An aluminum shield enables the amphipod Hirondellea gigas to inhabit deep-sea environments
The amphipod Hirondellea gigas inhabits the deepest regions of the oceans in extreme high-pressure conditions. However, the mechanisms by which this amphipod adapts to its high-pressure environment remain unknown. In this study, we investigated the elemental content of the exoskeleton of H. gigas specimens captured from the deepest points of the Mariana Trench. The H. gigas exoskeleton contained aluminum, as well as a major amount of calcium carbonate. Unlike other (accumulated) metals, aluminu…

The blue origin explosion used the same amount of c02 as recycling 8.5 million aluminum cans.

I designed, constructed and built a CD/DVD shelf. The main design goal was “lightweight”. The CD part is done, DVD part will have shorter boards and will be connected just around the corner below the lamp. And while the aluminium poles look a bit quirky and bent, I can assure you, they’re straight. Just some light/angle thing with the photo. #diy

Ahead of its 250th birthday, I make the case that the greatest work of American art ever produced is made of garbage and was assembled at the behest of God by a Black man working the night shift as a janitor in DC https://johnpaulbrammer.substack.com/p/americas-greatest-work-of-art-is
