Okay y'all. I think I could get most Expedition 33 in normal mode. But I just will not enjoy it. Switched to story mode and I can now progress without failing bosses because of one (or several) wrong dodges.

Sichere Akkus: Lithium-Metall-Batterien mit integriertem Flammschutzmittel
Lithium-Metall-Batterien sind energiereich, können jedoch bei Überhitzung schnell in Brand geraten. Ein Polymer soll das verhindern.

Chemical vapor deposition synthesis of (GeTe)n(Sb2Te3) gradient crystalline films as promising planar heterostructures
Phase-change materials of the (GeTe)n (Sb2Te3) (GST) system are of high relevance in memory storage and energy conversion applications due to their fast-switching speed, high data retention, and tunable properties. Here, we report on a fast and efficient CVD-based method for the fabrication of crystalline GST films with variable Ge/Sb atomic content. In particular, the approach enables compositional control without changing the precursor, facilitating a gradient synthesis of Ge3Sb2Te6, Ge2Sb2Te…

Hate to bring up HP but no other book has given me as close a feeling as when I read HP. Truly a joy to read with the world feeling both real and magical.

The Grorthendieck group of an extriangulated category
In this paper, we investigate the split Grothendieck group $K^{\rm sp}_{0}(\mathcal{M})$ of a $d$-rigid subcategory $\mathcal{M}$ in an extriangulated category $\mathscr{C}$. As applications, we prove the following results: (1) If $\mathcal{M}$ is a silting subcategory, then the Grothendieck group $K_{0}(\mathscr{C})$ is isomorphic to $K_{0}^{\rm sp}(\mathcal{M})$; (2) If $\mathcal{M}$ is a $d$-cluster tilting subcategory, then $K_{0}(\mathscr{C})$ is isomorphic to the index Grothendieck group …
