Materials in lithium-ion battery cathodes have continuously evolved since the 1990s,
but anodes have stubbornly remained graphite.
Now, finally, there’s some innovation on that side: silicon anodes,
which engineers have struggled to master for a decade,
are finally coming into wide commercialization.
They enable up to five times the energy density of graphite anodes,
charge many times faster,
and are poised to revolutionize the battery market

Autistics do not have an "inflexible ethical system."
Most of you normies have "disturbingly malliable, easily-compromised ethics."

Since it's the 4th of July and also the 250th anniversary of the founding of the USA, a great occasion to remind people that this country has been an especially bad one from start to the present day. Worst atrocities you can imagine, throughout history? The US has participated in all of them. Slavery, genocide and colonialism, systematic war crimes, mass incarceration and concentration camps; you name it the US has done it not just once but multiple times. Now is a great time to rid yourself of patriotism and nationalism if you still have any remaining. That whole spiel about "striving for a more perfect Union"? It's a trap designed to keep you complacent and loyal-enough. Anything good you think was achieved was achieved by *people*, in spite of the nation, not because of it, and *way* too much of that shit is being knocked right back down again at the moment.

Reminder: #ResourceConsumption is a major problem - and over harvesting small fish to support #aquaculture of high value (aka expensive) seafood only adds to already full wallets, while creating more challenges for too-empty bellies.
Grinding up fish to feed to fish is ‘absurd’: fears …
Coho salmon spend their first summer in freshwater before heading out to sea
and later returning to the streams to breed.
Two years after the first artificial beaver dams were built,
more salmon were returning to the Scott River than to any of the other rivers monitored in the study.
And while salmon numbers elsewhere remained low, returns to the Scott River stayed healthy,
even during severe drought.
Small, low-cost interventions yielded big, impressive …
Imprisoned by fascist dictator Benito Mussolini in 1926,
the prison writings of Italian Marxist theorist Antonio Gramsci remain essential 100 years later
for understanding how fascism, policing, and incarceration function to suppress political dissent and preserve unequal systems of power.
In this episode of Rattling the Bars, former Black Panther and political prisoner Mansa Musa speaks with renowned scholar Alberto Toscano about the importance and terrifying relevance of…
When John Sayles, then a student at Williams College taking time off from his summer factory job,
was hitchhiking during the summer of 1970 in West Virginia,
it was often coalminers who picked him off the main interstate highways.
At the time, miners were amid the wake of a contentious union election within the United Mine Workers of America.
Fierce tensions had led to the murder of the union reform candidate Joseph Yablonskiand his wife in December 1969.
