Trees are good for the earth. But gases emitted by some trees, like poplars, can react with tailpipe emissions, harm human health and contribute to global warming.

If you want to read about anything interesting this weekend, then please let it be the concept of the Water Footprint. What is it? Read it on the website of the Water Footprint Network: https://waterfootprint.org/en/water-footprint/what-is-water-footprint/
Arjen was an amazing man, with whom you could have incredibly energetic and joyful conversations. He was somehow everything in one person. The water professor, the activist, the organiser, the teacher, the inspiration and the action.

Scientists at Purdue University have created the world's fastest-spinning human-made object and the most sensitive torque detector by suspending a nanoparticle in a vacuum with a laser, and then using a second laser to test its torque sensitivity.

In the 1970s, mathematical proof that single neurons couldn’t perform the operation called exclusive OR (XOR) deflated neural net research. Now scientists are finding that the computational power of individual neurons may far exceed what was once imagined. https://quantamagazine.org/neural-dendrites-reveal-their-computational-power-20200114/

Scientists have developed a suction unit that can be used on rough surfaces, no matter how textured, and that has applications in the development of climbing #robots and robotic arms with grasping capabilities.
https://phys.org/news/2020-01-spider-man-style-robotic-graspers-defy-gravity.amp
Researchers Xin Li and Kaige Shi developed a zero-pressure difference (ZPD) method to enhance the development of vacuum suction units. Their method overcame leakage limitations by using a high-speed rotating water ring between the surface and suction cup to maintain the vacuum.
