One of my bikes without a thumb throttle has this but there is a bit of delay from the long-press required which I don't like compared to the basically instant response of the thumb throttle. It also requires a bit for attention to pre

I really like a low speed throttle, like 3-5mph max is fine. 20mph is too fast and results in ebikes basically designed a motorcycles that cannot be pedaled. The throttle is so nice to have to get started quickly like turning left at a ligh

ITs easy to make X-rays, you just hit a metal target with electrons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_tube

You can also generate broad spectrum bremsstrahlung radiation easily, this is widely used for medical X-rays.

Most tents are in fact not very strong in compression unless designed for snow. If you do get a big snow you need to wake up in the night and remove the snow so it doesn't crush the tent.

Mushrooms, mosses, invertebrates and even some plants seem to rely on specific small features that aren't always captured in photos of the thing to identify accurately down to the species level.

This number seems low, so >90% of unsold clothes are worn? Are they all donated? 4-9% of unsold clothes could be defective/damaged or something.

Seems too inexpensive to be made of quartz to transmit the UVC. Typical glass will absorb it, possibly fluorescing a bit in the visible.

There are piezo actuators you could certainly feel but not sure they are made of quartz, maybe PZT.

I don't really understand how coffee, lacking heavy metals, can effectively give contrast in the electron microscope. I can't access the paper but the available parts didn't seem to explain how this works.

Uranyl acetate for staining is typically depleted and unless you have regulatory issues I don't think the radiation is a big concern, especially when you compare to the very serious toxicity of OsO4 (vapors can react with your eyes and

Norman Borlaug probably comes close. H. Trendley Dean was also impactful on a large scale, while its seemingly less important it helps a lot of people.

That would be tricky, I often submitted to multiple high impact journals going down the list until someone accepted it. You try to ballpark where you can go but it can be worth aiming high. Maybe this isn't a problem and there should b

The SDS here may not be sufficient to deformulate as many of the CAS# reported are generic and represent a broad class of compounds. Probably easier to just go run it on a GC.

Yes, this is very common for academic publications, particularly when there could be broad interest. For example, here is the press release from the first publication of my PhD https://web.archive.org/web/20110115053058

Probably not visually, you could poke a hole in it and see if there is liquid inside. X-ray imaging may be sufficient to differentiate from conventional cell designs.
