There's no doubt that hydrogen holds a lot of promise as the clean energy source of the future. After all, when it is used as fuel, its only output is water. What remains an outstanding question about its use, though, is how to store it. Hydrogen is highly flammable and finding ways to contain it safely has proven to be quite a challenge for researchers.

Titanium alloys are expensive, but highly useful materials frequently used in situations requiring high strength, low weight, and resistance to things like corrosion and high temperatures. They're often found in aerospace, high-end automotive, construction, sports, industrial and health applications.

First appearing in the early 1970s, neural field theory (NFT) combines an understanding of brain anatomy and physiology with math to model large-scale brain activity. Previous predictions using NFT have suggested that the shape of the brain may be more fundamental to its functioning than the neuronal connections between regions. Now, researchers from Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, have tested those predictions to see whether they’re true.

This Unique Plant Turns Carnivorous When The Mood Strikes

➖ @sciencetoall ➖

A trickle of studies warning that the enormous variety of living things on Earth is diminishing has turned into a flood. The evidence for these losses within regions and globally is undeniable. But data on biodiversity, and what is causing its decline, is still patchy – restricted to some causes, some places and some species. That isn’t the case for birds in Europe, however.

Europe has lost over half a billion birds in 40 years. The single biggest cause? Pesticides and fertiliserst

Scientists have successfully detected the X-ray signature of a single atom for the first time. Using a pioneering technique known as synchrotron X-ray scanning tunneling microscopy (SX-STM), the team was able to identify and characterize individual atoms, opening new possibilities in environmental, medical, and quantum research.

Scientists have successfully designed the world’s first 2D microchip using synthetic materials.

A scientist says spending 93 days underwater has turned back the aging clock and left him 10 years younger.

Snails and their abilities

A few interesting details about how the Apple Vision Pro glasses work.

- In virtual reality, you can: type on the keyboard, draw with a stylus, swipe, and "pick up" objects.

- Still, a few journalists were allowed to test the Vision Pro. According to them, the virtual reality picture is really stunning and you can really look at the "real world" without any difficulty. A journalist from The Verge says he was able to write a note on his phone without taking off his glasses. Of the minuses: with peripheral vision, you can see black areas that don't cover the glasses.

Sand in a desert dune demonstrating a similar type of landslide called retrogressive where failure forms at the bottom, progressing up a slope. Due to the absence of cohesion and shape of the grains, this phenomenon is possible in sands.

Sensitive clays are known for producing retrogressive landslides, also called spread or flowslides. The key characteristics associated with the occurrence of these landslides on a sensitive clay slope must be evaluated, and the potential retrogressive distance must be evaluated.

Retrogressive landslides in sensitive clays often occur following a single major perturbation, such as an earthquake, or they may occur after a large number of annual load cycles at a geological time scale, with the final trigger related to a minor and seemingly innocuous perturbation. These failure events can therefore occur without any obvious warning signs. The potential retrogressive distance of these landslides can also reach values much greater than 100 m. This uncertainty in their behavior emphasizes the importance of determining where these landslides can occur.

The American company Migo Robotics has developed a robot vacuum cleaner that can walk on steps. The Ascender vacuum cleaner was created by a team of engineers from Google, Boston Dynamics, Dyson, and Ecovacs.

A pair of articulated legs lifts the body of the robot up the steps as it moves up the stairs. In doing so, the Ascender continues to clean. The assistant is also equipped with omnidirectional wheels for moving on a flat surface.

And Migo Robotics used LiDAR to map the room and track the cleaning route.

Well, well, well… all progressive Dutch students are already in China… who will go to Dutch universities in 2023?????! What for????!
