One should not surrender to incomprehensible matter, one must not just sit down. We are here for this — to make mistakes and to correct ourselves, to stand the blows and hand them out. We must never feel disarmed: nature is immense and complex, but it is not impermeable to the intelligence; we must circle around it, pierce and probe it, look for the opening or make it.

— Primo Levi, The Periodic Table (1975) "Nickel". Raymond Rosenthal, Translator. (Everyman's Library, October 1, 1996)

New Solar Tech Makes Desalinating Seawater Cheaper Than Producing Bottled Water

Engineering teams around the world have been attempting to develop new methods of seawater desalination.

Scientists in China have developed a more efficient form of solar desalination that uses 47.4% less energy than alternatives. After the first year of testing, the scientists believe that at scale it would be able to desalinate water more cheaply than producing bottled water.

The goal is now to scale the technology for use in coastal areas and islands experiencing water insecurity.

You know the part of your life right now that feels most like a cage? Start planning your escape. Do it now. You will never have more of your life left to spend free from that prison than you do right now. Once you get out, the only regret you will have is not having done so sooner.
