Bazza Posted March 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 Physicists Just Found a Loophole in Graphene That Could Unlock Clean, Limitless Energy https://futurism.com/physicists-found-loophole-graphene-unlock-clean-limitless-energy/ "By Thibado’s calculations, a single ten micron by ten micron piece of graphene could produce ten microwatts of power. It mightn’t sound impressive, but given you could fit more than 20,000 of these squares on the head of a pin, a small amount of graphene at room temperature could feasibly power something small like a wrist watch indefinitely." "This research was published in Physical Review Letters." https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.117.126801 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazza Posted March 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Cyclone has passed. Massive cleanup begins. Most of the city has lost power. And been told to boil water for 48 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 End of quarter here. Been kinda busy. Graded papers all weekend, still grading papers now. Giving exam tomorrow (after which I'll have yet more papers to grade). Yeah, I have been delinquent in my grading this term. Paying for it now.
