FROM SOLAR PANELS AND EV’S TO ROCKS AND TREES—HOW’S THAT CARBON WAR WORKING OUT FOR YA?
Carbon is…so complicated.
We were told that if only we installed those solar panels and switched from combustion engine cars to EV’s, it would all be sunshine and skittles shitting from unicorns.

GLYCINE REVERSES AGING IN CELLS
Collagen—which provides structural support and strength to your tissues[1,2,3]—accounts for about 30 percent of the total protein in your body. Twenty-eight percent of collagen, in turn, is made up of the amino acid glycine.[4]

IT’S NOT A BRAIN TRANSPLANT, BUT…
As glial cells go, so goes the brain. Glial cells in the brain link neurons together, nourish, clean, and protect them. When glial cells age, sicken, or die, the result can be anything from uncontrollable movements to forgetfulness or mood changes.

ELECTRIC WINDOWS ADJUST TO BLOCK LIGHT OR HEAT
Engineers at North Carolina State University have ended the era of the passive window. Their new version can let light and heat pass through as usual, adjust to block heat but not light, or block some light while letting heat pass through unimpeded.

FLASH! WASTE PLASTIC BECOMES HYDROGEN WITH A SIDE OF GRAPHENE
Scientists at Rice University have come up with a three-fer: a way to eradicate plastic waste by flash-heating it, which releases hydrogen that can be captured for fuel or industrial use and also produces graphene as a byproduct.

NO CONSPIRACY AT ALL: SCIENTISTS WORKING OVERTIME TO GENETICALLY REDESIGN HUMANS AND EVERY OTHER LIVING THING
A report this past week detailed how scientists are now perfecting technology that can deliver mRNA “vaccines” through the air.

3-D PRINTED LIVING BRAIN CELLS SEND AND RECEIVE INFORMATION
Using “bio-inks,” researchers at Australia’s Monash University have 3D-printed living neurons—brain cells—that continue growing in a lab and are able to send and respond to nerve signals.

GOODBYE, GRAY CEMENT. HELLO, GREEN CEMENT.
Making cement—the main ingredient in concrete—is estimated to be responsible for producing 8 percent of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions, at a rate of a ton of CO2 per ton of cement.
