Jau.

Wir haben es schon immer gesagt, hatte nie irgeneinen Effekt. Jetzt pfeifen es die Spatzen von den Dächern aber auch da glaub ich nicht dran, dass das hier wen erreicht:

Der Grund dafür warum #Deutschland international nicht (mehr) wettbewerbsfähig ist, liegt in dieser extrem schrägen #Exportfixierung hier. Das ist schon fast pathologisch.

Eine Handvoll #Firmen in Verbindung mit der gesamten #Politik halten das Land quasi in Geiselhaft & ersticken #Innovation.

🥚 NEW: Space junk threatens #spacecraft and #astronauts. Engineers at Dalian University of #Technology built #aluminum "eggshell" arrays that deform together to spread impact #energy, with #water-filled versions dampening shockwaves further, cutting a projectile’s velocity by nearly 65% in tests.

💩 NEW: #Concrete’s main ingredient, #cement, is a major source of #CO2.

Researchers replaced part of the cement with #biochar made from heat-treated human #sewage. Mixes with 5 and 10% replacement gained up to 42% more strength after curing. The silica-rich, porous biochar appears to hold #water and aid chemical bonding.

A society that forces an 80-year-old to use a smartphone just to access basic services is not modern. It has chosen to leave its elders behind.

When booking a doctor or paying a bill requires a smartphone, the system has failed. That isn't innovation. It's exclusion disguised as progress.

Technology should make life easier, not decide who can participate with dignity. Leaving our elders behind isn't progress. It's selfishness.

The very same people who let out an unsupervised #AI attack website and businesses without acknowledging until they can't hide it, are the same people who are pushing over to create new power plants.

Imagine a gas or (worse) nuclear power plant managed with the same "oopsie" approach.

Technology doesn't scare me too much. It's how people with too much of it who scares the fuck out of me.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🧊🔬 Researchers at the University of #Amsterdam made 3D printed #ice structures without a freezer by sending room temperature #water into a low pressure chamber.

The droplets cool quickly through evaporation and freeze almost at once. The method can make delicate shapes faster than older cold surface techniques and may be useful for molds, lab channels, tissue scaffolds, and possibly building on #Mars.

Forscher des Korea Railroad Research Institute haben ein wärmeblockierendes Textil entwickelt, das seitlich an Bahnschienen angebracht wird. Das Problem dahinter: Im Sommer können Schienen durch Sonneneinstrahlung auf über 60 Grad aufheizen, was zu thermischen Verformungen führt. 🚂

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🎒🏞️ The Smithsonian traces backpack #design from a two-million-year-old practice to Ötzi’s hazel-and-board frame around 3300 BCE, then follows improvements through a #CivilWar cavalry officer’s patented canvas-and-metal pack, a #Duluth #canoe-hauling design, #aluminum-frame #mountaineering models, and the nylon #JanSport that made the #backpack a school staple. Roughly 450 million are sold annually.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦋✨ #Butterfly wing #color comes from #pterin crystals that bend and scatter #light rather than absorb it, keeping colors vivid without fading.

Chemists developed a faster method to grow these #crystals without toxic solvents, producing small amounts of eco-friendly, non-toxic #pigment. The work points toward glitter made from #DNA-related compounds as a planet-friendlier alternative.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: A team of scientists engineered an electrospun purple #fabric that reflects about 88% of sunlight and stays cooler than white #cotton in outdoor tests.

In direct #sun, it ran up to 6º C (11º F) cooler than dyed purple cotton, and on simulated skin it beat uncovered skin by nearly 8º C. The lightweight #textile also kept its cooling effect after 50 wash cycles and showed strong durability under #UV exposure.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: ♻️🔥 #Chemical engineers at the University of #Surrey made a proof-of-concept #plastic that turns to gas at about 90º C and reassembles into a solid as it cools.

A #London-based lab demonstrated the polymer’s reversible behavior by coating paper and then heating the coating away. The team frames the material not as a fix for #pollution but as a step toward more recyclable plastics.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🔍🏛️ A #study from the University of #Exeter shows that as early as the 1830s, a #London #realestate firm called Brooks and Hedger used cosmoramas to sell high-end estates.

A #cosmorama was a gallery of #paintings viewed through a magnifying lens, giving the illusion of depth and depth of field. Artists hand-painted bird’s-eye views of each listing, offering buyers an early “virtual tour” more than a century before the #internet.

Trendy new wheat proves its potential in the Maritimes
Researchers on P.E.I. have wrapped up a three-year project looking at a new wheat called Kernza. It comes back year after year, so farmers save money on seed, plowing and fertilizer. But as CBC’s Nancy Russell reports, it’s been a bigger hit south of the border.

"China's open-weight models can run on anyone's servers, meaning that #compute is less of a problem than the headline numbers suggest.

#China also has almost three times as much installed electricity-generating capacity as #America, and its lead is growing."

I think Europe leads neither in energy nor compute, but we do have a lot of experience with abuse of totalitarian power.

This sensitivity resulted in early european #regulations and legal #restrictions.

We will see which approach benefits societies most!

Deutschland braucht weniger Stau und mehr Innovation. Deshalb: Rhein mit gefluteten Logistiktunnel unterbauen und autonome Cargo-U-Boote mit E-Fuels losschicken. Technologieoffenheit heißt auch Ideen umzusetzen bevor man sie prüft. #Innovation #Technologieoffenheit


💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🫁🧪 #MIT engineers created a #hydrogel with microscopic air channels inspired by human #lungs.

The material is 70% #water but lets #oxygen and water vapor pass through 10 times better than conventional hydrogels. In small human tests skin stayed cool and dry during #exercise while silicone patches caused sweating and a 6.5°C temperature rise.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🔫☀️ Scientists in #Germany bought centuries-old lead musket balls on eBay and turned them into high-purity #solar cell components.

Using an electrochemical process, they extracted lead iodide at 94% efficiency and then purified it to 99.999% through #crystal growth. The resulting solar cells performed at 21% efficiency, matching control cells made from brand new commercial lead.
