China develops a process that turns wind turbine blades into graphene with a half-second discharge
Researchers at Tsinghua University developed a process that uses a half-second electrical discharge to convert wind turbine blades into graphene and silicon carbide. The blades are crushed into powder, mixed with carbon black and subjected to Joule heating up to about 2000 degrees. The recovered material, added at 0.3% by weight to epoxy resin, increased tensile stiffness by 27%. The results are from laboratory tests and the challenge is scaling them up.

FireSat, Google's satellite technology to detect wildfires, and Colombia's possible access
FireSat, a project initially driven by Google Research and now managed by the nonprofit Earth Fire Alliance, aims to monitor wildfires with a constellation of about 50 satellites able to identify car-sized fires within 10 to 20 minutes. Four satellites are already in orbit and Google develops the artificial intelligence tools that process the imagery. Colombia could access the data through the early access program for governments.

Sargadelos sees similarities between Nvidia's logo and a design it has sold for over 50 years
Galician porcelain firm Sargadelos says Nvidia's logo resembles its model P, which it has sold for more than fifty years. In a statement including both designs, the company asks the public whether it considers it a copy and says: "Being copied gives us prestige and, deep down, we like it." Sources at Sargadelos confirmed they have not started legal action. In 2021 the firm already urged Dolce&Gabbana to withdraw items with designs similar to its own.
