“I live in Accra, Ghana,” says Isaac Dinwe, who works for Closing the Loop, a Dutch NGO that’s seeking to increase recycling in the electronics industry. “The e-waste problem in my country is so huge we are unable to manage it. Most of our e-waste ends up in city centres. Informal workers extract what they […]

Thinking about Zelensky's proposal , it is maybe kind of smart , he forces Russia to agree with a cease-fire and stop attacking, otherwise elections are impossible. That is probably not acceptable for Russia along current frontlines. So Russia will very likely confirm it's status as agressor for the world and continue fighting?

Following the fatal shootings of American citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis last month,
Democrats have refused to support long-term funding for the Department of Homland Security unless Republicans agree to reforms on the tactics of federal agents carrying out Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.
“The American people rightfully expect their elected representatives to take action to rein in ICE and ensure no more lives are lost,” Senate minorit…

The German love for combustion is a perpetuum mobile.
68.5% of Germans believe that their car makers are not fully committed to electric mobility.
Furthermore, 47.8% believe that politicians do not view electric mobility as the technology of the future.

Abstract: The n2EDM experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute aims to conduct a high-sensitivity search for the electric dipole moment of the neutron. Magnetic stability and control are achieved through a combination of passive shielding, provided by a magnetically shielded room (MSR), and a surrounding active field compensation system by an Active Magnetic Shield (AMS). The AMS is a feedback-controlled system of eight coils spanned on an irregular grid, designed to provide magnetic stability to the enclosed volume by actively suppressing external magnetic disturbances. It can compensate static and variable magnetic fields up to $\pm 50$ $\mu$T (homogeneous components) and $\pm 5$ $\mu$T/m (first-order gradients), suppressing them to a few $\mu$T in the sub-Hertz frequency range. We present a full finite element simulation of magnetic fields generated by the AMS in the presence of the MSR. This simulation is of sufficient accuracy to approach our measurements. We demonstrate how the simulation can be used with an example, obtaining an optimal number and placement of feedback sensors using genetic algorithms.

In #Tützpatz hat #Vattenfall Deutschlands größten #AgriPV Park mit 76 MWp Leistung in Betrieb genommen.
Auf 93 Hektar werden

Deutschlands größter Agri-PV Park geht in Betrieb
Offizieller Dienstbeginn für ein Pionierprojekt der Energiewende: Heute (10.9.) nimmt Vattenfall den bis dato größten deutschen Agri-PV Park „Tützpatz“ in Betrieb. Es ist ein weiterer Schritt des Unternehmens, den Übergang zu fossilfreier Energie zu unterstützen und damit die Gesellschaft voranzubringen. Starke Partnerin ist die Deutsche Telekom AG. Sie nimmt den produzierten Grünstrom für zehn Jahre vollständig ab.
