Working on a project that‘s still in development (creative development) and today I wrote up my recommendations for where it might register its domain names, since the project may not be to the current US presidential administration’s liking.
It is odd that that’s a reasonable concern.
Without a massive (and expensive) site reliability engineering (SRE) team, figuring out what might make things more resilient affordably is a nice way to try to find some control amid the chaos. …

Sydney’s First Upcycled Skyscraper Named Finalist for 2025 Earthshot Prize | Happy Eco News
Sydney’s Quay Quarter Tower, the world’s first upcycled skyscraper, has been named a finalist for the 2025 Earthshot Prize. The retrofit retained 65% of its structure, avoided 12,000 tonnes of embodied carbon, and doubled usable space. The project proves that reusing old towers can replace demolition as a sustainable, profitable alternative.

Sometimes innovation is quite simple 🙂

Imagine a field where solar panels and crops coexist—with no trade-off. It sounds like science fiction, but that's precisely what researchers from Aarhus University have now documented in a full-scale agrivoltaic pilot project in the Danish countryside.

The study of the chemical composition of star-forming regions is key to understand the chemical ingredients available during the formation of planetary systems. Given that the chemical inventory on interstellar dust grains in the prestellar phases might be altered due to the prostostellar warm-up, an alternative to infer the chemical composition on the grains could be to observe regions affected by shocks associated with molecular outflows. Such shocks can desorb the molecules, and might produc…
