Study co-led by ICN2 reveals that #ice is a #flexoelectric material meaning it can produce #electricity when unevenly deformed. Published in Nature Physics, this discovery could have major technological implications while also shedding light on natural phenomena such as #lightning. Frozen water is one of the most abundant substances on #Earth. It is found in #glaciers, on #mountain peaks and in #polar ice caps. https://phys.org/news/2025-09-scientists-ice-generates-electricity-bent.html

From someone called Fork Ranger (on that big-tech site that sounds like Flemish children TV).
Fork Ranger: "This changed my perspective of Earth 🤯 The majority of people spend most of their lives in that little grey square.
That is why most people underestimate the amount of space it requires to grow food.
The big problem is that 83% of the farmland is used to produce only 17% of all calories and 38% of protein.
With a few simple switches, we could drastically reduce the amount of land and bring back more nature, while also solving a lot of other problems.
A few notes:
1️⃣ We could reduce the red grasslands by more than half, just by skipping beef and mutton. In this scenario, there would still be beef from dairy cows.
2️⃣ Shifting to a completely plant-based diet would require less cropland, not more.
3️⃣ “But pastures should be counted as nature.”
Perhaps some of it, but definitely not all. In Europe, a lot of grassland is ‘managed grassland’: a monoculture of rye grass and often even boosted with synthetic fertilizer. ..."

Earthen Rainbow 🌈 These are the results from my last terra sig test run—clays collected from hotel parking lots, construction sites, river banks and more. The common soil under our feet contains infinite possibilities that we will probably never exhaust and that most of us will never even begin to explore. We haven’t given the Earth proper attention, appreciation or care yet people want to explore and colonize Mars. #clay#WildClay #nature #pottery#Earth

"So here's the catch. If you have the power of geoengineering to turn Mars into Earth, then you have the power of geoengineering to turn Earth back into Earth."

Conclusion: Musk et.al. like the world as it is, i.e. with children dying by famine and the climate collapsing.

Coronal Loops on the Sun
Solar loops, shaped by the Sun's magnetic field, can envelop #Earth and last days. These prominences, often near sunspots, were captured in hydrogen light by a personal #telescope in Italy. Some may break and influence Earth's space weather.
