Snippet Sunday

The lock on the bathroom door was flimsy, but at least it was a lock. He had called her Elle. The man that was her husband—that must be her husband—had called her Elle. She could still feel his lips on hers, no matter how much she wiped her mouth, and finally, she looked in the mirror. This was the thing: the woman in the mirror wasn't her. This was the other thing: the woman in the mirror wasn't not her. Her afro, with its tight coils she so loved, was gone in place of a perm. Her aquiline nose was now small and snub. Her lips were fuller, her eyes were smaller, and her eyelashes seemed to come naturally curled. Her ears no longer stuck out as much, and neither did her teeth. Despite it all, it was still her face, just—changed. Something was wrong. She did not feel like Elle, and that man did not feel like her husband, and she was not this woman in the mirror. And yet she also remembered that she was Elle, that that man was her husband, and that this was her house. Some part of her said that she loved him, but the only thing she felt was a nauseating fear. Harry, she thought. His name was Harry. He was making breakfast, and she was expected.

A continuation of Paper Thin—I've found I really love this story and so the brainworms got me :)

The premise of this is, essentially, that an aro woman wakes up in a life that's wrong, including things where her features are all wrong, and she's married :D (It is, of course, a horror story.)

Paper-thin solar cell can turn any surface into a power source

MIT researchers developed a scalable fabrication technique to produce ultrathin, flexible, durable, lightweight solar cells that can be stuc

MIT engineers have developed ultralight fabric solar cells that can quickly and easily turn any surface into a power source.

These durable, flexible solar cells, which are much thinner than a human hair, are glued to a strong, lightweight fabric, making them easy to install on a fixed surface. They can provide energy on the go as a wearable power fabric or be transported and rapidly deployed in remote locations for assistance in emergencies. They are one-hundredth the weight of conventional solar panels, generate 18 times more power-per-kilogram, and are made from semiconducting inks using printing processes that can be scaled in the future to large-area manufacturing.

When they tested the device, the MIT researchers found it could generate 730 watts of power per kilogram when freestanding and about 370 watts-per-kilogram if deployed on the high-strength Dyneema fabric, which is about 18 times more power-per-kilogram than conventional solar cells.

They also tested the durability of their devices and found that, even after rolling and unrolling a fabric solar panel more than 500 times, the cells still retained more than 90 percent of their initial power generation capabilities.
