A #ScientificAmerican piece traces the journey. 🇩🇪 Germany provided subsidies in the early 2000s to create a market big enough to build factories for and 🇨🇳 China took over after 2009. Solar cell design got better at converting light into energy, with less land and less wiring for the same power.
How solar became the cheapest ...

Almost inconceivable! Never in my life would I have imagined glaciers melting, giant chunks of Artic and North Pole glaciers calving at so many places, nor frozen tundra thawing out and dangerous release of methane gas. SciAm article from today.
“The Arctic is cooking. Across northern Russia—a region that is famously bitterly cold—temperatures this week have routinely surpassed 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32.2 degrees Celsius), adding to the mountain of broken heat records this summer has racked up so far.
In recent days, the Selagoncy meteorological station, near the border of the Arctic Circle, recorded 93.0 degrees F (33.9 degrees C); another station, Olenyok, logged 90.9 degrees F (32.7 degrees C), according to data collected by weather information service Ogimet and reported by climatologist Maximiliano Herrera. To put that in perspective, these temperatures are on par for Orlando, Fla., at this time of year.”
This area is warming up in general up to four times faster than the average place anywhere else in the world.

So, just got an email from Springer saying that they sold Scientific American to a to me obscure LabX Media Group.
1) I hope they won’t enshittify it.
2) does anyone know LabX Media Group and has any kind of insight or opinion on them?
What just happened to my favorite magazine and my last remaining print media subscription? Am I gonna have to unsubscribe?

"...one I personally illustrated was for Edna Chiang. She was researching the thirteen-lined ground squirrel and trying to understand how they survive hibernation...studying animals in this context can be well applied for space travel or medically induced comas."

🧪 A devastating blow to independent journalism and historical science communication. For 145 years, Scientific American has been a premier voice of data and public conscience. Watching it stripped away by corporate restructuring is a massive loss.

Scientific American writers who are members of the Writer's Guild on the sale to LabX Media Group and layoffs at the magazine, just before their union vote was going to be certified...
"We should call this action what it is – blatant union-busting. But there’s worse: we also have reason to believe that the sale was motivated by fear within Springer Nature that our attempts to doggedly report on the crisis facing science in America today would lead to repercussions from the Trump administration. On multiple occasions the company has sought to quash or tone down political or sensitive stories that were journalistically sound."
Research Information: Springer Nature divests Scientific American and Spektrum der Wissenschaft. “Springer Nature has announced the sale of its consumer media businesses, including the science publication Scientific American in the United States and Spektrum der Wissenschaft in Germany.”
