Good. But also, I’ll need to remember to stay off the outdoors forums for a bit. They’re going to be angry (well angrier than normal).
Way outside of my comfort zone of science smarts but if this is true it has major implications of global proportions. Wars will be averted IMO.
“show 53 people were the victim of homicide in 2021/22“
About as many as a month in Philadelphia.
And for scale, Philadelphia has about 30% of the population.
Gee, I wonder what a major U.S. city has in more abundance, then, to facilitate the higher homicide rate?

It’s the cheesesteaks?
Some people would kill for a proper cheesesteak.
Plan ahead for tomorrow!
Encouraging…
… but (excerpt)
“… their capacity for generating electricity has so far been restricted by their lack of efficiency compared to traditional solar cells.”
This isn’t really news but when I checked my Twitter feed that I rarely do to see if algorithms have changed this was the third post.
Dad’s are awesome, that’s encouraging.
For those that already banished Twitter.
After reading the article, I agree it was poorly phrased, but this caught my eye:
The latest development pushes the power conversion efficiency to between 28.4-30.2 per cent, while still maintaining long-term operational stability over 500 hours of testing.
From the abstract.

Hydroxamic acid preadsorption raises efficiency of cosensitized solar cells

Nature, 2022
The best performing cosensitized solar cells exhibited a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 15.2% (independently confirmed 15.2%)
… with some tests showing 30% conversion. So that’s amazing…
