    The efficiency of a rocket engine is measured by how long it can exert a thrust equal to the initial weight of its propellant, known as specific impulse. The most efficient #chemical rockets today produce a specific impulse that tops out around 450 seconds. A #nuclear rocket has a specific impulse of 900 seconds or more. With #electric thrusters, specific impulses in the range of 2,200 to 4,600 seconds are possible, but currently with very low thrust.

  10. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🪳🤿 Scientists in #Singapore and #Japan built flexible #3D printed #diving suits that deliver #oxygen to #cockroaches through their breathing pores.

    A #chemical reaction between #hydrogen peroxide and manganese dioxide generates the oxygen, allowing the #insects to walk #underwater for up to three hours. The team envisions using these #cyborg cockroaches for search and rescue in flooded #disaster zones and eventually on #Mars.

  11. For #Indigenous communities in ‘#Alberta,’ the #OilIndustry has left an ugly stain

    Facing #OilSpills, evacuations and #illness — nations downstream of the #OilSands grieve their way of life, as the #corporations polluting their water get richer

    By Brandi Morin, December 7, 2023

    Excerpt: "The rush of the wind and sprays of water add to the thrill as Jason Castor guides his riverboat through a stretch of #LakeAthabasca near #FortChipewyan, in #Treaty8 territories. If he slows down, his boat could get stuck in the mud or even flip over because the water levels in this spot are remarkably low. He steers around buoys, dodges logs and other debris while accelerating to the mouth of the channel, which he knows should be deep enough to navigate at an average speed.

    "While trawling his boat further down the river, Castor points to odd-looking clusters resembling dirty foam floating by.

    " 'There’s just a slurry of a foam that looks like #oil or some kind of #chemical in there,' says Castor, a 42-year-old father, construction business owner and member of the #AthabascaChipewyan #FirstNation (#ACFN).

    "He’s been a traditional hunter, trapper and fisherman for nearly 20 years and has documented strange changes in the water, the land and animals.

    "Something’s going on in the river, he says.

    " 'They say that it’s natural, well, I know that that’s not natural because I’ve been on the river my whole life,' he explains as he points to brown and #WhiteFoam, #OilSheens and other discoloured formations floating on the river.

    "Nowadays, it’s risky to navigate these waterways because of industrial intakes like the #WACBennettDam to the west in B.C.; the #AlbertaOilSands just up the river and impacts from #ClimateChange.

    "The #PeaceAthabascaDelta is the second-largest #freshwater delta in the world.

    "The #AthabascaRiver, and the larger delta, also sit atop the world’s largest known reservoir of #CrudeBitumen.

    "The industry that has sprung up around it drives Alberta’s and Canada’s economy, employing about 138,000 people. In 2021, crude bitumen production totaled approximately 3.3 million barrels per day. The oil sands energy sector including oil sands, conventional #OilAndGas, mining and quarrying is valued at about $18 billion.

    "But while Canada prospers off the oil sands industry, #Indigenous communities downstream are dealing with its #toxic impacts.

    "Not only are the water levels fluctuating, but the health of the water flowing through the Athabasca River is jeopardized."

  13. In a #Cleveland suburb, this old #CoalPlant will soon be replaced by a massive #SolarFarm

    Inside Climate News
    July 26, 2024

    "#CoalFired power plant that started running more than a century ago is about to get a long-overdue retirement, and its electricity will be replaced by a solar farm and a #BatteryStorage system on an existing #brownfield.

    "The project in #PainesvilleOhio, a suburb of Cleveland, is one of about two dozen clean energy and emissions-reduction initiatives across the country that are sharing $4.3 billion in funding announced on Monday by the #BidenAdministration.

    "It was a happy day for Doug Lewis, Painesville’s city manager. He and his colleagues have been considering how to close the city-owned power plant and replace it with a cleaner alternative. They also have wanted to redevelop the site of a long-shuttered #chemical factory near the shores of Lake Erie.

    "The federal government will now pay about $80 million to install solar and batteries on the former factory land and to beautify the rest of the brownfield by planting a #meadow of #wildflowers and constructing a #BikeTrail. The trail will provide a connection between Painesville and a regional trail that runs along the lake.

    [...]

    "The solar farm will have capacity of 35 megawatts and the battery storage system will have capacity of 10 megawatts. It will be capable of running for three hours at that level before recharging.

    "The new construction will be on land that once was home to the Diamond Shamrock Corp. chemical plant, which operated there from 1912 to 1977 and occupied about 1,100 acres. The plant’s products included baking soda, chromium compounds, and hydrochloric and sulfuric acids.

    "Since the site closed, the community and the federal government have gone through the slow and trying process of removing #pollutants to make it site safe for redevelopment.

    The current project can serve as a case study for many things, including regional cooperation. Painesville, in Lake County, worked with officials in neighboring Cuyahoga County and the Cleveland city government to file an application with the federal government that included #RenewableEnergy projects for all of them."

  14. Happy to see that the JSE special issue "#Chemical Communication between #Plants and #Insects" is now out onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/17

    Check it out! It contains many exciting new articles & reviews on different aspects of this topic.

    (Including ours on applying #phylogenetic methods *cough)
