Boom Aerospace, which is building a supersonic plane, announces Superpower, a 42MW natural gas turbine using Boom's supersonic engine, to power AI data centers (Boom)
https://boomsupersonic.com/flyby/ai-needs-more-power-than-the…

Boom - FlyBy - AI Needs More Power Than the Grid Can Deliver. Supersonic Tech Can Fix That.
Today, we’re announcing Superpower, our new 42 MW natural gas turbine, along with a $300M funding round and Crusoe as our launch customer.

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.

Some day in the future - some glorious day in the future - I hope that the maga government - from El Cheato through Miller, Noem, Vought, etc - will face tribunals.
They will, of course, demand our full panoply of due processes. And they will claim immunity as merely carrying out government business and powers.
Do they deserve those due processes or that we give credit to those claims of immunity?
The lawyer in me says "YES!!". The person in me says "Hold o…

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.

I just got back from dropping the motorcycle off at winter storage. That was my first time riding in the rain since the MSF course. It was a little terrifying.
