While it's a net positive for the world that sodium-ion batteries are reaching the point where they compete with lithium polymers, I remain baffled that lithium gets linked to deep-sea mining. Nodules and crusts only contain trace lithium. It's the cobalt and nickel that drives DSM prospecting.

What's really interesting is how they banned it because of demon marijuana, well before many Americans had ever used it.
The timing was specific: DuPont had just patented several polymers from petrochemical stocks, at the same time hemp seed polymers were being researched.
How convenient!

Cellophane bees line their nests with a polyethylene (PE)-like plastic that breaks down in normal environmental conditions within a year, leaving behind little residue. The plastic could inspire next-generation biodegradable PE-like polymers. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/KAoz510541q

Yeah about 4% of oil and gas output is used to make polymers. The vast majority is burnt. The uncomfortable fact for the Swinney is that polymers (and other long chain hydrocarbons) can be made without oil and gas (eg the Fischer–Tropsch process). It's bad PR only in the sense it's bullshit

Introducing PERCEPT, a non-viral CRISPR delivery platform for in vivo genome editing! We reversibly attach peptides and polymers to CRISPR enzymes, driving editing in the brain, retina, muscle, or lungs of mice via local delivery. 🧵below, bioRxiv🔗bit.ly/PERCEPTpre

If you do the same test on an acrylic yarn it has a *very different* result. Acrylic yarn is spun from petroleum-based plastic polymers.

And please watch what I posted. Solar panels are made from glass, is a very inaccurate description. They are made from crystalline-silicon, they also include plastic polymers, aluminum, plus smaller amounts of copper & other metals. Glass is primarily made from silicon dioxide.

It is more or less fixed as you shuffle it acording to weight of polymer.
Example
You can get either x% of diesel or the same % of other estimates using same polymers but you can't crank up more diesel from parts that are asphalt

Hello fellow scientists! I use big machines to shoot neutrons at polymers at a research reactor in Munich.
Also, I try to figure out how to explain my work and science in general to people in ways they actually want to hear.
Follow along for #neutron, #science, and #SciComm content ☺️🧪⚛️
