  1. “Aeolian Bedforms” — Wind-caused ripples in desert sand dunes, Death Valley.

    This is probably the classic notion of what a desert looks like — fields of wind-formed sand dunes stretching into the distance. In truth, such dunes typically cover only a very small fraction of the desert landscape. That’s certainly true in Death Valley National Park, where large, impressive dunes are only found in a handful of locations. We visited one of them on the final morning of our late February trip…more: gdanmitchell.com/2026/05/12/ae

  4. Our happiness doesn't depend on somebody else's action or on anything else. It doesn't depend on our success, but rather on the effort we're willing to put into everything we do. Even if people disappoint or fail us left and right, even if people turn against us, hurt us, lie about us, don't understand us, even if they think they know everything about us and judge us unfairly, they can't infringe upon our happiness. True happiness means that we have a deep-seated peace and tranquility that transcends all the difficulties of life, that cannot be disturbed by the chaos and warfare that might touch our lives.

  10. How 2,000 Tons Of #Sand Stores 100 Megawatt-Hours And Slashes Carbon Emissions 70%

    By John Koetsier, Apr 14, 2026,

    "#PolarNight is doubling its size with a new 250 megawatt-hour facility in Vaaksy, #Finland, which will output 2 megawatts of energy consistently. That newer and bigger battery will use only slightly more sand – 2,400 tons – because the #SandBattery’s design renders it more efficient with size. What will become the new world’s largest sand battery is already under construction and is scheduled for completion in summer 2027."
