Franz Josef Ulm entwickelt am MIT in den Vereinigten Staaten einen Spezialbeton, der als Superkondensator zum Energiespeicher werden kann.
Dazu mischt er Industrie-Ruß mit Beton.
45 qbm könnten einen Durchschnittshaushalt mit Strom versorgen.
Eine mittlere Sensation, die den Beton vom Klimakiller zum Klimaretter macht!
Wenn Forscher wie Herr Ulm nun durch die neue Regierung in den USA Schwierigkeiten bekommen, könnten europäische Forschungsinstitute ein neuer Hafen für ihre bahnbrechende Arbeit werden.
Danke an @derspiegel_de

Here's a thing I did last year. A Professional Certification in Sustainability from MIT Professional Education.
"New York Times bestselling author Cory Doctorow returns to the world of Red Team Blues to bring us the origin story of Martin Hench and the most powerful new tool for crime ever invented: the personal computer.
The year is 1986. The city is San Francisco. Here, Martin Hench will invent the forensic accountant — what a bounty hunter is to people, he is to money — but for now he’s an MIT dropout odd-jobbing his way around a city still reeling from the invention of a revolutionary new technology that will change everything about crime forever, one we now take completely for granted.
'Picks And Shovels' is a high-tech crime thriller about the “weird era of PCs” in the early 1980s, when Reaganomics, the tech industry, multilevel marketing, and the AIDS crisis all converged in San Francisco. "—Jacobin

Today I learned about the existence of MIT's giant flywheel, which reportedly has a right of way easement across Cambridge in case it ever falls off track and rolls into the sea. There would be no stopping it.

Also, I learned what a flywheel is.

Great to see #Harvard taking a stand - and they’re not alone. Only a handful of universities like #Yale, #Princeton, #Stanford, and #MIT have the financial strength to push back and hold the line. Now’s the time for leadership with real backbone. #AcademicFreedom #HigherEd #USPol #ResearchSky

They were quick to identify that Trump’s campaign didn’t really seem to be about fighting antisemitism @ all, but rather about using that fight as a justification for govt overreach. Roth, a historian & the pres. of #Wesleyan told The New Yorker, “Anti-antisemitism can be appropriated by any political movement. They can use that as a vehicle for persecuting researchers & institutions that are not aligned w/the ideology of the person in charge.”

I love that #Harvard has taken a stand against the current administration and chosen not to fold their research efforts. Too much is at stake for the future of citizens of the US and globally. Their website profiles the work of Dr. David Walt. David and I shared a lab while at #MIT. He is a wonderful person and researcher. It is critical that his efforts, and those of scientists around the country, continue.
