This is the most beautiful scientific diagram I've ever seen.

Also a great example of why pink is a tint of red, but also a completely different color. Erbium? Neodymium? So beautiful.

I have temporarily abandoned my spinning bc my friend went to a fiber fest and she met someone who had a custom sterling silver necklace that was a wpi tool and I thought it was the coolest shit ever and also oh hey I can make that and so

The small cutout is 1cm and the larger 1” bc I use both measuring systems. Now I’m off to file and polish for like ten eternities see you later

Researchers in Switzerland found that wastewater and sewage sludge carry tiny traces of precious metals every year. Across the country, they estimated about 43 kg of gold and 3,000 kg of silver in a year. These tiny bits mostly come from industries that use precious metals, like watchmaking, electronics, and gold refining. It sounds like hidden treasure, but in most places the metal is spread out so thinly that recovering it would cost more than it is worth.

Btw, Ai data centres are absolutely LOADED with copper, fun fact, for educational purposes, the electronics and systems in these buildings require a LOT of copper just thought that would be a fun fact people would appreciate.
