After months of intensive collaboration, I am thrilled to present our latest #paper: a review of zinc-based rechargeable #battery technologies and a techno-economic analysis of the various battery types. Many thanks to my co-authors for the excellent collaboration. #battchat

The new vent that opened on the morning of 27 December 2027 on the upper east flank of the Voragine crater at the summit of #Etna, seen in Strombolian eruption on the evening of the 28th. This activity has been continuing over the past 24 hours without significant variations. Seen from south
A jet of incandescent lava fragments shoots from a vent that opened on the morning of 27 December 2025 on the upper eastern flank of the Voragine crater at the summit of Etna, on the evening of the 28th. This type of activity is known as "Strombolian", after the volcano Stromboli in the Aeolian Islands north of Sicily. The snow-covered peak at right is the Southeast Crater, which last erupted in August 2025. View from the town of Nicolosi, on the south flank of Etna.

#OTD in 2019, astronaut Christina Koch broke the record for the longest continuous time in #space by a woman (breaking Peggy Whitson's record of 289 days, 5h & 1m).

Eventually returning on Feb 6, 2020 & setting the new record for the longest single spaceflight by a woman at 328 days. #WomenInSTEM

Heute vor 139 Jahren: 1886: Die erste, gebrauchsfähige, handbetriebene Geschirrspülmaschine wird in den USA auf die Erfinderin Josephine Cochrane (1839 – 1913) patentiert.

Das Bild ist oval und hat einen sepiafarbenen Farbton, der einen historischen Eindruck vermittelt. Die Frau schaut ernst und direkt in die Kamera. Briefbeschreibung einer Briefmarke: Die Briefmarke zeigt ein Porträt von Josephine Cochrane sowie eine skizzierte Darstellung ihrer Erfindung, der ersten Geschirrspülmaschine. Oben steht "Prima mașină de spălat vase" und das Jahr "A.D. 1908". Unten ist der Preis von 3,30 L und der Künstlername "Răzvan Popescu" zu sehen. Die Briefmarke stammt aus dem Jahr 2013.

My wife & son provide a sense of scale to the fault scarp (in shadow) of the M~7.5 1872 Lone Pine earthquake.
In a few seconds that horrible night, the ground where the shadow stops dropped suddenly away from the ground where my family is standing, a throw of ~22 feet. ⚒️
A woman and a teenager, both wearing puffy down jackets, stand in the sunlight atop alluvial fan deposits (lots of rounded granite bounders). To the right, these gravels drop suddenly in shadow to similar looking sediment back in the sunlight again on the valley floor to the west. View is to the north. Alabama Hills bedrock visible in the far distance on the left, and White/Inyo mountains in the very far distance on the right. The sky is clear and blue.

With space at a premium and the advance of new digitisation techniques, why does retaining over 600 km of physical rock core remain of national importance?

Ein dreiteiliger Comic-Strip: Ein Mann in Anzug und mit orangefarbenen Haaren denkt im ersten Panel nachdenklich: „Am Ende des Jahres ist es an der Zeit...“. Im zweiten Panel fährt er fort: „...einmal zurückzublicken“ und wirkt resigniert. Im dritten Panel schreit er entsetzt auf und hält die Hände vor den Mund.

🔋China has finalized hundreds of new and revised national standards, including EV battery safety rules.

The updated standard, GB 38031-2025, takes effect July 1, 2026, and requires EV batteries to not catch fire or explode under standard test conditions.

Happy Holidays everyone! Since today is Christmas Day, I thought I would post a #Christmas #rock from #Norway. #Eclogite is an ultra-high pressure rock created in #subduction zones (~90 km depth). It is made of #garnet (red) and #omphacite (green).

It begins.

The EU lawmaker who was in charge of digital affairs during 🇪🇺President von der Leyen's first term has been banned from entering the United States, because the 🇺🇸 tech giants and government don't like the EU's tech laws.
