To the Stars with Data

It's here–the deepest, sharpest infrared view of the universe to date: Webb's First Deep Field. Previewed by @POTUS on July 11, it shows galaxies once invisible to us. The full set of @NASAWebb's first full-color images & data will be revealed July 12: nasa.gov/webbfirstimages

🌊 @Idenergie_Inc makes a water turbine that generates up to 12kWh of energy per day (as much as 12 solar panels 😱). The turbine is minimal, made from aluminum, and even ships in separate parts to save on transport costs and space. Now THAT'S a great climate solution

☄ With the help of citizen scientists (thanks, @the_zooniverse!) and AI, researchers find 1,701 new asteroid trails in 20 years of Hubble data. mpe.mpg.de/7869022/news_p…

🛢 Based in Israel, Plasticback breaks down plastics into oils, waxes, and other valuable chemicals in small room-temperature conversion units (5m x 5m). Current alternatives for doing so require very hot and very large units plastic-back.com

🕳 NASA released a visualization of 22 known black hole binary systems. The colors of the black hole accretion discs have been altered; normally, the black hole accretion discs would be blindingly bright compared to their star 😱 youtu.be/NqOhCBRnrnA

🧬 Researchers studied the genomes of over 18,500 tumors—the largest number to date—to find signatures across cancers. And boy howdy, they found 58 new ones! Rock on 🤘 singularityhub.com/2022/04/26/lar…

🏭 The US DOE has given conditional approval for a $504m loan for a green hydrogen hub in Utah. Hydrogen, a power source with huge potential, is colored based on how it’s created. Naturally, green indicates that it’s created with renewable energy. ♻ sltrib.com/news/2022/04/2…

🤖 Researchers built an AI to differentiate animals & understand and track their behavior over time. The AI can detect different behaviors such as those linked to stress, fear, curiosity, and more.😱 freethink.com/technology/ani…

Can YOU reach Net Zero? The @FinancialTimes created The Climate Game, a choose-your-own-adventure game that pits players against climate change to see if they can reach Net Zero by 2050. ig.ft.com/climate-game/
