Write, Write, Write!

The deadline for the 2024 anthology is just about two weeks away, which is not too late to submit a story to the proof team! Here are a few tips about participating in the anthology: Stories can be as short as 1,000 words The link to the theme can be tangential - it doesn't have to hit us over the head. So, keep that in mind if the theme isn't speaking to you. Participating in the anthology is a great way to get new readers. A lot of people read all the anthology stories, so i- 1 comment

Photosynthesis is the key to plant's respiration and nutrition cycle. Key to the process or chloroplasts in the cells which use chlorophyll to transform water and CO2 into sugars. One of the persistent questions for sci-fi world-builders is does chlorophyll have to be green? The answer to that question is tricky, and it might to be linked to the spectral class of the star that they evolve under. Every star's output is unique. It is no surprise that our G class Sun evolved green chlorophyll -
I am not one to comment on rumors , but scuttlebutt has it that George Hamilton was bitten by a Triffid when he was a child. More often than not, children ask the right questions, here is a fine example and the answer is just what we needed: Why do trees need sunlight? An environmental scientist explains photosynthesis -
George Hamilton, actor and tan fanatic, secretly thrives on photosynthesis alone. This is merely a rumor. -
From the German photosynthese.

What's hard for most people to grok about thermodynamics, or the way heat behaves, is that in every system, heat tries to achieve equilibrium. It sounds like a simple concept, but it is the ball-buster of physics students the world over. Consider the case of running water into a bathtub on a cold morning. The water in the pipes is cold until the hot water from the water heater makes it to the faucet. Depending on how far away it is, the first gallon or two is cold and then the hot, steamy w -

Thermodynamic efficiency aside, nuclear is still king. More reliable and deliver maximum power 92% of the time. One nuclear plant replaces almost two coal/gas plants and three to four renewable plants with equal generation capacity.

I have been trying to comment here since the disruption, without success. This has given me time to read all the other comments. It is embarrassing, but I will post it anyways. Entry posted by Myr in Word of the Day 13 hours ago The process was analyzed thermodynamically to ensure efficiency. ............ It must of been a very heated exchange. (at the time it seemed quite humorous to me, now, in reflection maybe a just a little bit funny? )

Nuclear energy generation heavily relies on thermodynamics, as the process of converting the heat produced by nuclear fission into usable electricity is governed by the laws of thermodynamics, particularly the second law which limits the efficiency of the energy conversion process within a nuclear power plant.
