A New Subclass of Carbon-Enhanced Metal-Poor Stars at Extremely Low Metallicity
We report the discovery of a new subclass of carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars, characterized by high absolute carbon abundances (A(C) > 7.39) and extremely low metallicity ([Fe/H] $<=$ -3.1) but notably lacking enhancements in neutron-capture elements, thus falling under the CEMP-no category. This population emerged from a detailed analysis of low-resolution spectroscopic data obtained from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telesc…

Hollywood's Environmental Tools Make Filmmaking Green and Affordable | Happy Eco News
Hollywood's environmental tools are revolutionizing film production through digital platforms that replace wasteful traditional methods. Cloud-based editing, digital script management, and integrated collaboration software reduce carbon emissions while cutting costs. These innovations make filmmaking more accessible globally while demonstrating how technology can improve both creative processes and environmental sustainability.

Progress on the #tricycle project is mainly in thinking about and working on the subframe. One thing that I'm sure is the right decision is to give the subframe a flat mounting flange, which will bolt down onto a matching pedestal within the hull. This will make the subframe easier to fabricate, and easier to mount/dismount - which I think will be needed for any work on the wheel or tyre.

I'm dispositionally sceptical of falling sky prophesies and what Mr Schneier calls "movie plot threats".
But.
I can't deny I'm a bit nervous that all this noisy dancing up to the edge of disaster and back might be a deliberate scheme, intended to get European militaries locked up on the Eastern front from Finland to Romania, before China finally have a crack at Taiwan.

Do the rich pay their fair share? Enumerating the price of flying (and abolishing) premium air travel
Premium air travel is often associated with a disproportionately large carbon emissions footprint. This association reflects the increased space and amenities typically found in premium cabins that existing discourse suggests makes their carriage more fuel, and consequently carbon, intensive. One increasingly popular solution is disincentivizing the use of premium cabins in favor of all-economy cabins. How effective might such a policy be. To what extent. And how may the revenue impact affect t…

Dispersed multi-walled carbon nanotubes in polyvinyl butyral matrix for transparent ionic conductive films
In this work, we develop methods for increasing the dispersion degree of agglomerated multiwalled carbon nanotubes with subsequent introduction of them into polyvinyl butyral to create transparent conductive films. The influence of proton and a-proton solvents in combination with potassium triiodide (KI3) as a redox component for oxidation of the multiwalled carbon nanotubes surface, which reduces agglomeration due to electrostatic repulsion, is investigated. It is demonstrated that a-proton so…

The world continues to dawdle politically in its response to the climate crisis
but clean energy is booming,
-- responsible for almost all new energy capacity and drawing double the investment of fossil fuels globally. The market has shifted.
Most starkly, though, Trump has become the planet’s foremost advocate of fossil fuels,
throwing the might of the US presidency into a rearguard battle to keep the world mired in the era of combusted carbon.
There is now no …
