At the moment, these batteries will be available in some really expensive applications, but I guess eventually they will become available in more common products as well. Hopefully, one day solid state batteries will be about as common as current NMC batteries are.

Some interesting details:
”Samsung’s oxide solid-state battery technology boasts an energy density of 500 Wh/kg, nearly double the 270 Wh/kg density of mainstream EV batteries.”
The article doesn’t say what kind of battery chemistry they are using, but at least the gravimetric energy density is impressive.
There’s even website dedicated to tracking those promises. Not many people can claim a prize like that.
Let’s say you read books in the library to develop your writing skills, and then write your own medieval fantasy book. Even if you include magical rings, elves and dwarves, I don’t think anyone will sue you just because your story is clearly inspired by a specific book. The key is to avoid making s word for word copy.
So, apparently this is like the first Li-ion batteries of Sony cameras back in the day. Neat technology, only one company was doing it, but soon everyone else started doing it too. About 10 years later, Li-ion batteries were absolutely everywhere.
“A single charge can store up to 200,000 kWh of electricity, brining the annual discharge to more than 60 million kWh.”
You know, we do have SI prefixes too. They are also free to use.
So, now you need to pay to watch ads. Classy.
My plan is to get some popcorn and binge the next 4 seasons of The Shit Show. The previous 4 seasons were an absolute dumpster fire! The flood of lies and delusions was just incredible. Oh, and the season finale! [chef’s kiss] Never seen anything like that before.
If our current CO2 levels weren’t a problem, CCU would be fine. At the moment we really need CCS instead.
Once we’ve eliminated CO2 emissions and stored all the excess carbon safely underground, that’s when we can start talking about carbon loops.
Quite literally too. Xitter is The Porcelain Throne of the Internet. Before the name change it may have been a bit debatable, but now there’s no doubt.
That is a valid point. Google actually provides plenty of utility while also spying on everyone. However, Meta provides a little bit of something to some individuals, but mostly just a whole bunch of nothing to most people, while still spying on everyone.
One of the most annoying thing are the restaurants that can’t be bothered to make a real website. Instead, they just think that making a FB page is good enough. I’ve even seen some pages that ask me to log in to check the opening hours of that restaurant. Well, what if i don’t even have a FB account? I guess, I’ll just walk to that other restaurant that actually has a proper website.
My argument is that the shift from agrarian to industrial economy is the primary cause. It triggered all the things often cited in these articles, such as education and the cost of having babies. I would argue, that those are only secondary factors affecting birth rates, but not the initial trigger.
