Archaeologists have discovered the oldest evidence yet of a wooden structure crafted by the hands of a human ancestor. Two tree trunks, notched like Lincoln Logs, were preserved at the bottom of the Kalambo River in Zambia. If the logs’ estimated 476,000-year-old age is correct, it means that woodworking might predate the...
What will they do when they unearth a large monolith 😬
But seriously, it is hard to really grasp that something like cabin building was happening half a million years ago. I guess that river might have been following a different path then?
they are constrained by physics to always be heavier and have less energy density than a lithium battery. Forever. No matter what they do.
So? There are many applications for batteries where size and weight are not primary considerations.
You know that lead acid battery in your car? Yeah, that’s a “water based battery”.
Cool, I am glad you know what water is. These batteries are not those. Irrelevant to the conversation.
I will never be a replacement for lithium. Ever. The article is almost as nonsense as the “research”.
What's your point? I choose to be optimistic about the potential this offers, rather than castigate it as worthless. This is how science works. It is not nonsense.
