I like how their use of the natural behavior of fish made not only more profits for them, but also created improvements in the marine ecosystem.

Working in partnership with Mother Nature is always the better bet.

Well this is cool. Apparently @rivianofficial.bsky.social is working with the Social Library in Plymouth Michigan, to make bookmobiles from their deliver vans.

Wouldn’t it be cool if #Rivian partnered with #DollyParton to deliver books around the country?

Quantum tunnelling — when a particle skips through a barrier that classical physics would forbid — happens faster when objects have less energy, find physicists who worked out a way to probe photons during the process.

The game utilizes data generated by the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research, and users manipulate a section of a brain scan to manually connect retinal neurons links.

So far, 350,000 players have verifiably traced the connective paths of of 6,000 neurons.

Forgot to mention (you can’t really see it in that render), but that apartment design also had a green roof.

In addition to providing insulation, green roofs collect rainwater.

Why is this important?

Yeah, you’re gonna need this.

Especially in places like Arizona or Saudi Arabia, where thanks to #ClimateChange within the next 20 yrs, it will literally become too hot to walk outside without dying because you won’t be able to sweat fast enough before having a heat stroke.🥵
