This is the problem with France

France it seems is always at the cutting edge of technology and science. They always seem to be the first to implement something new and creative, however they implement things in the most ridiculous of ways.

Recent example: France is now home to the first CCS, or carbon capture system. The CCS captures carbon from power plants and stores it as pure CO2. France is now helping the environment by cutting carbon emissions drastically, but what are they going to do with all this CO2 they have now? They are going to bury it. Thats right, bury it in the ground. They plan to put it in depleted natural gas wells. Now I hate to be the one to say it, but that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

It's pure CO2, in large quantities. CO2 is plant food. CO2 is a desired component of many spray cans and other pressurized systems. CO2 is useful. The french want to bury it.

Ignoring the fact that they want to disregard the creation of a brand new high quantity resource, they are still being very dumb about this. If one of the gas wells they are impregnating with CO2 is effected by a seismic shift of some kind and the gas is disrupted a poisonous cloud will erupt from the ground, and here's the best part, it will be silent, colorless and odorless, but still cause people to suffocate as it sweeps across the landscape.

I recommend that the gas be used to feed plants in sealed greenhouses which will in turn grow larger and faster than normal plants. Higher levels of CO2 boost plant growth and with proper regulation this could provide the extra resource needed to make vertical farming a very real possibility.

The french need to get a handle on this stuff. I mean really. Come on.

This Just In...

MIT researchers have developed a virus that can self assemble into anode and cathode arrays. This means that they can make batteries on the molecular level. This means that they can use these bacteriophage to make batteries that make the Japanese battery technology look like child's play.

Seriously Check it out.

Here is the original article.

This technology could allow us to make batteries that can conform to the shape of their containers.

America is on the cusp of awesome here. Come on people! We can do it!

Optimizing Primes

So it turns out that some physicists and mathematicians got together and had a few drinks. They talked about what they where working on realized something awesome. The mathematicians were working on proving an equation to predict prime numbers. The physicists were working on a way to predict quantum states of energy. It just so happened that they were working on the same things. The equations line up and in the near future there will be a proof for predicting prime numbers which will allow the field of mathematics to jump forward in huge ways. The cooler thing for me though was if they can get the equation panned out properly they will be able to predict stable quantum states of energy which seems lame until you realize that you could predict the periodicity of the next stable high density element. With that information we could use a particle accelerator to crate stable high density elements that are not radioactive. Although it is true that these elements would be few and far between as prime numbers occur about every n numbers in a10^n set (so about every 9 numbers is prime in a 10^9 set; there is an adjustment factor for this as well) it still means that we could make super high density elements that could revolutionize the material science industry.

Science is just awesome.
