“We are seeing a growing interest in cork as a sustainable material,” says Rui Novais, a materials expert at the University of Aveiro in Portugal. “Compared with materials like polyurethane foam [used for thermal insulation], products made with cork require less energy and produce less CO2 emissions.” The cork oak’s thick bark adapted to defend the tree from fire, making it a powerful insulating material that’s been used to shield fuel tanks on NASA spacecraft and electric car batteries. It’s also resistant to water and oil, and can withstand compression while retaining springiness. “It’s an extraordinary, renewable and biodegradable material,” says Novais. “It’s also very durable. It has been demonstrated that cork products remain virtually unchanged for more than 50 years.” Part of the carbon absorbed by cork oak trees is transferred to cork products, which can be used for long periods, repurposed and recycled. Several studies found that cork is carbon negative, meaning it can store more carbon than what is required to produce it. When cork planks are trimmed and punched to form natural cork stoppers, the leftovers are ground into granules and pressed together to form cork sheets or blocks. “Even cork dust is used to produce energy,” says João Rui Ferreira, secretary general of the Portuguese Cork Association. “It feeds the industry’s boilers and powers some of the production.”

[...]

Most of the cork produced in Portugal grows in the gently undulating hills and plains in the south of the country, in an ancient agroforestry system known as montado. This savannah-like ecosystem combines cork, holm oaks and olive trees with pastures, grazing livestock, crops and fallows. “The soil in southern Portugal is very poor, there is very little rain and temperatures are very high in the summer,” says Teresa Pinto-Correia, a professor at the University of Évora in Portugal specializing in rural landscapes and agricultural systems. “But this kind of system is productive even when resources are scarce and conditions are difficult.” For centuries, locals have preserved the montado because cork provided landowners with a source of income. This mosaic of habitats supports hundreds of species, including the Iberian lynx, the world’s most endangered wildcat, and the threatened Imperial eagle. One of the world’s oldest known cork oak trees, planted in 1783 in Águas de Moura, is known as “the whistler” because so many birds visit its large sprawling branches. Iberian pigs feed on acorns and goats graze the interwoven pastures. Interspersing cork oak trees with animals and crops can boost production and biodiversity, but also build soil, control erosion, retain water, combat desertification and sequester carbon, says Pinto-Correia.

Excerpt from this story from the LA Times:

There’s a lithium bonanza happening at the Salton Sea.

The boom started when one of the world’s largest supplies of lithium was discovered one mile below the dying lake. The metal is required to produce electric car batteries and is essential to reducing carbon emissions.

Yet lost in the excitement about the money and new jobs that the mining projects could bring are the concerns of the people who live there.

The impoverished area — which is more than 80% Latino — already has a childhood asthma rate that is more than twice the national average.

The asthma cases have been tied to the toxic dust created as the Salton Sea recedes from lack of water. And some local residents fear that the number of respiratory cases could soar even higher as the lithium mining projects drink up more of the area’s much fought over allocation from the Colorado River.

Residents also worry about the hazardous waste that the mining projects could create. And the area’s Indigenous tribes are concerned that sites they consider sacred, including Obsidian Butte, a volcanic outcropping on the Salton Sea’s shore, could be disturbed.

In March, a local community group called Comite Civico del Valle, along with Earthworks, a national nonprofit, filed a legal petition to stop the first of the planned lithium mining projects, which is known as Hell’s Kitchen.

The groups say the potential hazards of the project by Controlled Thermal Resources, a privately held company, were not properly studied before the Imperial County Board of Superiors unanimously approved it in January.

“Controlled Thermal Resources boasts about the sustainability attributes of direct lithium extraction, yet public health, hazardous waste, and water concerns remain unresolved,” said Luis Olmedo, executive director of Comite Civico del Valle.

The two groups want the project halted until the risks are studied and measures are taken to mitigate any harm that could happen to the communities or environment.

The county and company disagree and say that the project’s potential risks were properly considered in the environmental impact statement that California law requires.

“The County believes that the concerns were adequately addressed during the initial stages of the project development,” said Eddie Lopez, a county spokesperson.

Jim Turner, Controlled Thermal Resources’ president, said the company spent two years performing studies to ensure that the lithium could be extracted safely. The board of supervisors agreed that the company had completed that work, he said. “The official opinion is that the job was done very well,” he said.

Government officials are among those who want to move quickly. They say the Salton Sea could be the cleanest major source of lithium in the world and make the U.S. a major player in production.

Controlled Thermal Resources and two other companies with mining projects in the works use a process in which the metal is extracted from the hot, steaming brine that geothermal power plants bring up from the depths to produce electricity.

Lithium is removed from the brine before it is reinjected back into the geothermal reservoir deep underground.

The process, known as direct lithium extraction, is said to be far less damaging to the environment than hard rock mining or by pumping brine into large evaporation ponds.

The U.S. produces very little lithium even though the demand is great and growing fast with the rising purchases of electric vehicles.

Already 11 geothermal plants have been built around the lake. Controlled Thermal Resources’ project would be the first to combine electricity generation with lithium extraction.

Measuring moon dust to fight air pollution

Moon dust, or regolith, isn't like the particles on Earth that collect on bookshelves or tabletops—it's abrasive and it clings to everything. Throughout NASA's Apollo missions to the moon, regolith posed a challenge to astronauts and valuable space hardware.

During the Apollo 17 mission, astronaut Harrison Schmitt described his reaction to breathing in the dust as "lunar hay fever," experiencing sneezing, watery eyes, and a sore throat. The symptoms went away, but concern for human health is a driving force behind NASA's extensive research into all forms of lunar soil.

The need to manage the dust to protect astronaut health and critical technology is already beneficial on Earth in the fight against air pollution.

Working as a contributor on a habitat for NASA's Next Space Technologies for Exploration Partnerships (NextSTEP) program, Lunar Outpost Inc. developed an air-quality sensor system to detect and measure the amount of lunar soil in the air that also detects pollutants on Earth.

Originally based in Denver, the Golden, Colorado-based company developed an air-quality sensor called the Space Canary and offered the sensor to Lockheed Martin Space for its NextSTEP lunar orbit habitat prototype. After the device was integrated into the habitat's environmental control system, it provided distinct advantages over traditional equipment.

Rebranded as Canary-S (Solar), the sensor is now meeting a need for low-cost, wireless air-quality and meteorological monitoring on Earth. The self-contained unit, powered by solar energy and a battery, transmits data using cellular technology.

It can measure a variety of pollutants, including particulate matter, carbon monoxide, methane, sulfur dioxide, and volatile organic compounds, among others. The device sends a message up to a secure cloud every minute, where it's routed to either Lunar Outpost's web-based dashboard or a customer's database for viewing and analysis.

The oil and gas industry uses the Canary-S sensors to provide continuous, real-time monitoring of fugitive gas emissions, and the U.S. Forest Service uses them to monitor forest-fire emissions.

"Firefighters have been exhibiting symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning for decades. They thought it was just part of the job," explained Julian Cyrus, chief operating officer of Lunar Outpost. "But the sensors revealed where and when carbon monoxide levels were sky high, making it possible to issue warnings for firefighters to take precautions."

The Canary-S sensors exemplify the life-saving technologies that can come from the collaboration of NASA and industry innovations.

We Hindus have sharadh before diwali. Sharadh is when our ancestors come to earth to visit us, we perform puja and offer them food. In early times, they used firebrands aka ulkas to show a way to ancestors back to their new home. I think you are not aware of roots. Diamonds have nothing to do with love. Every liberal wakes up on holi, diwali to lecture how brainwashed we are. Crackers are part of our festival. One day festival and everyone start to cry. And, no! You won't dare to write this crap on Christmas or eid. So, please stop.. call them, idiots who are adding to carbon emissions, and cutting trees, and use firecrackers on Christmas, 4th july, new years.. why don't you call them idiots? Don't call us idiots who just find happiness for one day among all the days where we are paying fucking heavy taxes, facing problems and trying to survive. I will wait for Eid when you will call them idiots. Let's see how much you think about animals. And, we have been using crackers way before this manipulation tactics started to control societies. It's not a new thing!

a wise man once said, when we start doing whataboutery we can't have a debate on a particular topic anymore. times have changed and we are on the verge of devastation. we probably won't be able to reverse the adverse effects, which are primarily man-made. we have to stop polluting our cities, rivers and filling the atmosphere with dust. i don't want myself to be responsible when the future gen or my kids won't be able to go out without an oxygen cylinder.

P.S. animals like my pet dog hates fireworks. she's afraid of them.

Fixed Base Office Chairs: Silent Guardians of Professional Spaces

At NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, engineers are using fixed-base chairs to calibrate Mars rover parts, where even a 0.01-degree angle deviation could lead to catastrophic consequences. This extreme demand for absolute stability has made fixed-base office chairs irreplaceable in professional fields. The non-rotating design is not just a physical limitation, but also a biomechanical safeguard for precise work.

1. Precise Control of Mechanical Structure

The aerospace-grade aluminum alloy frame, optimized through topology, reduces structural stress concentration by 62%. The four-point contact base design achieves 98% uniformity in force distribution, improving by 23% compared to traditional five-legged bases. Vibration tests at MIT’s Mechanical Laboratory show that fixed-base chairs have only 0.13mm displacement under a 6-point earthquake simulation, providing a stable platform for precision tasks.

The ergonomic locking mechanism includes three layers of safety redundancy: electromagnetic latch (response time 0.2 seconds), mechanical buckle (weight capacity of 500kg), and hydraulic damping (displacement ≤0.05mm). Boeing’s application data shows this design reduces assembly errors to one-seventh of rotating chairs.

The fine-tuning system allows for millimeter-level positioning, with a footrest integrated with a digital angle gauge (precision ±0.1°) and a backrest adjustment gear track (0.5mm per tooth). This creates a fully personalized mechanical support system. Clinical tests show a 41% reduction in muscle fatigue when maintaining a fixed posture.

2. Breakthrough Innovations in Material Science

Carbon Fiber-Kevlar Composite Seat Cushion This combination of aerospace materials ensures surface modulus reaches 120GPa for rigidity and features a honeycomb structure that absorbs 70% of vibration energy. In semiconductor cleanroom tests, the material dust emission is only 0.03μg/m³, meeting ISO Class 3 standards.

Bionic Coating Innovation The self-healing polyurethane layer developed by Germany’s Covestro contains 5 million microcapsules/cm². Scratches larger than 3μm are repaired at a molecular level within 40 seconds, and the surface friction coefficient remains stable between 0.35-0.55, extending the product lifespan to 15 years.

Bio-Based Composite Materials DSM’s EcoPaXX seat base material, made from 51% castor oil extract, has reduced its carbon footprint by 68% compared to traditional plastics, while its impact resistance has increased to 42kJ/m², certified by UL ECVP 2809’s closed-loop standards.

3. Professional Adaptation in Specialized Designs

In Rolls-Royce’s aircraft engine assembly line, fixed-base chairs and workbenches form a golden triangle of support: the seat angle is locked at 5°, and the armrest height tolerance is ±1.5mm. This configuration improves assembly efficiency by 37%, and reduces repetitive strain injuries to one-fourth of the industry average.

Medical Surgery Chairs Integrated with a sterile control system, the base is made from 316L stainless steel, and the surface is electro-polished to Ra≤0.8μm. The gas lift system allows micro-adjustments down to 0.01mm, and the temperature-sensing seat maintains a consistent 36.5-37°C temperature range, speeding up wound healing by 19%.

Esports Training Chairs Equipped with a neurofeedback system, the seat features 32-channel electromyography sensors to monitor posture stability. When muscle tremor frequency exceeds the threshold, the armrest’s tactile feedback module provides an immediate warning, enhancing the precision of professional players' operations by 28%.

4. Technology-Driven Health Management

Dynamic Pressure Distribution Monitoring System This system includes 2048 sensor units that map the pressure distribution between the ischium and femur. When localized pressure exceeds 32kPa, the air cushions automatically adjust support, reducing the risk of sciatic nerve compression by 63%, according to clinical trials.

Biological Rhythm Lighting System The ActiveLight technology from Philips is integrated into the chair’s backrest with full-spectrum LEDs. The system automatically adjusts color temperature based on circadian rhythms—6500K blue light in the morning to boost cognition, and 3000K amber light in the evening to promote melatonin secretion, reducing work efficiency fluctuations by 41%.

Aerodynamic Design for Local Microclimate Optimization A laminar airflow channel is set beneath the seat (airflow speed of 0.25m/s ±5%) and is coupled with a HEPA 13-level filtration system. Air quality monitoring shows that the PM0.3 concentration in the breathing zone remains below 12μg/m³, increasing brain oxygen levels by 18%.

At the University of Tokyo’s ultra-precision machining laboratory, quantum-level stable chairs are creating miracles: using superconducting magnetic levitation technology, 99.97% of ground vibration is neutralized, achieving a nanometer-level processing precision of 0.5nm Ra. This shows that fixed-base chairs have evolved from physical limitations into technology enablers, releasing the maximum potential of human creativity through absolute stability. When biomechanics, material science, and environmental control deeply integrate, fixed-base chairs no longer restrict but become the solid foundation of professional excellence.
