Okay.
Jay?
Okay.
The first one, observing a recent volcanic eruption, scientists discover a potential method for reducing atmospheric methane involving volcanic ash and seawater.
Yeah, on the surface, that one sounds pretty impossible, right?
There'd be so much stuff coming out of a volcano.
So reducing atmospheric methane.
You know, maybe they do something to the volcano beforehand.
Oh, I got volcanic ash and seawater.
Okay, seawater, because there's plenty of that.
Let me think about that.
I'll go to the second one here.
Scientists present a design for pure copper 3D printable coal plates that under modeled conditions could reduce data center cooling energy used to about 1.1% of total energy consumption compared with the 30%.
Yeah, I think with enough metal and with the right engineering that you would be able to... Yeah, that's pretty damn significant.
And then you're saying it's 3D printed.
These cold plates.
That's really cool.
Yeah, that one is actually kind of complicated too.
All right, let me go on to the third one.
In a recent extensive survey of Arctic fish, researchers found the first example of a fish, the snailfish, that is able to use its tail fin for backward propulsion.
