Soaring solar and a surge in hydro push more coal off the US grid
[ad_1] Last year, the first few months of data from the US grid suggested that fears of a data-center-driven surge in demand were becoming a reality. Demand had risen by about 3 percent, triggering a surge in coal, interrupting what had been a long downward trend. But over the course of the year, both trends slowed considerably. A year later, all of that seems to be in the past, as the US has returned to its normal pattern: slow growth, with renewables pushing coal off the grid. The one oddity is that hydroelectric production has surged without a corresponding increase…
Astrocyte Sodium Levels Vary to Match Local Synaptic Needs
[ad_1] Summary: A new study has upended the long-held neurological assumption that sodium concentrations are uniform across the brain’s star-shaped glial cells, or astrocytes. Researchers developed a novel imaging technique to visualize sodium content in real-time within astrocytes and their ultra-fine microscopic processes for the first time.The data reveals that instead of a static baseline, highly specialized sodium micro-domains fluctuate dynamically across individual cells and sub-domains to match the local excitability needs of neighboring neural networks.Key FactsThe Glial Framework: Glial cells, including star-shaped astrocytes, comprise roughly half of the human brain. They dictate brain development, mediate communication between neurons, and…
Lowe’s Promo Codes and Deals: Up to $300 Off Appliances
[ad_1] Lowe’s Home Improvement grew the old-fashioned way, working its way up from a single, small, family-owned North Carolina general store founded in 1921. But the Lowe’s hardware store empire is plenty big these days. A tool-filled Lowe’s superstore is now about as big as a New York City block. The focus stays mostly on appliances and tools for the home DIYer, more than large building contractors. I like to pop in for grill and griddle tools, or just some propane. But you can also buy a pre-finished door complete with the frame—or the lumber, sanders, routers, and saws you’d…
