 Nuclear power: why is it so unpopular? | The Economist - Mar 05, 2021
Economist (46,026 Views;14 min.) |
|
| The meltdown at a nuclear power station in Fukushima, Japan, ten years ago stoked anxieties about nuclear energy. But nuclear is one of the safest, most reliable and sustainable forms of energy, and decarbonising will be much more difficult without it.

 Autonomous Robotic Team Rapidly Learning New Environments - Mar 04, 2021
PHYS.ORG - Technology (54 Views;10 min.) |
|
| This paper describes and demonstrates an autonomous robotic team that can rapidly learn the characteristics of environments that it has never seen before. The flexible paradigm is easily scalable to multi-robot, multi-sensor autonomous teams, and is relevant to satellite calibration/validation and the creation of new remote sensing data products. A case study is described for the rapid characterization of the aquatic environment, over a period of just a few minutes we acquired thousands of training data points. This training data allowed our machine learning algorithms to rapidly learn by example and provide wide-area maps of the composition of the environment. Alongside these larger autonomous robots, two smaller robots that can be deployed by a single individual were also deployed (a walking robot and a robotic hover-board), observing significant small-scale spatial variability.

 NASA Satellite Measures Human Impact in Water Storage - Mar 04, 2021
PHYS.ORG - Earth (2,843 Views;3 min.) |
|
| To investigate humans' impact on freshwater resources, scientists have now conducted the first global accounting of fluctuating water levels in Earth's lakes and reservoirs -- including ones previously too small to measure from space. Scientists used these height measurements to study 227,386 water bodies over 22 months and discovered that, from season to season, the water level in Earth's lakes and ponds fluctuate on average by about 8.6 inches (0.22 m). At the same time, the water level of human-managed reservoirs fluctuate on average by nearly quadruple that amount -- about 34 inches (0.86 m).

 Texas's power disaster is a warning sign for the US - Mar 04, 2021
Climate Crocks (121,096 Views;8 min.) |
|
| America's power grid is not ready.
Subscribe to our channel! http://goo.gl/0bsAjO
In February, extreme cold and an unusual winter storm left millions of Texans in the dark. Many went without power or water, in subzero temperatures, for nearly five days. It was a disaster; dozens died. But even though that storm hit much of the country, the power outages were mostly limited to Texas. That's because Texas is on its own electrical grid, separate from the rest of the country, which means it can't easily get power from other states in an emergency.
But Texas's grid itself is not what failed. Power went out across Texas in the first place because energy sources across the state were unprepared for severe weather. And that didn't have to happen; Texas had been warned about this exact scenario, and had actually experienced versions of it twice in the last 30 years. But they didn't prepare.
Now the rest of the US faces the same issue. Climate change is making severe weather ... |

 Urban Agriculture Combats Food Insecurity, Builds Community, CSA News - Mar 04, 2021
Greenbiz (90 Views;2 min.) |
|
| The first in a three-part article series exploring food security, this piece examines how urban agriculture across the country is on the frontlines of providing fresh, healthy food to the people who need it most. From new, efficient water harvesting systems for raised beds in Baltimore to soil tillage tests in Detroit, urban Extension agents and producers find creative ways to grow food in unusual places.

What is a warp drive? Are they scientifically possible? How does the Alcubierre drive work? That's what we talk about today.
The paper has now been published here:

When I talk about energy conservation around 7 mins, I am NOT referring to the conservation of the stress-energy-tensor. This is conservation is always fulfilled if Einstein's field equations are fulfilled by way of the (contracted) Bianchi identities. I am talking about the conservation of the four-momentum (the integrated quantity) that is associated with the warp-drive bubble. In an asymptotically flat space-time, it should be conserved. If the bubble accelerates, it isn&t. (As you&d ... |

 How will tropical mammals react to rising temperatures? - Mar 03, 2021
PHYS.ORG - Earth (761 Views;3 min.) |
|
| Rice University ecologist Lydia Beaudrot and a dozen co-authors pored over 400,000 observations from camera traps on three continents to explore how 36 species of tropical mammals reacted to changing local temperatures between 2007-15. She said some of the responses were surprising. For example, rising temperatures in different locations sometimes evoked a different response from the same species. \"We interpret that to mean that animals are not responding solely to changing temperatures,\" Beaudrot said. \"They are also reacting to the changes of other species, like predators, prey and competitors.\" |
