Electric vehicle owners may soon be able to fully charge their cars in as little as 10 minutes, thanks to a new design that heats the battery to increase the reaction rate.A current major barrier to the uptake of electric cars is the length of time it takes to charge the battery compared with filling a car with petrol.https://www.newscientist.com/article/2221740-electric-cars-could-charge-in-10-minutes-with-a-new-kind-of-battery/

MIT engineers have created a new way of carbon removal that efficiently removes carbon dioxide from the air. The system can be developed commercially at low cost and has many potential applications. While there are alternative ways to remove carbon dioxide from gas, they typically only work well on carbon dioxide levels significantly higher than atmospheric concentrations and require lengthy chemical processes to ultimately remove the carbon dioxide. www.forbes.com/sites/trevornace/2019/10/30/mit-engineers-develop-battery-that-can-remove-carbon-dioxide-from-air/

"We are on a mission to leave the world cooler, cleaner and fairer than we found it. That’s why we craft biodegradable t-shirts and singlets that make you look and feel great.Made from bamboo, all of our fibers are sustainably grown on plantations owned and run by local communities in Bali and Portugal.Nooboo 100% bamboo basics are 100% biodegradable.
