@JoJoFromJerz @mtgreenee The mass of a fart is *roughly* 40g/mol (mostly CO2, a tiny bit of H2S and CH4 - those make it smell). The mass of a single COVID particle (virion) is *roughly* 40,000,000g/mol, about 125nm in diameter. This is why N95 masks work, yet you can still smell a fart.

Total banger of a thread, folks!!! I loooooove supercritical CO₂!! Fun fact: scCO₂ ≠ CO₂ because the “2” is wrong. It’s scCOₓ, where x ≥ 2 in extremely crazy molecular dynamics. This occurs at 85bar pressure but only 34°C!

True story: in grad school, I rewired the entire breaker box in one of the NMR labs so we could add 3 MAS NMR amplifiers ($100k of equipment) - 3-phase 208. We got an estimate that it would take maintenance 11 months to do it. My awesome colleague, Nicole, and I did it in 2 days.

@BrianRoemmele Aluminum oxide (Al2O3) has a Moh’s of 9, Brian. I’d bet anything they used raw latex with hemp paper and bauxite or kaolinite as the abrasive. Then, cured and sun dried and cured again. Kaolinite can be found in many places, like Yemen.

@Mining_Atoms @ChairmanAl @thiesbeckers There’s no waste, because 100% of the partially spent nuclear fuel (PSNF) can be recycled - all of it. As Randall just indicated, beta batteries should be deployed EVERYWHERE there’s a need for remote ops.

Pro tip: if you ever even CONSIDER filing a patent without an attorney, you have a fool for a client (yourself). Patent law is NOT science; the science is merely the kernel. I loathe this process, but the sooner you understand this, the better off you will be.

@isaboemeke 96% of all alpha radiation damage comes from Coulombic forces and not the ballistics!!! So, your DNA gets ionized because you have a +2 charge sailing past it, not into it.

Fact check = 100% #truth & exhaustively proven over the decades. We wrote about it in our book! Fun fact: Muller used >1,000,000x the fatal radiation dosage to “prove” his point. This was *before* we knew about mitosis, meiosis, PMAT, S-phase, pX3 repair pathways!
