lemon shark —kuroo tetsurō

—summary: When you admit to quitting your high school club, Kuroo pauses, takes the decision in, and recalibrates his stance. He doesn't understand quitting like that but it's okay, you'll figure it out together. He'll always have your back, just as you'll always have his.

—cw: none

—wc: 1,9k

AO3 version

He finds you where always does when you’re not home and there are no other pressing responsibilities: the arcade.

“You’re going to develop carpal tunnel like that,” Kuroo says, peering at the backglass of the pinball machine over your shoulder. Half of it is an incomprehensible mess of a ruined city skyline with a tall figure standing at the forefront, a gun in his hand. It’s very pointedly not the backglass of a pinball machine. Or maybe the nigh-incomprehensible art there and on the sides is a feature, not a bug. The score on the display board on the bottom of the backglass keeps ticking up. He can hear the pinball in the machine dashing up and down, bang against the obstacles littered on the map, and the flippers at the bottom.

“No, I’m only moving my fingers.” You don’t look at him, stare at the pinball in the machine, press the buttons on the sides to make the flippers jump. The pinball bangs against one and is sent catapulting back into the playfield.

Kuroo steps around you and stops next to the machine — he knows better than to lean against it. His hands are buried in his denim jacket pockets. The pinball isn’t overly difficult to follow but he still gets thrown for a loop every now and then when it ricochets off one of the bumpers underneath the glass in an unexpected direction.

It’s really no surprise you’re this good at pinball. With the amount of time you spend in this place, he’d expect you to be able to clean out the shelves of cheaply-made toys and weird little useless gadgets with ease. Regular arcades are fun, he’ll admit it, but this one, American in style with its ticket system some hail as a scam (and claw machines with butterfinger claws that are definitely a scam to boot), he doesn’t see the appeal in this specific arcade.

Somehow, you do.

The pinball in the machine drops. The lights on the machine blink rapidly.

“What are you doing here, anyway? Don’t you have practice today?” You pat down your pants’ pockets for the points card and swipe it through the machine.

Kuroo raises his brows. “It’s 7:30.”

“What? No, it’s not.” The argument is immediately on your tongue because it isn’t 7:30 PM. That’s impossible.

He pulls one hand from his jacket pocket, presses the power button on the side of his phone, and turns the screen to face you. 7:36 PM.

“Oh.”

Kuroo glances at his phone screen, then slides the device back into his pocket. “How long have you been here?”

You shrug. “Like… 11.” You look away from him, opt to stare at the painted side panel of the pinball machine. It depicts one long white hot lightning strike with a blue aura. Yeah, there’s absolutely no way this frame was originally for this specific pinball game.

When you look up, he’s narrowed his eyes at you, lips tilted into a frown. It’s that look he gives a particularly difficult English homework task. Analyzing. Solution-oriented. “So, what, you skipped swim practice?” Because he knows how long those run. He knows when and where and how and who. It’s embedded into and around his own club schedule.

“I quit, actually. Yesterday.”

You raise your gaze to meet his, hold it, wait for his reaction.

Kuroo’s face spasms, fleeting expressions cycling so goddamned clearly until he pulls himself together, and puts up a nonchalant facade. His brow twitches and his expression morphs just slightly, finally settling on neutral. It’s almost eerie. He pulls his gaze from you, lets it drop to the pinball machine side panel as if he’s processing or looking for the right words to continue, then looks up at you again.

“Why?”

It’s a measured response. His voice is carefully neutral.

You tilt your head to the side, look over his shoulder at the distance, then tilt it to the other side, stare at the claw machine behind him. Your mind races, thoughts colliding and avoiding collision by near-misses, traveling parallel to each other, splitting at intersections. Possible outcomes on top of outcomes race with them, anything and everything from a prolonged lecture on the importance of perseverance, to disappointed resignation, to quiet acceptance. All of them horrible in their own way.

You settle on a half-truth with a shrug of your shoulders. “Got boring.” You don’t want to see his expression morph into the outcome of his choosing and turn away from him, scan the room for one more victim to acquire enough tickets for the top-shelf prize at the prize counter. “Quit while you’re ahead, or whatever they say.” A victim appears; a lone Street Fighter copycat game tucked right by said prize counter.

Kuroo falls into step with you. “That’s for risky stuff.”

“Like?”

“I don’t know, the stock market.”

“What do you know about the stock market, Romeo?”

You dare a glance at him from the corner of your eye but his expression remains carefully blank. It would be infuriating with anyone else. But Kuroo knows how to read people, how to play to their strengths, what to say and what not to say. You think you can read him well enough; he’s keeping his composure neutral to probe your thoughts and/or feelings on the subject so he's able to give the most effective response. It's almost clinical. The thought leaves a sour taste in your mouth.

He positions himself next to you but he doesn’t take up the player 2 slot on the arcade game. You don’t comment on it and hit play.

Your character dashes, jumps, kicks.

The opponent A.I. dodges, jumps, dies.

The game screen flashes GAME OVER in large blocky letters. You swipe the points card, cross your fingers, and saunter up to the prize counter.

You have an abundance of points, it turns out. The woman behind the desk grabs a hook on a stick and with the help of a step stool, pulls a yellow shark plush down from the high shelf. You point to a small raccoon plushie keychain to drain the rest of your acquired points.

Kuroo stares at the bright yellow shark plushie. Its eyes are embroidered hearts filled in with glittering thread. Its felt teeth are bent. “That’s the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen,” he lies. “It’s a horrifying monstrosity; you could get a better one from IKEA.”

“As per usual you have no taste.” You turn the large plush in your hands and tap the pad of your finger against the glittering eye. No residual glitter catches to your skin. “Well, since you hate this, you wouldn’t happen to want the raccoon, either, huh?”

“Never said that.” He holds his hand out, palm up and you place the small gray and brown raccoon into his waiting hand. He lifts it to eye level, stares back at its large vacant acrylic eyes.

“C’mon,” you jerk your head towards the exit, “you can continue gazing into each other’s eyes soulfully on the way home.”

The summer evening air is slowly cooling as the sun sets. Its orange rays glint off the skyscraper windows.

Rush hour draws to a close and the crowds on the train ease up. You manage to snag two seats near the front of the train as an old couple disembarks.

Your newest companion is sandwiched between your neck and the window, its face pressed flat against the glass. You angle your body slightly so its first dorsal fin is pressed against your throat, your knees pressed against Kuroo’s.

Kuroo spends the ride scrolling through social media. Every now and then he swaps apps, texts someone. You catch Kenma’s picture at the top of the messages. Another time you catch sight of the picture for the volleyball team’s group chat.

It’s hard to lean your head back against the cool window, the best you can do with the shark propped behind your head is turn your face towards Kuroo. It gives you the perfect angle to stare at his profile. He’s slightly slouched, shoulders lax. His posture straightens ever so slightly, jaw tensing, brow creasing. His fingers fly across the screen to type out a response in the group chat with you, him, Yaku, and Kai.

You let your eyes wander his face, the curve of his nose and his lips to —

To the thin scar running along the slope of his cheekbone.

“What?” he asks then, looking up from his phone. He locks and pockets it. You tap on your cheek where his scar is. “Does it bother you?” he asks.

“Sometimes.” Because it does. Sometimes.

“As far as first meetings go, it’s probably on the more interesting end of the scale.”

“You’re the one who yanked me from behind.” Because he did.

“Would you have preferred death by way of a moving vehicle?”

You roll your eyes playfully and look away as you always do when he brings that up. Sure, it’s the logical conclusion to you literally trying to run into oncoming traffic way back then; but that doesn’t mean he needs to say it out loud. He doesn’t. It’s the logical conclusion.

“Yeah, well, what a story to tell your grandkids in 60 years.”

You peel yourselves from the seats once your stop arrives and you tuck the shark under your arm. Kuroo keeps to the road side on the sidewalk. The crowds grow even more scarce as your street comes into view.

You pass Kenma’s house; the blinds aren’t drawn and you can faintly see the glow of the TV from Kenma’s room. The lights in Kuroo’s house are on. Some houses on the street are completely dark, others completely alight. There’s a window cracked open somewhere, broadcasting a football match.

You pause in front of your gate, almost at the end of the street, and make no move to cross the threshold.

“I got half the family sicced on me because they’re not fans of me quitting, y’know? Word travels fast.” You stare at the lit living room window obscured by a cream-colored blind. “Somehow they’d gotten it into their heads that I was going to go to the Olympics and now they’re…”

“Pissed?”

“That’s putting it lightly. Pissed and everything else under the Sun.” You purse your lips. “Probably gonna hear how I wasted my Olympic potential for the rest of eternity. I think they’re delusional for thinking I could ever make it that far.”

There’s a lull in the conversation. Birds swoop down from the sky, land on the power lines draped above your heads.

“You wanna stay over tonight?” Kuroo asks, jerking his head in the direction of his house. “Dad’s making pancakes first thing in the morning.”

You shake your head with a small smile. “Thanks, but I might as well get lecture number three million about how I can ‘still save my Olympic career’ over with. Good night.”

“Night.”

Kuroo lingers by the gate as you step through and take the short cobblestone path up to the house. He watches you pause at the door before you slot your keys in and throw it open. Still, he stands there as the door closes and stares at your bedroom window. It doesn’t take long before there’s movement, the blinds being rolled down and the lights turning on.

Only then does he take off towards his own house, clutching the raccoon keychain in his pocket.

Well, That's Another Way To Protect Your Friends!

(Pred!W.ayward V.agabond, Prey!A.imless R.enegade, + Prey!P.eregine M.edicant)

Tropes: G/T, multiprey (2 prey), unwilling vore, shrinking, implied endo

NSFW/KINK/18+ BLOGS DNI. GET OUT OF SFW VORE SPACES.

⭒☆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☆⭒

> Be W.ayward V.agabond.

You are currently sitting with your two acquaintances, A.imless R.enegade and P.eregine M.endicant, relishing in this human emotion called friendship. You’re all sipping on sugary brown liquid and snacking on food cans, having a grand ol’ time on the reddish terrain. You think you might just lay down for a moment, and-

Oh, what’s A.imless R.enegade warbling about?

> WV: Check on AR.

He seems to be pointing at a pointless dune. But as you narrow your beady little eyes at it, it’s not pointless at all. There’s a door among all the dirt, and it has opened to a dark path inside. You turn to your friends, who both blink at you.

> WV: Examine the mysterious new passage.

You convince A.imless R.enegade and P.eregine M..endicant to follow you. They seem nervous, but trail behind you curiously. As you three approach the door after a good amount of walking, a feeling of uneasiness washes over you. The passage seems endless with barely any light reaching in after a few steps. You look back at the two behind you.

> WV: Brush off this uneasy feeling.

A true mayor isn’t scared of dark passageways under dunes!

You turn forward again and continue walking. The chamber around you looks to be made of concrete, going on for seemingly forever. You feel a hand awkwardly grab onto yours for comfort. You assume it to be A.imless R.enegade’s hand and digits, as the passage barely allows the exchanging of positions, and he was right behind you last time you checked.

You would humor him, but instead you grasp his hand firmly, reassuring him.

But suddenly, you hear the entrance thud shut. A light flickers on at what looks to be the end of the passageway. It hums as you draw closer, allowing the bulkier one to cling onto you.

> WV: Investigate the end of the really fucking scary passageway.

You approach the end.

There’s a door, but you can’t pull it as there’s no handle, so..

> WV: Push open the door.

It opens with ease, almost as if it were made to be pushed, which it was.

You shake A.imless R.enegade off of your arm and walk in, keeping the door open for your associates. AR stumbles in, with P.eregine M.endicant humoring him a little. You chitter to yourself as it is indeed a bit funny.

> WV: Observe room.

It’s much like the previous rooms you’ve encountered, albeit a bit smaller. A completely new device rests in the middle, however, with its controls at the back. You eye it curiously, straying further from your friends.

> WV: Examine contraption.

You notice at first a podium with a sort of spiral beam thingy connected to the ceiling pointing at it, which your friends curiously stand on. You have a bad feeling about that thing, but nothing’s happening, so you direct your attention to the console at the back.

> WV: Examine console.

It’s a simple setup, with a lever and button. Engravings next to the lever indicate different measurements, but they’re so worn down you can hardly read it. The lever is almost completely down. You have an odd feeling about the button, but it’s just SO enticing..

> WV: Press button.

ZAP!

Panicked, you look behind yourself to see if AR and PM are okay, but..

They’re not there! You look around frantically, anxiety growing until you see dashes of color on the podium.

> WV: Examine dashes of color on the podium.

Is that..

No, it can’t be..

It’s A.imless R.enegade and P.eregine M.endicant! And they’re TINY!

> WV: Pick up AR and PM.

Your friends squirm a whole lot, but they’re rather easy to grab and observe. You don’t think they have any injuries, which is good. The only thing is they’re big enough to hold in one hand. You’re not sure if they’re quite safe in this new state..

A.imless R.enegade tries to bite one of your digits, but it barely hurts. You guess it isn’t too comfy cramped in there with P.eregine M.endicant, who is frozen in panic at the situation. You use one digit to pet them each. They’re kind of cute like this!

> WV: Resist great urge to eat friends.

They’re so adorably small you could just gobble them up! But that’s not what a proper friend does, so you don’t do it.

> WV: Look for hiding spot on person.

You’re not sure if you’re able to grow them back to size, so you look for a hiding spot for your friends.

Well, that was pointless. You have no pockets, you dingus!

> PM: Squirm frantically.

You notice P.eregine has gotten out of her state of shock. That’s good, but now she’s wiggling around like a stupid worm in your clutch, and A.imless isn’t exactly happy.

Oddly enough, worms do seem a bit appetizing at the current moment..

> WV: Resist great urge to eat friends.

Oh, goddamnit! Now A.imless R.enegade is panicking while P.eregine M.endicant is stuck in your throat! She tasted a little coconutty, albeit a teensy bit salty and dusty..

After cramming P.eregine M.endicant down your gullet whole with a bit of a struggle, you’re now eager to taste A.imless R.enegade.

> AR: Fight against WV’s grasp.

The small guy seems to really want to run away. But to be fair, it’s probably safer in your gut, and he maybe tastes really good!

You lap at A.imless R.enegade’s face as he squirms against your tongue. His flavor was quite similar to a banana! Your hungry mouth watered as he stared worriedly at you.

> WV: Eat AR. Now.

He struggled a whole bunch, refusing to go down like P.eregine did. For a moment you thought you’d choke on A.imless, but eventually you were able to gulp him down smoothly. His and P.eregine’s weight fit snugly in your belly, a little unnoticeable, but you can feel them shivering in there, scared as could be.

You think you might owe them an apology if you’re able to hack them up later..

You approach the door that led you to this odd room.

> WV: Pull open door.

Instead of pushing, you pulled.

You could feel A.imless kicking at your stomach walls with P.eregine, but it mostly tickled as you went down the passageway once more. You.. wondered what it was like in there, in your gut. Maybe it was warm and cozy, despite being wet and soggy?

You bumped into the entrance door.

> WV: Push door.

Huh. You guess the wind was the thing that closed it, because it easily opened with a budge. You stepped back outside.

> WV: Make way back.

You were.. Getting kinda tuckered out.

You guess A.imless and P.eregine were, too, due to their decreased activity..

As you made it back to your little spot, you yawned. You guess you could lay down and finally catch some Z’s..

Yeah, that’s a good idea..

> WV: Sleep.

Digital Burnout: Your Brain is Not a 24/7 Drive-Thru

INTRODUCTION:

Remember when "burnout" meant doing sick donuts in a parking lot? Now it's your brain doing donuts while you stare at your phone from 5PM to 11 PM. Welcome to the digital burnout, the modern equivalent of trying to run a marathon while juggling chainsaws and responding to Facebook messages.

Signs You're Digitally Burnt (Besides Your Smoking Keyboard)

Look, if your eye twitch has its own Instagram following, we need to talk. Here's what digital burnout actually looks like:

Your phone separation anxiety rivals a teenager's fear of missing a TikTok trend

Your thumb has developed abs from endless scrolling

You've memorized every pixel of your LinkedIn homepage

Your coffee maker gets more rest than you do

The Science breakdown (Don't Worry, We'll Keep It Spicier Than Your Ex's Instagram Stories)

Your brain on digital overload is like a hamster who had a Redbull. Chaotic, messy, and heading nowhere fast. Here's the deal:

Your anxiety is partying harder than college freshmen

Your attention span now matches a goldfish with ADHD

Your sleep cycle is more disturbed than a good horror movie 

7 Ways to Stop the Digital Dumpster Fire

Digital Boundaries That Don't Suck:

Treat work emails like that clingy ex – set strict visiting hours

Your phone isn't a conjoined twin – surgical separation is allowed

Create a notification system that doesn't feel like a hostage situation

The 90/20 Method (Because Your Brain Isn't Netflix – It Needs Breaks). Work like you're being chased by deadlines for 90 minutes. Take 20-minute breaks where screens are as forbidden as pineapple on pizza

Implementation Plan (Or: How to Actually Do This Stuff Without Having a Existential Crisis)

Week 1: Reality Check

Count your notification pings (if you reach 1000 before lunch, seek help)

Track your screen time like you track your ex's new relationship status

Document when your eye twitch turns into a flutter

Week 2-3: The Intervention

Delete apps like you're cleaning out your Ex’s belongings

Set boundaries firmer than your grandmother's opinions

Create device-free zones (yes, the bathroom counts)

When It All Goes Wrong (Because It Will)

Look, you'll fail. Like that time you promised to start meal prep or learn Spanish on Rosetta Stone. Here's what actually happens:

The Client Emergency

Everyone's definition of "emergency" is different. Your client's 11 PM "URGENT!" email about font choices isn't actually urgent

Solution: Auto-reply and simply let your snark cannon handle it (don’t do that, you still haven’t paid of school loans yet)

The FOMO Spiral

Your brain: "But what if someone posted something IMPORTANT?"

Reality: It's probably just another gym selfie or coffee art

Solution: Remind yourself that social media is just everyone's highlight reel on steroids (top heavy and disgruntled about everything)

Measuring Success (Without Spreadsheets Because We're Not Monsters)

You're winning if:

Your eye twitch downgrades from "possessed" to "mildly concerning"

You can watch an entire movie without checking your phone

Your plants are alive because you actually notice them now

Your pets remember what you look like

The Real Talk Section

Let's be honest – you're probably reading this on your phone while ignoring three other tasks. The irony isn't lost on us. But here's the truth bomb: digital burnout isn't just about screen time. It's about reclaiming your brain from the technological equivalent of a toddler hopped up on pixie sticks.

Your Action Plan (Because We Can't Leave You Hanging Like a Netflix Series)

Right Now:

Put your phone down (after reading this, obviously)

Take a deep breath (oxygen is still free, unlike app subscriptions)

Look at something further than 6 inches from your face

Today:

Pick ONE thing from this guide

Actually do it (revolutionary, we know)

Don't immediately post about doing it

This Week:

Set up auto-replies snarkier than this article (Again, not recommended if you want to keep your job)

Remember what your hobbies were BC (Before Connectivity)

Conclusion:

Your brain deserves better than being a 24/7 digital carnival. Start small, fail forward, and remember: every time you ignore a notification, an IT angel gets its wings.

Final Call to Action:

Download a Digital Detox Tracker. Or don't. We're not your mom.

[posttexasstressdisorder]

GOOD NEWS!

There’s a new plan to revive the Affordable Connectivity Program, a pandemic-era initiative that provides low-income households in the US with discounts on high-speed internet access.

At the end of April, funding for the program was set to run out, affecting millions. But a bipartisan group of senators, led by Ben Ray Luján of New Mexico, have proposed using a Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization measure as a vehicle for funding the ACP and other telecom programs for a combined $6 billion. Luján’s coalition includes senators J.D. Vance, Peter Welch, Jacky Rosen, Steve Daines, and Roger Wicker.

“Right now, there are over 23 million households participating in this program. That’s more than 55 million people. But it’s not only benefiting these individual families—it’s benefiting their local communities as well,” Luján tells WIRED. “It gives families access to better-paying jobs, to training and education to create economic mobility, to better deals on groceries and household goods. The time is now to save this program.”

The measure also includes a provision for the Federal Communication Commission’s “rip and replace program,” which refunds US telecom providers for removing equipment from Chinese manufacturers including Huawei and ZTE from their networks and replacing it with less-risky tech. Earlier this month, the FCC asked Congress for around $2 billion to help bolster the program, which has faced a shortfall. That initiative has been in place since 2020, which is when the FCC identified Huawei and ZTE as national security threats and then-president Donald Trump signed the “rip-and-replace” bill into law.

“It’s also critical that we adequately fund the ‘rip-and-replace’ program to ensure our country can move forward the effort to remove and replace untrusted technological equipment. This amendment also empowers the FCC to reauction spectrum licenses to free up airwaves and allow more opportunities for the public to access faster internet speeds and more responsive networks,” Luján said.

The Biden administration has made significant investments in broadband expansion over the past few years. In a speech last month, Biden called on Congress to reinvest in the ACP.

“High-speed internet isn’t a luxury anymore, it’s an absolute necessity,” Biden said. “Congress needs to reauthorize that program now.”

Update, May 7 at 7:19 pm: A previous version of this story misidentified the state Ben Ray Luján represents in the US Senate. It is New Mexico.

[rebellion-of-the-oppressed]

Public Powers of the Venezuelan State, the following actions will be carried out: 1. Working hours will be adjusted from 8:00 am to 12:30 pm for the next six (06) weeks. Agencies that guarantee essential services to the population will be exempt from this action. 2. The 1x1 is declared, which consists of one working day for one non-working day. 3.

What am I-What I Believe Mercury Retrograde Aries/Pisces 

What am I-What I Believe Mercury Retrograde Aries/Pisces

On March 14, 2025 Mercury will begin it retrograde motion in the sign of Aries, beginning at 2:46 am EDT/ 11:46 pm PDT. It will regress Mercury back the to the sign of in Pisces March 30th (26º 50') April 7, at 7:08 am EST/ 4:08 am PST. Thhis portion of the transit will change the complexion ofthe transit so be mindful of how that will change the nature of the transit.

Aries is a sign that seeks enlightenment through ego assertion and self realization. As its best, Aries are self reliant, resolute and courageous. At their worst, Aries’ can arrogant, rash and vain. Its ruling planet, Mars, fosters the fight or flight impulse, demanding direct action to resolve problems or issues. It is a force that governs the energies of vitality, passion and empowerment.

Pisces, in relation to the zodiac, is a mutable water sign that is both spiritual and intuitive. It is seeking to unify the realms of the unconscious states and spiritual concerns with consensus reality and daily living. At its best Pisces is compassionate, selfless and intuitive. At its worst, Pisces is vacillating, irresponsible and needy. I will provide a follow up on The Pisces Portion on the 30th.

Mercury, in Astrology, governs thought, communications, short term travel and concepts. In conjunction with Aries it urges one to review past choices and decisions with an eye towards the future. What must you do to put your life more in line to who want to be? Are their traits you’d like to change about yourself? This retrograde may help you affect a general self improvement program, allowing you to reveal aspects of your inmost self in outwardly way. Remember, Retrogrades are not the time to initiate new endeavors, but review past ones

Real change should be made after the transit ends on April 15th. Things may change during this period, but take your cue from issues that arise during the transit. You may need to make some adjustments at this time, but leave off radical changes until after the transit ends

This particular retrograde may prove helpful in your spring cleaning efforts as it has an element of clearing away that which is extraneous or superfluous, paring things down to that which is most essential. Mercury’s reversal in course can at time prove chaotic. As the planet Mercury governs devices for communication (phones, TV’s computers, correspondence, etc) it retrograde might cause these items to malfunction or delay their use. Prepare for upsets and postponement of your to plans and efforts. A sense of humor and a large measure of patience is often a remedy to some of the dilemma’s one confronts during a retrograde.

Aries, the next few week may ask you to reverse course in some significant area of your life, revisit some matter you thought you’ve settled. The purpose of this exercise is repair something meaningful and useful to you. This work may provide an emblem toward a major shift in your life.

Libra, you may be required to get back to your roots, your core self at this time. Chiefly, to find what you require, as Libra can be focus upon the needs of others. The balance of the scales might just need to be tipped in your favorite at this time. Plan on settling old debts.

Cancer and Capricorn, frustrating and nagging elements just might be urging you to step back and fall into alignment with that which is basic and essential to who you are. Solving core issues may help you reassert something important in your life. Step out of comfort zones when urged to by Mercury

There are activities that tend benefit from Retrogrades. Creative projects tend to do well, specifically ones close to completion. Spiritual and metaphysical activities do well during Retrogrades. Short term travel at this time may prove helpful, breaking up routines and offer one a chance to rethink former positions. Given the highly personal part of this retrograde, a little down time might just be in order.

As Mercury sojourns through Aries territory, reclaim a vital part of who you are and what you stand for. Let Mercury Retrograde in Aries usher in a time of restoration and renewal.

Atomic force microscope operates at very close range and without a lens. There are several different types of atomic force microscope, and they all operate by measuring a local property, whether height, optical absorption, or magnetism, using a probe placed very close to the sample. This probe makes it possible to measure qualities over a small area, and an image of that area can be produced that resembles an image on a television screen, consisting of many rows or lines of information placed one above the other. The size of the probe is what generally limits resolution, as opposed to a traditional microscope, where the limitation derives from diffraction effects. When brought close to the sample, the probe measures attractive or repulsive forces between the tip and the sample. The "contact" mode is also called the repulsive mode in which the instrument lightly touches a tip at the end of a leaf spring or "cantilever" to the sample. A raster-scan drags the tip over the sample, and as this occurs, the detection apparatus measures the vertical deflection of the cantilever, indicating the local sample height. This means that in contact mode, the AFM measures hard-sphere repulsion forces between the tip and sample. The probe also works in noncontact mode to derive topographic images from measurements of attractive forces, and in this approach, the tip does not touch the sample. This device is able to produce a resolution of 10 pm. It is superior to electron microscopes in that it can image samples in air and under liquids (Baselt paras. 2-4). The first such device was created "by meticulously gluing a tiny shard of diamond onto one end of a tiny strip of gold foil" (Hong-Qiang Li para. 1). This was in the fall of 1985 as Gerd Binnig and Christoph Gerber used the cantilever to examine insulating surfaces, so that the small hook at the end of the cantilever pressed against the surface while the sample was scanned as the force between tip and sample was measured by tracking the deflection of the cantilever: This was done by monitoring the tunneling current to a second tip positioned above the cantilever. They could delineate lateral features as small as 300 A. The force microscope emerged in this way. In fact, without the breakthrough in tip manufacture, the AFM probably would have remained a curiosity in many research groups. It was Albrecht, a fresh graduate student, who fabricated the first silicon microcantilever and measured the atomic structure of boron nitride. (Hong-Qiang Li para. 1) The tip-cantilever assembly today is usually microfabricated from Si or Si3N4. With further developments, the microcantilevers were perfected. The development of the AFM is part of an ongoing process whereby scientists are trying to analyze smaller and smaller spaces, and the AFM offers many advantages: Scientists are thus gaining new knowledge about how matter operates and interacts at the atomic and molecular level. This means that they can now begin connecting different molecules to one another -- molecules that nature might never have been able to put together. The result will be the creation of entirely new materials, such as a material 100 times stronger than steel but weighing only one-sixth as much. (Uldritch para. 11) Philip Ball emphasizes the importance of the AFM in molecular studies, noting that the AFM "allows researchers to probe the mechanical properties of molecules - how stiff or stretchy they are, for instance. A molecule can literally be grasped at one end by the AFM and pulled like a piece of elastic" (Ball 107). The AFM has its limitations a swell. It is used in the analysis of proteins in medical research, but it cannot provide all the data needed: "The atomic force microscope has resolution sharp enough to see individual atoms but is unable to penetrate below the surface" (Dyson 44). The atomic force microscope has found many uses in different fields. Brian Kooyman notes one use for the AFM in archaeological studies when he writes, The use of the Atomic Force Microscope has allowed Kimball and colleagues to produce textural analysis surface plots that allow them to assess the differences in polish in high and low areas of topography which is critical to success in differentiation of polishes. (Kooyman 159) Ruth Kavenoff points out the use of the AFM in studying the genome, stating that the AFM "can visualize fine details like the two strands of the double helix in small segments of DNA, but they are not suited to DNA molecules as large as the bacterial chromosome" (Kavenoff 37). Another form of this microscope is called the scanning tunneling microscope (STM), which also provides pictures of atoms on or in surfaces. Both types have been used for a variety of purposes, including "to solve processing and materials problems in a wide range of technologies affecting the electronics, telecommunications, biological, chemical, automotive, aerospace, and energy industries. The materials being investigated include thin and thick film coatings, ceramics, composites, glasses, synthetic and biological membranes, metals, polymers, and semiconductors. The AFM is being applied to studies of phenomena such as abrasion, adhesion, cleaning, corrosion, etching, friction, lubrication, plating, and polishing" ("What is an Atomic Force Microscope?" para. 4). The AFM has a laser beam detection system to monitor the bending of the tip, and by this means a topographical image is generated. This imafge is third-dimensional and allows for the measurement of surface features and the generation of surface statistics. One company uses the AFM "to generate pore size distribution data for filtration membranes which is then used in process prediction and optimization. Different AFM imaging modes can be used to optimize the study of different surfaces increasing resolution or accessing further data. Thus the non-contact AFM mode, as its name suggests, allows the imaging of soft easily damaged samples without contact" ("Atomic Force Microscopy" para. 2). Francesc Perez-Murano writes about the use of AFM in the process of nanolithography. This method has been used for two decades in order to define nanometer scale structures and devices: The most common method is based on applying a voltage between the AFM tip and the surface: the presence of humidity in the air induces local oxidation of the surface. The resulting thin oxide layer forms itself into a nanostructure, or can serve as a mask for subsequent selective etching of the surface. (Perez-Murano para. 1). The author notes a new but related use of AFM for a process known as PMMA Polymethyl-methacrylate). The general ability of AFM to oxidize materials has been used to fabricate structures on many materials: Now we have applied the same technique to thin layers of PMMA. PMMA is particularly relevant to nanotechnology as it's used as a resist material for electron beam lithography. The PMMA is locally exposed to a beam of electrons, changing its properties and making it solvent in a convenient developer. With AFM nanolithography, we have obtained at least the same resolution as with electron beam lithography systems, which are not as readily available as AFM in research laboratories. What's more, there is no need for a development process since the PMMA is directly eliminated. (Perez-Murano para. 2) Other methods have been used for scratching the PMMA by exerting a high force with the AFM tip, but this new approach involves a new mechanism responsible for eliminating the PMMA: "As confirmed by electrical measurements, the process involves an electrochemical reaction that causes the PMMA to dissolve" (Perez-Murano para. 3). The work is of interest both from a practical point-of-view - combination with electron beam lithography is already demonstrated - as well as for fundamental reasons - it identifies a new mechanism of surface modification. Because AFM operates without damaging the material being analyzed, this method has been widely used for analyzing biological materials. In order to understand biological systems, their structure must be understood, and structural biology is the study of the structure and function of components of living systems. The AFM is a vital tool for analyzing the surface topography of native biomolecules at subnanometer resolution: Unlike X-ray crystallography and electron microscopy (EM), the AFM allows biomolecules to be imaged not only under physiological conditions, but also while biological processes are at work. Because of the high signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio, the detailed topological information is not restricted to crystalline specimens. Hence single biomolecules without inherent symmetry can be directly monitored in their native environment. (Miller, Aebi, and Engel para. 1) The AFM can also offer data on the binding properties of biological systems, such as the specific interaction between two kinds of molecules. This can be accomplished by binding one kind of molecule to the top of the cantilever and the other on the surface of the sample support: The adhesion force upon separation is then a measure of the binding strength. This method allowed the intermolecular forces between individual ligand-receptor pairs... complementary DNA strands... cell adhesion proteoglycans... And the specific antigen-antibody interaction... To be determined. (Miller, Aebi, and Engel para. 2) An advantage of the AFM is that it can analyze native tissue directly without prior dehydration, useful for such investigations as that of articular cartilage which has to be kept in physiological buffer to preserve its ultrastructure. Surface irregularities are often seen when using the scanning electron microscope, but these are absent using the AFM. One such analysis is described below: Occasionally, the cartilage surface exhibits local discontinuities where an underlying fibrous network is distinguishable. Digestion of the cartilage surface with chondroitinase AC exposes this fibrous network more systematically so that the individual fibers are visualized with great clarity by AFM. When imaged at higher magnification, these distinct fibers exhibit a 60nm repeat, indicating that they are assembled from collagen fibrils. (Miller, Aebi, and Engel para. 4) The AFM has been shown to be valuable in similar analyses of biological materials and processes. While AFM images also offer a view of the atomic detail of solids, the process is not useful for analyzing biomolecules such as proteins because they are designed to undergo conformational changes and form flexible supermolecular assemblies, meaning they are mechanically "soft" so that the surface cannot be probed for atomic detail. However, as Miller, Aebi, and Engel note, "state-of-the-art specimen preparation and instrumentation now allow the surface topography of native proteins to be imaged at subnanometer resolution" (para. 5). A recent example of biological research using the AFM comes from Santa Barbara, California, where researchers used the AFM to discern unique properties of bone: Collagen, the most abundant protein in the human body -- serving as a structural component of a variety of tissues including bone, tendon and skin -- reveals special properties which allow it to "bounce back" when pulled or stressed in laboratory experiments. The AFM operates by tapping and pulling with a tiny needle. ("Bone Strength Probed by Scientists" para. 1) This research shows that the collagen in bone contains sacrificial bonds that rupture as the collagen is stretched, and these ruptures then heal. The purpose of these bonds is to provide a means for dissipating mechanical energy in collagen molecules (("Bone Strength Probed by Scientists" para. 2). AFMs constitute a subset within the larger group known as scanning-probe microscopes, which can utilize many different types of tips to measure electrical, mechanical, or magnetic properties. Tips exist that can perform simultaneous dimensional and electrical measurements. It is when a scanning-probe microscope uses a tip that can discern properties at the atomic level that the instrument becomes an atomic-force microscope. Such devices can measure features within a few Angstroms and do so without harming the sample. As on scientist notes, "Manufacturers need to perform nondestructive measurements in all three dimensions to ensure their device geometries fall within ever-smaller tolerances" (Titus para. 4). Another company uses AFM to detect flaws in surface-acoustic-wave devices, defects that cannot be seen with an optical microscope. The same company uses AFM to check the results of steps in photolithograpy (Titus paras 5-6). Kevin Kjoller considers how to measure the true resolving power of an atomic force microscope, noting first that resolution means the same as it does for an optical microscope, meaning the minimum distance between two adjacent objects that a microscope can identify as separate. Kjoller complains that most manufacturers substitute some meaningless term for resolution and ignore the reality. Several issues need to be considered, such as the size of the probe and three types of limiting noise, electical, mechanical, and acoustic. Kjoller defines electtical noise as "the sum of the thermal and operating noise from all components inside the AFM electronics, including any noise due to cross-talk and less-than-optimal grouping" (Kjoller para. 7). Mechanical noise can be particularly harmful and may derive from the mechanical path length between the probe and the sample. Acoustic noise means that the system generates noise, and this can be eliminated with a well-designed and well-implemented acoustic isolation environment" (Kjoller paras. 8-9). The accuracy of the AFM depends on the state of the tip, and a worn tip can produce blurred images ("V-shaped Tips Blur Microscopy" paras. 1-7). Efforts to control for this include the recent development of an automatic tip evaluation system showing when the tip needs to be replaced ("Automatic Tip Evaluation Broadens AFM Applications" para. 1). More and more applications for the AFM are developed all the time. Scientists have found many ways to make use of the unique capabilities of this system to analyze different substances down to the atomic level.

What is a Retrofit Emission Control Device (RECD) and Why is it Essential?

In the global shift to renewable energy, controlling diesel emissions and those from industrial machinery is a high priority. Retrofit emission control devices (RECD) reduce pollutants to ensure compliance with regulations and promote cleaner air. To help readers understand the necessity of RECD, this article explains its benefits, importance, and operation.

What Is a Retrofit Emission Control Device (RECD)?

A Refit Emission Control device (RECD ) is a pollution control system that reduces harmful emissions from diesel generators, industrial equipment, and more. The devices can be retrofitted to existing systems, meaning they need not be built during production.

How does a retrofit emission control device work?

RECDs utilize different filtration, catalytic converters, and other techniques to capture and neutralize dangerous emissions. 

These core technologies are:

DPF (Diesel Particulate Filters): Retains and burns the particulates, reducing black carbon emissions.

Selective catalytic reduction (SCR). Reduces NOx emission into nitrogen and water by using a urea-based catalyst.

Diesel Oxidation catalysts (DOC). Decreases hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emission by oxidizing it into less toxic gases.

Electric Precipitators: Uses electrical forces to remove fine particle matter from exhaust gases.

Why do diesel generators need a RECD?

In industries, hospitals, offices, and commercial buildings, diesel generators contribute to air pollution. A RECD may be required because:

Regulations from Governments: Many countries like India require Rechargeable Electrochemical Discharge Devices (RECDs) to comply with emissions norms.

Environment Concerns: Diesel generators cause pollution by producing NOx (pollutants) and particulates, which harm the respiratory system and environment.

Goals for Sustainability: Organizations adopt sustainable practices to achieve ESG (Environmental, Societal, and Governance standards).

Increased fuel efficiency: Installing a RECD will improve engine performance and life.

Use of an Emission Control Retrofit Device

RECDs are a necessity for businesses and industries that rely on DG sets.

Decreases air pollution: Lowers NOx, PM, and CO emissions.

Regulation Compliance: Aids businesses in meeting emission norms set by the government and avoiding penalties.

Economical: Increases fuel economy, resulting in lower operating costs.

Health benefits: Reduces pollutants in the air, improving public safety.

Promotes sustainability goals: Participates in corporate social responsibility (CSR).

Installation is easy: Generators can be retrofitted without major modification.

RECD applications in different sectors

The adoption of Retrofit Emission Control Devices in multiple industries is on the rise:

Industrial: Power backup is provided by DGs, which requires emission control.

Hospitals A continuous power supply in hospitals is essential, while RECDs provide clean air.

IT Parks & Commercial Buildings Reduce emissions in urban areas to maintain better air.

Construction Sites Using portable DG sets is widespread and requires pollution control measures.

Residential Societies The lack of backup power for apartment buildings can cause pollution in the surrounding area, which is why RECDs are necessary.

How do you choose the right RECD for your diesel generator?

Selecting the best Retrofit Emission Control Device will depend on several factors.

Generator capacity: The RECD should match the generator power rating.

Controlling the type of pollutants: Some RECDs aim to reduce NOx while others focus on PM.

Used Technology: Choose from DPF or SCR to reduce emissions.

Required Maintenance: Some products require cleaning and/or replacement of filters.

Certification and Compliance: Ensure the RECD meets CPCB standards (Central Pollution Control Board) or an equivalent standard.

RECD: Challenges to Implementation

Although they have many benefits, Retrofit Emission Control Devices can be challenging.

Initial cost: While high-quality RECDs may be costly initially, their long-term benefits justify any initial investment.

Maintaining Efficiency: The machine requires regular servicing to remain efficient.

Technical expertise: The installation requires skilled professionals.

Compatibility problems: RECD does not work with all DGs, requiring custom-made solutions.

Future Retrofit Emission Control device

The demand for RECD will increase due to increased awareness of environmental issues and tighter regulations. Government incentives, technological advancements in emissions control, and corporate sustainability efforts will all drive adoption. Future hybrids and electrics may help reduce the reliance on diesel engines, but RECD is still a vital part of a transition towards cleaner energy.

Conclusion.

Retrofit Emission Control Devices (RECD) are crucial in reducing diesel generator pollution. For businesses, industrial facilities, and residents, an RECD can be a great investment. RECDs are becoming more commonplace to minimize pollution. They will help pave the way for a greener future.
