Dagens Citat: George Bernard Shaw.


“The thief who is in prison is not necessarily more dishonest than his fellows at large, but mostly one who, through ignorance or stupidity [or, adds George Draffan, racism or poverty] steals in a way that is not customary. He snatches a loaf of bread from the baker's counter and is promptly run into jail. Another man snatches bread from the table of hundreds of widows and orphans and similar credulous souls who do not know the ways of company promoters; and, as likely as not, he is run into parliament.”

- George Bernard Shaw.

Gilbert Achcar: Obama and the Libyan Rebellion

New Artificial Leaf and Photosynthesis.


Yet another new breakthrough in low cost solar energy just made its debut, and this one is a doozy: a solar cell the size of a typical leaf, that actually creates energy the same way a leaf does: with photosynthesis. No, for real. You just park it in a bucket of water and it generates enough electricity to power household devices… eventually (more on that below). The announcement was made by the lead researcher on the MIT-based project, Dr. Daniel Nocera, who said, “A practical artificial leaf has been one of the Holy Grails of science for decades.”
