I think they are talking about the cells themselves. Black cells have higher light absorption than blue cells (which are reflecting blue light) but I can't speak for their efficiency (and I should note that absorbed light that doesn&#

I find the phrase "ontology reflects phylogeny" in the abstract to be a bit odd. The original formulation was “ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny” and Stephen Jay Gould has written a book on the history of the idea, so I'm not

Here's an older talk by Richard Alley with much more detail on Thwaites Glacier (including simple demo simulations of what happens over time): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4oMsfa_30Q

Most glaciers have friction points that keep the ice from sliding down too fast, to resist the enormous pressure of the built up ice sheets flowing downward from higher up. A typical glacier might be more narrow than it is long so the side

During the 2016 election the NY Times was harping on Clinton's e-mails daily yet completely neglecting the growing evidence of Trump's Russian collusion. I think they are part of the problem.

Eli Yablonovitch has spoken extensively about this. Here is one talk ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_K1URyarE0 ) but I think he makes the point elsewhere that the central government in China told their regional governmen

I agree. At first glance, the "price cuts" wouldn't seem to signal anything. But the price cuts combined with the outstanding reservations does seem to imply more cost sensitivity than we have seen in prior Tesla sales.

I clicked on the title ready to judge it as click-bait like yourself, but I think the text makes a good point that the majority of reservation holders seem to be willing to wait for their $35,000 Model 3s. Too bad they didn't get thei

You still have the cost of steam turbines and generators just like a coal/oil/gas power plant. The main cost savings is the fuel cost, which is a small but significant fraction of today's electric power cost. There are theor

I assume safety drivers will be used when they expand into new cities to make sure they are able to learn the traffic patterns, etc.

This seems irrelevant, or at best helping the point of the parent comment. If Saudi society has large fixed costs, then they only need to sell more of their large reserves driving down prices even more and increasing the pain of the high-c

For example, the blanket needs to be about a meter thick to capture the neutron so a smaller scale design will be inherently less efficient at breeding tritium.

To clarify, the design that the paper is addressing is the ARC, a full-size pilot reactor intended to put 200MW out on the grid for 9 working years. The demonstration reactor is the SPARC which is based on a scaled down half-sized (but 1&#x

I think this talk ( https://youtu.be/L0KuAx1COEk ) makes a pretty good case for why a project of the scale of SPARC makes sense from an engineering standpoint.

I should clarify that by "half the size" I meant half the radius, which translates to about 1/8 the cost.

SPARC's models show a net positive for tritium breeding of 1.08 (tritium produced/tritium consumed) but I'm pretty sure this relies on enriched lithium, although I can't find where they specify the level of enrichment fo

SPARC is trying for Q (power out/power in) in the 1-5 range. They see this as critical for getting future funding for ARC. If you think you can get net power, what are you waiting for?

The large scale project using low temperature superconductors is ITER, initially proposed at $5 billion and currently estimated at $20 billion for a scientific test reactor. The MIT ARC design is half the size using high temperature superco

The use of the word 'henge' in the title is probably fine because it includes the meaning "Neolithic earthwork" but 'crop circle' and 'monument' are just journalistic click-bait.

It's in the hard shell coating in gums used to keep the soft gum core fresher and chewier. This has been tested by dissolving the shell and separating it from the gum.
