Electric car batteries degrade over time, but typically less than a lot of people think. Many are still over 80% capacity after 200,000 miles.

Most manufacturers are now giving 8+ years warranty.

My Substack from this week:

How much do electric car batteries degrade?
Many electric cars will still have more than 80% of their initial capacity after 200,000 miles.

Interested in self-driving labs for sustainable polymer additives? If so, there's a PhD project with @nwarren.bsky.social and me that you might like. www.findaphd.com/phds/project...
It is competition based and includes UK tuition fees and an enhanced stipend thanks to our industry partner. #chemsky

A picture of eight almonds. The almonds are arranged two at a time with the tapered ends touching - they look like four chemdraw p-orbitals. Each "orbital" has a wavefunction and a coefficient written under it, and the over all wavefunction for the p-orbitals is the sum of all the individual orbital wavefunctions. This is a linear combination of almond orbitals - also known as LCAO.

Today’s poem is called ‘The Importance of the Oxford Comma’.
The Importance of the Oxford Comma   Owing to ambiguities caused by its omission, the Oxford comma was the subject of a petition raised by serious serialists keen to ensure its mandatory use in lists of three things or more.   And what a response! From across every nation, the signatures poured in beyond all expectation – from the investment bankers, robbers and thieves, to the politicians, self-servers and exponents of sleaze.   There were the Daily Mail readers, the clowns and deluded; the climate change deniers, the daft and the stupid; the morally bankrupt, Donald Trump and Piers Morgan; Elon Musk, a Bond villain and a trafficker of organs;   plus the poets, the drug fiends and chronically poor – all supported this change to grammatical law. This formal petition was then presented in hope to Sir David Attenborough, the King and the Pope. Brian Bilston

This would be a major setback.

Science and R&D is one of the strengths of the UK. The Horizon negotiations and a decade of flat cash have already done great damage, doubling down would be a grave mistake

Humans aren’t the only ones to misunderstand the context and implication of Bible texts. The picture shows an AI created image of the phrase “Jesus flipping over the tables in the temple“ showing Jesus doing a backflip over tables in a temple.

A #chemsky exclusive. The first 3 people to reply with the title of the talk being presented at #ACSfall2024 will get some kind of ChemScrapey stupid picture (specially drawn) to use if they want.

This is not happening anywhere else (except for a spontaneous one I did that prompted this).

Chemical Innovation were really good sports to publish pre-ChemScrapes material. The cartoon here is quite a specific reaction to make a silly cartoon of, and Chemical Innovation was really a general chemical technology magazine. Have always appreciated the opportunity.
a cartoon picture of a wolf. The head is where the left arm should be, the left arm is where the right leg should be. The right leg is where the tail should be. The tail is where the right arm should be. The right arm is where the head should be. Folks....this is the Wolf rearrangement.

Now this is really amazing since it might give us a lot of new insights e.g. into the changes of roman defensive posture at the end of the 3rd century.
