Utah’s Cold Fusion Moment

Utah’s Cold Fusion Moment

U of U chemists Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons told the world they had “established a sustained nuclear fusion reaction” at room temperature. If true, not only would this be a clean source of energy, but an answer to climate problems. The trouble is, no other scientists could re-create the experiment and Fleischmann and Pons were soon written off as junk scientists. This Friday at 11 a.m., we’ll talk about that moment in Utah history. GUESTS: Rod Decker is a retired news reporter for KUTV-2.   Clayton Brown is a co-director and co-producer for the film “The Believers” and an Associate Professor of Communications at Northwestern University.  Monica Long Ross is a co-director and co-producer for the film “The Believers” You can… Source link

Renewable ammonia: the future of fuels?

Renewable ammonia: the future of fuels?

Half a decade or so ago, it seemed that the time had arrived for the hydrogen economy. But when the engineers of the world began to consider the details of using vast supplies of renewables to generate hydrogen in quantities that have never been produced previously and moving it safely around the world, they saw a daunting prospect, for a variety of reasons. These included difficulties in using existing bulk carriers and pipelines for hydrogen transportation as well as the safety aspects of the need to store large amounts of hydrogen in transport hubs. The research community then began to cast around for alternatives, compounds that could carry hydrogen but were safer and more straightforward to transport in large quantities over great distances. Ammonia rapidly emerged as a leading… Source link

More on Martin Luther King. Day: Linda Sugarman writes: “When Dr. King visited Temple Israel in 1964, he met illustrator Tracy Sugarman. Tracy — my father-in-law — decided to go to Mississippi,  to belp register voters. “The result of that experience was  ‘Stranger at the Gates,’ published in 1966. Over the years after the Mississippi Freedom Summer, Tracy, his wife June, and their friends Bill and Ellie Buckley created an educational film production company called  Rediscovery Films. “They produced many films about the people involved in that summer, and about the continuing struggle throughout the South for recognition and support of the quest for civil rights and attaining the vote. “The Westport Library has copies of all of their films, and of the book… Source link

Johnnys’ Jr. group leader makes breakthrough discovery in marine biology in downtown Osaka

Johnnys’ Jr. group leader makes breakthrough discovery in marine biology in downtown Osaka

You don’t get much more Japanese than an idol fishing for eel on the Dotonbori. Being a TV personality on Japanese variety shows really involves enduring a range of experiences, with some good, like sampling fine cuisine, and some bad, like getting a pie in the face. I’m not really sure where conducting marine biology research usually rates on that scale, but for Ken Kojima, the leader of Ae! group, an idol unit belonging to the Johnnys’ Jr. roster, it became a historic moment in the city of Osaka. ▼ Ae! group performing their single “Firebird” live While filming a segment on the MBS variety show Kansai Johnny Haku, Kojima took part in a survey of Osaka’s famous Dotonbori River that runs through right the… Source link

MIT video game teaches players how to stop a white woman from harassing a Muslim

MIT video game teaches players how to stop a white woman from harassing a Muslim

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have yet to achieve cold fusion, but they have poured their time and money into creating a video game about racism on an airplane. With real racism being so rare these days, it’s no wonder that it had to be manufactured. WOKEISM THREATENS TO DESTROY AMERICA’S FOUNDATION. WE MUST NOT LET IT The game, On the Plane, is a virtual reality role-playing game that “encourages players to take on new roles that may be outside of their personal experiences in the first person, allowing them to confront in-group/out-group bias,” according to the university. Participants will see three characters in the game: “Sarah, a first-generation Muslim American of Malaysian ancestry who wears a hijab; Marianne, a white woman from the… Source link

MVDs: Back-To-Back Champs Edition – Dawg Sports
