Credit: Ying Zheng, Western University, London, Ontario, Canada; and Yimin Zeng, Natural Resources Canada–CanmetMaterials, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada Carbon dioxide capture, storage, and utilization have been widely researched to achieve CO2 zero emission and resolve climate change issues. Molten salt electrolysis is one promising method to simultaneously capture and convert CO2 into valuable carbon materials and oxygen with high current efficiencies, to provide a promisingly positive cash flow. However, this method still requires investigation for future scale-up applications. A team of scientists has reviewed the molten salt CO2 electrolysis’s process…

The Last Professional by Ed Davis Reviews really matter. Sometimes they even put undue pressure on other reviewers — like me. Before I read The Last Professional by Ed Davis (Artemesia Publishing, LLC), I saw this testimonial about the book from Jerry Cimino, Founder of the Beat Museum in San Francisco: “Davis has done for American railroads what Kerouac did for American highways and Steinbeck did for American nomads.” Sucked in by that comment, I was more interested to learn how Davis does it, rather than whether in fact he does it at all. Because the truth is, at least…
As far as genre-play goes, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2 Episode 4 is the first foray into horror this season. Rather than being preyed upon by the Gorn or confounded by a shocking alien cultural practice, Pike is confronted by a past mission that has haunted him, only to lose his memory and identity in a terrifying spiral into cognitive oblivion. Meanwhile, the ship’s survival relies on Ortegas knowing who she is despite forgetting everything about herself. It’s a true dilemma — can you still have a sense of self without any recall of the details? Our favorite…
The Caribbean reef shark is threatened by fishingAndy Mann The number of rays is growing in coral reef ecosystems around the world as overfishing obliterates shark populations. The findings come from a global study using thousands of underwater cameras to survey shark and ray prevalence at 391 coral reefs in 67 nations. It found far fewer sharks than would be expected, with populations of species including blacktip reef sharks, whitetip reef sharks, nurse sharks and grey reef sharks having completely disappeared from reefs in some places.Advertisement The populations of five of the most common reef shark species were 60 to…

A year later, he was hailed as a driving force behind the mainstream wave of “dad fashion.” There’s a certain je ne sais quoi about the 56-year-old’s comfort-first…

The diabetes drug Ozempic has become a household name as a powerful weight-loss treatment. Its cousin Wegovy, specifically marketed for weight loss, contains the same active ingredient — semaglutide — and is similarly skyrocketing in popularity. But some people say the drugs have helped them do more than lose weight — people struggling with addiction are reporting that the drug has caused them to completely lose interest in alcohol, drugs and even obsessive shopping habits, The Atlantic reported in May.Though these anecdotes may seem random, they are actually supported by more than 20 years of research, experts told Live Science.

When the demo for the remake of Resident Evil 4 dropped in March, one presiding concern stood above all others: Would Leon say “Where’s everyone going? Bingo?”The line comes early in the game, right after our coiffured all-American hero has seen his police escort burned alive. Leon is about to be butchered by pitchfork and chainsaw-wielding Spanish farmers, but then a tolling bell suddenly psychically summons them away. The line is amazingly stupid, and if he doesn’t say it, I thought after seeing news of the demo, I’m joining the mob outside the Capcom offices. (Reader, rest assured, the villagers…

If ChatGPT and generative AI live up to even a tenth of the hype surrounding them, wide-scale job losses might seem inevitable. But new economic data shows that the last big leap in AI did not coincide with a reduction of jobs in affected industries—despite widespread fears of rapid replacement at the time.In a new research paper, economists looked at the job market across a number of European countries between 2011 and 2019. That’s the period during which the AI technique deep learning emerged as a powerful way to automate tasks like transcribing speech, analyzing images, and making algorithmic recommendations…

DC has long had a home on television over at The CW. Unfortunately for fans of the shows, that era may be coming to an end.Despite DC having a strong presence on the channel for years with shows like Arrow and The Flash, Gotham Knights was one of the only DC properties left on the channel at this point.

And now the CW has announced Gotham Knights will be canceled, after just one season on the air.Gotham Knights follows Turner Hayes,…
The universe is expanding too fast. Or is it doing so too slow? Or maybe its expansion is just a steady, ominous trundle toward a long-distant nothingness. Cosmologists have grappled with these distinctly different possibilities for generations. Now, at last, the truth may be in sight. We know the universe is expanding and, thanks to work that won 2011’s Nobel Prize in Physics, a mysterious “dark energy” seems to be accelerating this expansion. “We needed a force that would be responsible for this acceleration,” says Mathilde Jauzac, an astrophysicist at Durham University in the England. Both dark energy and hypothesized…
I’ve always loved the look of a basket bag, but as a small-bag (often micro-bag) fan, I just didn’t think I would wear it that much. I was wrong. The style goes with absolutely every outfit, I can carry so much in it without having to bring a grubby canvas tote wherever I go, and a straw bag just feels like summer. Sure, the designer styles are an investment, but considering you’ll wear them with every outfit, each summer, for the rest of time, I can vouch for the fact they’re worthy of the splurge. So keep scrolling to see the other designer…

Senior Vice President of Gallery Books Jennifer Bergstrom said, “Britney’s compelling testimony…
“If I can’t look at you some days, if I can’t work with you… it’s because all I have are my memories. And I don’t want to remember Glenn like that.” That’s Maggie (Lauren Cohan) talking to Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) in The Walking Dead’s series finale, but on a more abstract level, her words have a larger application: this franchise’s insistence on pairing her character with the man who killed her husband. Love it or hate it, putting Maggie and Negan together again was a storytelling move that surprised many when the spinoff was first announced. And much like…
