Guess how much CO2 a k8s pod produces yearly? Approximately as much as a typical car trip covering 45 kms or 28 miles!

Usually many pods stay on during no-load hours, wasting energy and money. kube-green is a simple k8s addon that automatically shuts down some of your resources when not needed. Provides a pod CO2 calculator which comes handy for planning.

Building An Organic Flow Battery Based On Green Tea

As simple of a concept flow batteries are, the used chemicals can still be somewhat problematic in the context of a school experiment. To this end [Markus Bindhammer] decided to implement a flow ba…

Looks Like Nuclear Fusion Is Picking up Steam

I first read about nuclear fusion in school. I had made a big science report drawing the tokamak design, etc. It still looks some decades away. If successful it will be a big day, a big step forward.

Can We Harness Light Like Nature for a New Era of Green Chemistry

When I read the headline this was a better way to convert solar energy to electricity resulting in better PV cells maybe. I don’t know why I thought that. Photosynthesis is not about that. This is about producing carbanions.
