Lithium-ion battery fires are becoming increasingly common as electric vehicles spread, and tend to explode when they catch fire.

A new approach uses an electrolyte based on a commercial fire extinguisher:

: "When we speak of commercial disruption today, we usually mean a tech company disrupting a non-tech company. Tinder disrupts singles bars. Netflix disrupts Blockbuster. Airbnb disrupts Marriott.

But the history of "disruption" features far more examples of tech companies disrupting other tech companies: DEC disrupts IBM. Netscape disrupts Microsoft. Google disrupts Yahoo. Nokia disrupts Kodak, sure – but then Apple disrupts Nokia. It's only natural that the businesses most vulnerable to digital disruption are other digital businesses.

And yet…disruption is nowhere to be seen when it comes to the tech sector itself. Five giant companies have been running the show for more than a decade. A couple of these companies (Apple, Microsoft) are Gen-Xers, having been born in the 70s, then there's a couple of Millennials (Amazon, Google), and that one Gen-Z kid (Facebook). Big Tech shows no sign of being disrupted, despite the continuous enshittification of their core products and services. How can this be? Has Big Tech disrupted disruption itself?" https://pluralistic.net/2024/02/08/permanent-overlords/#republicans-want-to-defund-the-police

St. Albert the Great, patron of scientists, offers wisdom in navigating today's Aquarius Moon's calls for innovation and the New Moon’s fresh beginnings. Pray for insight to blend faith with progress harmoniously.

Today's Moon transition in Aquarius invites reflection & innovation, blending with a New Moon phase for fresh starts. The biblical readings urge faith amidst division (1 Kings) & highlight healing (Mark 7). Saint Fiacre, patron of gardeners, symbolizes growth & renewal from spiritual and emotional "gardening". Pray for inner cultivation.

How a rare earth facility in Canada wants to clean up the dirty side of green energy

The plant in Saskatchewan won't just showcase less environmentally damaging processes. It also wants to take a bite out of a supply chain dominated by China.

Das blinde Vertrauen in KI als Innovationstreiber frustriert mich zunehmend. Innovationen ermöglichen es uns, Aufgaben besser oder kostengünstiger zu erledigen. Idealerweise beides, aber in den meisten Fällen müssen wir eine Abwägung machen. Rechtfertigen 50% geringere Kosten einen kleinen Qualitätsverlust? Sind 10% höhere Kosten für eine neue Funktion akzeptabel?
