We also discover that the agricultural characteristics are markedly superior at the lower temperature. This is important because the tendency with metal kilns is to run to higher temperatures in order to speed the process. That earthen kiln methodolo

We continue to get unexpected results with grapheme. Here the surplus heat is bled off directly into the silica substrate by electromagnetic transference. And while we are at it, the grapheme fails to permit thermalization. This is almost too go

It is anyone’s guess regarding where this will take us but understanding the underlying physics is a great start. I suspect that we will be able to design superconducting behavior into a thin layer of atoms. Maybe even print it some day.

It is easy to understand what drives cellulose based biofuel research. There is plenty of it and by its very nature, only termites and odd single cell animals thrive on its food value. Converting waste cellulose to a fuel precursor is a very desirabl
