“Exaggerated attention to the child, excessive concern about caring for and nurturing him – [this has a] harmful influence on his psychic development. The result, already in the first months, is a capricious, restless infant who upsets the whole family.”
– “Your Child from Birth to Puberty: A New Guide for the Young Mother” (Hebrew, 1973)
Swiss scientists have developed a biodegradable battery that can be thrown into the compost after use. The Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (EMPA) used a 3D printer to produce the battery made from carbon, cellulose, glycerin and table salt. Researchers combined all the ingredients into a gelatinous ink that was discharged from the printer into four layers that form the battery. The prototype can store enough energy to run a digital clock for several hours, said EMPA in a press release. It is also robust enough to withstand thousands of charges, storage in freezing temperatures and is described as resistant to pressure and shock. “Best of all, though, when you no longer need it, you could toss it in the compost or simply leave it in nature. After two months, the capacitor will have disintegrated, leaving only a few visible carbon particles,” read the statement. One potential use case for such batteries is to power Internet of Things (IoT) components s

Former President Barack Obama is already in the act, but he expanded his role recently, while the White House press secretary and a Pentagon spokesperson both got peppered with questions this week. What would Jimmy ‘The Schnoz’ Durante think?
