U.S. aluminum buyers hunt for alternatives as Iran war upends global supply
Aluminum buyers in the U.S. are rushing to secure alternative supplies from Asia as the war on Iran disrupts a major foreign source. Read on

A breakthrough for solar durability: UNSW researchers discovered that thicker aluminum oxide layers protect TOPCon solar cells from UV damage by blocking hydrogen migration.
The culprit? High-energy UV photons break chemical bonds, releasing hydrogen that degrades performance. But 7nm AlOx layers act as an effective barrier.

Thicker alumunium oxide layers can reduce ultraviolet-induced degradation in TOPCon solar cells
UNSW researchers developed an experimentally validated model linking UV-induced degradation in TOPCon solar cells to hydrogen transport, charge trapping, and permanent structural changes in the passivation stack. They show that thicker aluminum oxide layers significantly improve UV resilience by limiting hydrogen migration, offering clear guidance for more robust TOPCon designs.

Life hack: an aluminum meat thawing tray is like 10x better than a cookie cooling rack for cooling desserts like cookies or cakes and stuff
Plus it’s obviously handy for thawing meat

Politik, die den Fortbestand von Geschäftsmodellen über den Fortbestand des Gemeinwesens stellt, ist menschen­verachtend.
Das fängt bei Einschränkung und künstlicher Verknappung gemeinschaftlicher Güter und Allmende an und geht bis zur Hinnahme bis zur Unterstützung oder Etablierung autoritärer und faschistischer Strukturen.
