I thought the same thing! I felt a little better when they explained why it’s awesome further down, being an awesome weirdo is good
The article explained that in the twilight zone (200-1000m down) there’s just enough sunlight filtering through that creatures on the sea floor make shadows, and they’ve evolved bioluminescence to eliminate those shadows, but this fish’s eyes filter out sunlight so that it isn’t fooled. That’s pretty neat!
There’s a company in Sandpoint, ID that is developing solar panels made from glass to replace asphalt. It’s still in fairly early development, but it’s an interesting idea.
never mind the whole “putting solar panels underneath cars that block the light” thing, what i want to know is why people think it’s a good idea to use glass for roads?
EEVBlog did the math about the thing and with our current (and predicted) tech it’s rubbish. There just isn’t enough power from it to gain much even if roads cover a lots of square meters and durability of currently available panels just isn’t there. It’s just bloody expensive road with miniscule amounts of power in exchange.
How does that work… At least sweden have a land rise at – it varies, but – about 1m/100years, a thousand years ago it would presumably been some 10ish metres above sea level. So… How? It looks more like a giant’s pot-like ice age remnant than a wave artefact.
Crazy seeing that in a Vacutainer/Vacuette tube, the standard transportation medium you'd see in any clinic/hospital for routine intravenous blood draw.
