots of of interest from potential customers and partners. Thanks again to the organising team for a great event. Contact us to find out more.

In #QueenElizabeth the world has lost an amazing person, whose astounding capacity for kindness, intelligence and empathy was combined with her selflessness, and her commitment to help others, the country and the world. Deepest condolences to @RoyalFamily.
