I thought babygirls were helpless middle aged men? Or has Tumblr broken my brain?

Saying she’s a better choice than Joe or Trump is not idolizing. Take it from me, a coconut pilled internet brained phone banker.

Abstract of the original study paper. Couldn’t get the whole paper. Behind a paywall.

Abstract Radiative cooling significantly lowers condenser temperatures below ambient levels, enabling atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) without additional energy. However, traditional sky-facing condensers have low cooling power density, and water droplets remain pinned on surface, requiring active condensate collection. To overcome these challenges, a lubricated surface (LS) coating—consisting of highly scalable polydimethylsiloxane elastomer lubricated with silicone oil—is introduced on the condenser side in a vertical double-sided architecture. The design not only effectively doubles the local cooling power, but also eliminates contact-line pinning, enabling passive, gravity-driven collection of water. Robust AWH is demonstrated from a 30 × 30 cm2 sample in outdoor environments (of varying humidity levels and wind speeds in different months) and with no artificial flow of humidified air. In one outdoor test, the passive water collection rate of LS coating reaches 21 g m−2 h−1 double that on superhydrophobic surface, 10 g m−2 h−1. In indoor testing (20 °C and 80% relative humidity), this system achieves a condensation rate ≈87% of the theoretical limit with up to 90% of the total condensate passively collected. this approach achieves effective AWH in a decentralized approach that removes the need for piping infrastructure and external energy input

Beat me to it.

It’s part of the attempt to more accurately define Avogadro’s number and the kilo.

Right? Didn’t they define the kilogram, make identical copies of the standard, sent them to different countries, then after years, reunited them and found they all diverged in mass?

And now they have made a perfect silicon sphere with the same mass as the standard kilogram, then counted all the atoms. So now we know the exact mass in silicon atoms of a kilo.

Let’s just define tagliatelle in light nanoseconds and be done with it.

From all the fire jokes people have been telling about his forum days?

In the pawpaw patch‽‽‽

Feed them to Poseidon. He likes the taste. And so do the boneworms!

The purple sulfur bacteria provide strong support for the purple Earth hypothesis.

In short, early Earth was largely anoxic. Since the sun’s energy reaches Earth’s surface most efficiently in the green region of the visible spectrum, the most energy-efficient way for early photosynthesizers would have been to absorb green light while reflecting red and blue—resulting in a purple color.

To compete, a new group of organisms evolved that reflected green light and absorbed red and blue to make sugars. This group also produced oxygen, which was toxic to the anoxic purple sulfur bacteria. As the Earth became increasingly oxygenated, these green photosynthesizers outcompeted the purple ones.

Purple sulfur bacteria still exist today but are limited to oxygen-free environments.

“Uninstall”

Sure…

Any headline pumping site, I always go find the original cited article. I trust the researchers who did the thing over someone who has a minor understanding and a good domain name.

Tho, I do like the articles on phys.org. They often seem to have direct quotes from the authors of the research, like they actually spoke to someone. But they are less space focused and more general science news from across the spectrum.

When I complete something my anxiety about completing it goes away. But no dopamine. Just a drop in adrenaline and cortisol.

What I would give to have a dopamine response without feeding my brain my ADHD pills.

They are paraphrasing from the original news release, but poorly.

The gas cloud is being hit with so many photons of light from the stars that it is shining extremely brightly

Photons of light from the stars, as opposed to light from other things.

Generally poorly worded, but I can see what they are trying to convey. But they could have done it better.

Jokes on you, I keep my bills rolled in my foreskin.

I hope he is personally sued for emotional distress amongst other things. Big egos need to be shown the door.

Sounds accurate to me.

That’s a paradoxical stimulant response.

Same way my Adderrall works. Having ADHD is weird.
