Maybe near future use of #SpectrometerOnAChip that is scalable & affordable for #crowdsource & #citizenscience? Check out “Thermal light emitters based on #graphene directly grown on chips by etching-precipitation method:” www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti.... HT @Keio_Univ CC @SonySemicon_JP
Chainsaw effects mixed with certain industry push back in Washington DC <eg apple.news/A-zvxdX6JQSS... I recommend @HorizonEU reach out to impacted civic #publicprivatepartnerships <eg #sensors R&D for #crowdsource & #citizenscience; materials R&D to remove #PFAS, #microplastics >
Given #hyperlocalenergyinfastructure push back in certain parts of USA (eg. IBIS Power PowerNest.) Maybe those push back sources might like framework via Rep. Ward’s HB340: pv-magazine-usa.com/2025/03/05/b... (eg. @EcoFlowTech: www.zdnet.com/home-and-off... #PowerSystemResilience #homeowner #renter
Starting in Utah!
The Utah legislature passed a bill this session to clarify that small-scale balcony solar systems do not need either a permit or an interconnect agreement.
Viable direction for reducing #PFAS based on real-world tests. Study at pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/..., also identify advantages of #nanocages over other purification methods like #ActivatedCarbon, #ReverseOsmosis, ... (eg. maintenance cost, environment impact) HT @StBonaventure @UBuffalo @stonybrooku
Look forward to next phase of #PublicPrivatePartnership for scaling reusable & low-cost sponge, affinity for #lead, #phosphate, #microplastics, & more based on small tests. HT @NSF #GreatLakesWaterInnovationEngine: www.nsf.gov/funding/init... + @northwesternu: news.northwestern.edu/stories/2025...
Check out research at journals.aps.org/prresearch/p..., model & physics-based avenues for controlling #emerin #nanodomain self-assembly by modifying the emerin reaction or diffusion properties. Emerin has been shown to have diverse functions <eg. gene expression, cell signaling> #proteins
Based on views on harm & human bias in centralized lists, identity theft, fraud. Time to revisit #blockchain & #tokenization with #CAC to create more secure, user-centric, self-sovereign tech for “#NationalID.” Example: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... & Why: identity.utexas.edu/sites/defaul...
DOGE by #ExecutiveOrder with limited challenges by #Congress <eg. cdt.org/wp-content/u... = federal expansion of centralized identification system that is a form of “#NationalID” & dismissal of Congress, history, & civics <eg. www.heritage.org/civil-societ... & www.cato.org/sites/cato.o...
With #Turtle Tracker + #Marine Animal Surfacing Simulator @CellTrackTech = better #wildlife data <eg. 1yr+ vs hours, days, weeks, seasonal use> & #MOTUS expansion/ integration with other networks = better resolution of temporal landscape of #animal occurence. #citizenscience #IoT

Did you know that fiber optic cables can be used to detect earthquakes? Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) uses fiber optic cables connected to an instrument that sends pulses of light through the cable, detecting strain from environmental disturbances.

🔭 These new #Gaia maps are the best reconstructed views of how our #MilkyWay galaxy might look to an outside observer. They show us our place in the Universe like no other mission has before👇
So long Gaia. Possibly the most amazing project I have worked on. This will be the cornerstone of stellar and Milky Way astronomy for decades to come and results have and will be useful to other branches of astronomy.
The Watch Duty app has been without peer the safest and most reliable source of information around the fires in the last few days. Lives were saved because of them. Give if you can, they have earned our admiration and support. app.watchduty.org/donate
I just donated to the Watch Duty app. It has been invaluable over the past two days. It’s only $25 a year for an annual subscription, which is basically free considering what you get from it. Please donate.
Québec sending 2 more Super Scoopers and quite frankly I hope the FAA finds and prosecutes everyone flying an unauthorized drone right now and puts them in prison for a year. They're endangering everyone.

Federal authorities can subpoena flight data from DJI to identify drones flying in that region during that time slice. Assuming DJI complies, that information is knowable. An example must be made. Most likely it’s some influencer trying to get dramatic footage for clicks

Super Scoopers can fly quite low, scooping up water from the ocean to drench fires.
The Super Scooper holds 1,600 gallons of water and can refill in about five minutes.

A firefighting aircraft called a “Super Scooper ” was grounded on Thursday after it was struck by a civilian drone while flying over the Palisades Fire near the Pacific Coast.
The Super Scooper aircraft sustained wing damage and remains grounded and out of service. That’s one less aircraft to…
