🔬 Results: Hydrogen Production with Microalgae🌿⚡
One of my most exciting findings relates to the hydrogen production capability of the Scenedesmus obtusiusculus algae. Under anaerobic conditions, during direct photolysis, hydrogen production peaked within 96 hours, especially at high cell concentrations (10⁷ cells/ml).
This result confirms that microalgae can efficiently produce biohydrogen, a clean and sustainable energy source. The next step is optimizing these processes for industrial applications.
The future of green energy lies in microscopic powerhouses! 🌱💡

Earth’s most famous killer asteroid came from the outer reaches of the solar system, researchers report in the Aug. 16 Science.
About 66 million years ago, an asteroid slammed into the sea just off Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, forming the Chicxulub crater. That powerful impact may have triggered a mass extinction event on Earth, killing off more than 60 percent of the planet’s species, including all nonbird dinosaurs (SN: 1/25/17). The impact left geochemical fingerprints, such as elevated levels of the element iridium, in a thin layer of rock found in multiple countries around the globe (SN: 9/8/84).

In the quest to build a quantum internet, scientists are putting their memories to the test. Quantum memories, that is.
Quantum memories are devices that store fragile information in the realm of the very small. They’re an essential component for scientists’ vision of quantum networks that could allow new types of communication, from ultra-secure messaging to linking up far-flung quantum computers (SN: 6/28/23). Such memories would help scientists establish quantum connections, or entanglement, throughout a network (SN: 2/12/20).

Did you know that rosemary water or tea one of the most healthy drink?
You can drink it for bacterial infections, and skip the antibiotic treatment (if you have light infection, that’s not a treatment for every disease!)!

Today I read an article about how scientists used radioactive beams to treat tumors with millimeter precision, in MICE. This could significantly improve cancer treatment, especially in sensitive areas near vital organs. That can save a lot of people!!

A very complicated physics problem that has driven many people crazy and even to death trying to find a solution. It has to do with gravity and the movement of planets and stars. It ended up gaining notoriety thanks to Liu Cixin's book. But this SciCast is not about the book… it's about the problem! /scicast lover 💜
In this episode we will delve into the fascinating world of the planned economy. Positioning itself as a force contrary to the free market, the planned economy offers solutions and challenges.
We will discuss how planned economic systems work, their advantages and disadvantages, and how they compare to free market models. In addition, we will look at historical and contemporary examples of planned economies, discussing their successes and failures.

I've never seen 1 pseudoscientist (SciCast #613)
What happens when scientific thinking goes down the wrong path? Today we are going to talk about pseudoscience, its origins and effects. And also, why, in a society full of information, it still exists, and who benefits from it. /scicast
Hope you like it dear @mouseprincess 💜

Cancer-busting particle beams have been caught in the act.
Particle beams can provide a blast of destructive energy directly to tumors — assuming the beam is in the right place. Now, using a radioactive beam, scientists pinpointed the beam’s location while treating tumors in mice. It’s the first successful treatment of tumors with a radioactive beam, scientists report in a paper submitted September 23 at arXiv.org.
The technique could eventually allow scientists to treat human patients with millimeter precision — particularly important when a tumor is nestled next to a sensitive organ such as the spinal cord or brain stem.

The ocean’s circulatory system may not be doing as poorly as previously thought.
A vital ocean artery known as the Florida Current, a bellwether for the ocean’s ability to regulate Earth’s climate, has seemingly been weakening for decades. But that recent decline might not be quite as severe as suspected. The current has actually remained stable over recent decades, researchers report September 5 in Nature Communications.
A previously reported decline in the flow had prompted speculations that a major system of ocean currents — known for regulating Earth’s climate — may have weakened recently due to human-caused climate change. Some researchers have suggested that the larger system, known as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC, could collapse sometime this century, dramatically cooling the northern hemisphere and raising the sea level along some Atlantic coastlines by up to 70 centimeters.

Neutrinos are known for funny business. Now scientists have set a new limit on a quantum trait responsible for the subatomic particles’ quirkiness: uncertainty.
The lightweight particles morph from one variety of neutrino to another as they travel, a strange phenomenon called neutrino oscillation (SN: 10/6/15). That ability rests on quantum uncertainty, a sort of fuzziness intrinsic to the properties of quantum objects, such as their location or momentum. But despite the importance of quantum uncertainty, the uncertainty in the neutrino’s position has never been directly measured. https://www.sciencenews.org/article/neutrinos-quantum-fuzziness-uncertainty
