Cowboys biggest issue on offense is one of durability at this position https://cowboyswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/cowboys/2026/02/09/tyler-guyton-blindside-durability-cowboys/88580651007/

Concrete is a mix of several different materials:
water, fine aggregates (or sand), coarse aggregates (or gravel), chemical additives,
and, most importantly, cement.
Cement is what binds all of these ingredients together to give concrete its durability and distinctive, grey appearance.
Cement production, however, also generates most of concrete’s emissions:
🔥In fact, cement accounts for around 8% of all CO2 emissions worldwide

Concrete
Concrete is among the world’s most consumed materials—second only to water. It also produces large amounts of heat-trapping greenhouse gases.

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.

Advances in artificial vision systems: a comprehensive review of technologies, applications, and future directions - Biomedical Engineering Letters
This review article focuses on recent advancements and persistent challenges in artificial vision prostheses designed to restore sight for patients affected by retinal diseases. It comprehensively examines various approaches, including epiretinal, subretinal, and suprachoroidal implants, as well as optic nerve and visual cortex stimulation strategies. The critical role of the retina in visual perception is explored, emphasizing how retinal degeneration affects the transmission of visual informa…

I have an expired credit card with a metal core that I want to destroy. I originally thought the core was an aluminum alloy, but it resisted scissors. With some bending and prying, I'm 99% sure the core is steel.
After a few minutes of work, I managed to peel some of the plastic off the mag-stripe side but cut a finger in the process.
The card had a pleasant heft and feeling of durability, but given the difficulty to destroy it, I really dislike it now.
