a couple weeks ago I posted about how bone grows into titanium implants because cells can't find the boundary
turns out there's a catch engineers have been trying to solve for years:
titanium is too stiff (~110 GPa vs spongy bone's 0.02–3.7 GPa)
so the metal takes all the load, and the real bone around it actually weakens because physics says "why maintain structure that isn't carrying stress?" (stress shielding)
enter selective laser melted Zn-1Mg-0.1Sr gyroid scaffolds:
→ mathematically generated TPMS gyroid lattice (70% porous, 550 μm pores)
→ elastic modulus tuned right down to 2.3 GPa so it flexes like real cancellous bone
→ alloying zinc with 1% Mg + 0.1% Sr precipitates Mg2Zn11 & SrZn13 intermetallics, more than doubling strength over pure zinc (33.7 MPa)
→ degrades at 0.36 mm/year with zero hydrogen gas pockets
and the wildest part
as it dissolves, it turns its own surface into calcium-phosphate & zinc-phosphate minerals while feeding Zn2+ and Sr2+ ions that make bone-forming cells grow faster
titanium tricks the skeleton into adopting permanent metal
this thing holds the load, feeds the bone to rebuild itself, and vanishes when the job is done.
radical engineering.
today while talkin to my friend (who’s a doctor) I learned something really crazy
That the titanium implants don't just sit in bone they actually bone grows into them
the oxide layer on titanium surface is chemically close enough to biological tissue that cells can't find the boundary so they erase it
osseointegration isn't the implant holding on it's biology deciding the metal belongs there
the skeleton adopts the foreign object as its own

#holzofengate ist teuer: "Für Kopenhagen nennt der Bericht einen Betrag von 13.175 dänischen Kronen (1.770 Euro): So hoch seien die gesellschaftlichen Kosten, wenn eine Familie in einem modernen Kaminofen einen Holzstapel von zwischen 1,5 und 2 Kubikmetern verheizt." Quelle:

Wenn man die geschwärzten Häuser und mit Rost überzogenen Gärten der Nachbarn dazu nimmt, muss da eine weitere Null an die Zahl dran.
Alles in meinem Gartenhaus war bis 2020 top in Ordnung, sonst hätte es dort nie gelagert. In 2024 war alles schwarz und korrodiert.

In many Russian regions, there are delays in the payment of social benefits and job cuts within the public sector—with the explicit justification that funds are lacking due to the war.
The Ministry of Labor for the Primorye region warned that social benefit payments would be delayed, as regional budgets are under "increased pressure" due to expenditures for the war against Ukraine. In one district of the Irkutsk Oblast, a decision was even made to dismiss more than a third of the local administration's staff.
Previously, in Primorye, spending on medicines had already been reduced and the construction of hospitals postponed—while, at the same time, 1.5 billion rubles were allocated to support participants in the "special military operation."

Man lernt nie aus: Offenbar ist das Lohnniveau in der Slowakei höher als in den USA. Anders ist kaum zu erklären, warum #Audi Q7, Q8 und Q9 aus Bratislava künftig in Georgia bauen will. Mit Deutschland hat das nichts zu tun, die laufen hier gar nicht vom Band.

Last year, #renewables supplied 85.6% of all new global power generation capacity. #Solar capacity grew by 510GW and #wind by 159GW, against just 1.5GW for new #nuclear. That’s a 462:1 ratio.
Put aside capacity, for actual annual electricity generation output, this means last year, new wind and solar supplied 104 times more usable power than new nuclear.

This chart is insane. This shows Russia's casualties over time compared to Russia's territorial gains in Ukraine over the last five years.
No sane or rational person would say continuing the war to try and take more of Ukraine's territory is worth the casualties.

🏭 Fire Point: Why is Ukraine attacking rubber plants, and what is the use of fuel for Iskanders?
In recent days, FP-1 drones have hit three Russian rubber industry enterprises at once: Voronezhsintezkauchuk, Omskkauchuk, and Togliattikauchuk.
The rubber industry produces, in particular, polymers that are used in solid rocket fuel.
One of them is polybutadiene-acrylonitrile. It binds the components of rocket fuel into a single strong charge and at the same time serves as additional fuel. Replacing such a component is not easy - this requires new formulations and testing.
❗️ It is on solid fuel that the engines of the Russian Iskander-M ballistic missiles operate. Strikes on the rubber industry are a blow to the chemical base of Russian rocketry.
In total, there are about 10 large rubber industry enterprises in Russia. As of October 25, six of them have already suffered 11 successful attacks.

Kürzlich fragte ich, wieso die CDU in Berlin unbedingt mit uns Grünen koalieren will, wenn sie uns als Hauptgegner & Spinner bezeichnet.
Antworten ausschließlich: Ja, ihr seid linksradikale Spinner & macht das Land kaputt.
Das, liebe Rechtslumpen, beantwortet die Frage nicht.

Rusia se está preparando para la guerra en Europa, y siguen concediéndoseles visados.
La policía española ha detenido a un exsoldado ruso tras descubrir una red ilegal de tráfico de armas en Cataluña, cerca de la frontera con Francia.
Los investigadores descubrieron un taller oculto en el interior de un almacén alquilado en Figueres, a unos 25 kilómetros de Francia. Las instalaciones contenían 644 armas de fuego, miles de cartuchos, silenciadores y componentes de armas.
Se estima que el valor del arsenal incautado asciende a 5 millones de euros.

Spanish police have arrested a former Russian soldier after discovering an illegal weapons operation in Catalonia, near the French border.
Investigators uncovered a concealed workshop inside a rented warehouse in Figueres, approximately 25 kilometers from France. The facility contained 644 firearms, thousands of rounds of ammunition, silencers and weapons components.
The seized arsenal is estimated to be worth €5 million.

🇮🇩 Imagine having to live with this. Smoke from forest fires, whipped up by strong winds, has filled a hospital in Daha, South Kalimantan, Borneo, Indonesia, today.
People can't even escape the smoke in a hospital. They didn't cause these fires, but they're the ones left breathing in the toxic fumes. How is this acceptable?
