What's Hawt: "Researchers at Yale University have discovered a fungus that is capable of eating polyurethane plastics."
The supermassive black hole is 40 million times as massive as the sun and powers a quasar that existed 700 million years after the Big Bang.
Vision Pro is here and it’s a surprisingly capable device. Apple has also loaded the headset with a ton of options and features that aren’t obvious at first glance.
Engineers expect to lose contact with the private US moon lander Odysseus on Tuesday, cutting short the mission after its sideways touchdown last week.
Will be great if this pans out to be useful. Although I wonder what the fungus breaks plastic down into? Isn't plastic derived from oil...
Either way it would benefit just about every community. Take for example where im at currently(St. Thomas) which is an island. The landfill here you see when you drive past it is about 1/3 the size of the central mountain on the island and is gigantic. At first when you see it, it just looks like a barren mountain until you realize what it really is. You would think that a lot of the garbage in it is plastic that will hardly breakdown over decades.
Definitely good news if they could use this to destroy plastic waste.
That's crazy!
Wonder how they could use this to possibly develop some organism to break down radio active material,,,like in Japan
Really? I havent heard of of any but that is great if they do. Can you PM a link if you have one handy. The bad part I think is there is no way to convert radioactivity,,if an organism eats it then it becomes radioactive, but possibly easier to clean up.
