Robert “Ed” Smylie, the NASA official who saved the Apollo 13 crew in 1970, has died at 95. He cobbled together an apparatus made of cardboard, plastic bags and duct tape after an explosion crippled the spacecraft as it sped toward the moon. nyti.ms/3Sbusb3

The results from BloombergNEF's 2024 lithium-ion battery price survey are out. Lithium-ion battery pack prices dropped 20% from 2023 to a record low of $115 per kilowatt-hour. This is the largest decline observed in our survey since 2017. 🧵⬇️

Our recent @natureportfolio.bsky.social paper with TKazlou & @acherp.bsky.social argues there is little hope #CCS can grow fast enough for 1.5°C target. The 2°C target is realistic if CCS failure drops fast and CCS expands as fast as mainstream energy technologies. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
