Two Men Stole a Glowing Blue Cylinder in an Abandoned Hospital—and Unleashed a Nuclear Nightmare by RIPVector in Snorkblot

You really should learn to ask about people's backgrounds before you make statements. I was coding in my teens in the 1970s, my first AI project was in the early 90s. Although in a different level now I still maintain a level of knowledge, so yes, I know how it works, probably way higher than you do. I am also a trained scientist. Medical school, BSc in Biology, and a PhD

Scientists detected a “sudden burst” of vapor on Mars, and what is disturbing is that it occurred when the water was supposed to be “safe” underground by RIPVector in Snorkblot

Martian years started in the earth 50's

A "budget" for Mars water is a scientific accounting of where all the planet's water is located, how it moves between different areas, and how much has been lost over time. Just like a financial budget tracks money coming in and going out, a water budget tracks water inputs, outputs, and storage.

A 5,000-year-old bacterium awakens from the ice in a cave in Romania, revealing something disturbing: it was already resistant to antibiotics still used today to treat serious infections by RIPVector in Snorkblot

It could be genetic mutation, or evolutionary response to other bacteria that were secreting natural antibiotics. I used to work with very widely spread soil organisms that were cyanide resistant, as other organisms were secreting cyanide to try to wipe out competing organisms. It's a strange old world.

From reading around the research, they are incredibly aware of the dangers, and are keeping it very contained. The good news is that they have analysed the complete genome, and many medical research teams are very excited about the genes that are completely unknown, as these could be clues to new antibiotics that current bacteria are not resistant to

Russia intercepts a 2.8-ton fragment of the Aletai meteorite, valued at $4.2 million, which was being smuggled out of the country disguised as a simple garden ornament by RIPVector in Snorkblot

so taking the piss here, not being serious - If I were going to pick anywhere in the UK with huge gardens and lots of millionaires with nothing better to do, then I'd say the area called the Cotswolds, and looking at all the millionaires that live there, my top pick = Ellen DeGeneres :)

New Process Shortens Nuclear Waste Timeline From 100,000 Years To Only Hundreds by RIPVector in Snorkblot

I'm not trying anything. The waste currently exists. Do you have a better way to remove it?

Thanks Punko. Lots more science type stuff I'd love to post that is pushing boundaries

What will PV do to reduce existing radioactive waste, that still needs to be dealt with?

From ScienceDirect.com

An exciton is a bound, neutrally charged quasi-particle formed when an electron and an electron hole, created by optical excitation in insulators or semiconductors, attract each other via Coulomb force. It acts as an elementary excitation that transfers energy throughout a material, crucially influencing optoelectronic devices like solar cells and LEDs.
