Yeh that's the plain meaning. They will be referring to a particular sensor type. Amazement is no cause to say the claim is "unreal"

They mean 30 times as sensitive ie. sensing 1/30th as much stuff. That's what "a factor of n" means btw. Maybe you had in mind "a power of".

I think the life experience of farmed sheep tends overall to be a little milder than wild mountain goats, although they are herded up several times a year which they don't much like - they are bred to be quite cool. Most seriously thei

Regarding "ethically produced meat" - I have the sense that if we can arrange for livestock conditions better than their typical experience in nature, then animal experience is overall improved to some degree. If that is arranged

Leather is another option for initial development which doesn't involve people actually digesting large amounts of the novel produce. Perhaps there is a weaker business case for producing wool and various custom hair fibers, while synt

I don't want see meat mass produced in this manner. But if WOOL would be produced this way - that would be a lower risk way develop an industry and gain experience of what kind of diseases might result from such unusual factory conditi

Thankyou, then that is one useful test project. I hold doubts towards what seems to be mostly oil company sponsored research. It is one thing to have estimates for massive geological capacity for CO2 storage, a different thing to claim that

"In North America alone we have 32,000 gigatons of geological sequestration storage capacity" I suspect that is a tendentious estimate, considering no indicative amount of CO2 has yet been geologically sequestered and observed for

Soybean production can potentially continue without rainforest destruction, and fish farms are far from being the largest consumers of soya. Legislation and expenditure to protect forest directly targets the heart of the matter while indire

Its not clickbait, its just efficient language. We have a symbiotic relationship with bacteria in our gut but don't explicitly distinguish it every time we refer to human digestion. Actually this article and study is not intending to r

In recent years computer animation is being used to render astonishing bio-molecular vistas. Drew Berry seems to have pioneered this around 2010. Björk promptly used his work for her music video "Hollow". Here is an example of the

Yoo-leh is the most common British dialect version which does chime with Euclid. I did also hear an English great grandson of Euler pronounce it that way in a documentary. US is resolute that "oiler" is phonetically correct. The &

All industries need to arrange cover for accidents (this should not be news in an argument about industrial insurance and liabilities). Some companies are big enough to hold their own funds, for example Shell has payed out $20 billion in se

Friendly opinion - I think it is wrong to conclude that livestock farming is inherently bad for animals and the environment. Cow methane as a component of AGW is very over stated. Emissions have been extremely heavily researched by IPCC and

Sorry right I did overcount that. But that is still 2 trillion USD - revenue per year. It establishes the scale of this sectors financial clout. Insurers payed out $135 billion USB in North America last year for natural disasters, and busin

The annual revenue alone of the worlds ten largest insurance companies is about 20 thousand billion USD [1]. This sector is prepared to cover larger risks than most governments - for a somewhat competitive profitable amount. > Calculatin

Even while you dont include deaths involved in construction and ongoing security required by nuclear plants, those deaths-per-Wh-so-far figures do not represent risk, which is much more complicated. Its not possible to fully insure nuclear
