Still, as Bakken walks through the waves of waste, he gestures to the half-built beginnings of the project: eleven concrete cells that will each contain up to 12,000 cubic meters (15,695 cubic yards) of organic waste. (The landfill will employ the scavengers who now roam the garbage heaps to pick out inorganic waste, which doesn't produce biogas.) Once waste is packed inside the airtight cells, anaerobic digestion by bacteria will generate gases that will be pumped...
...particles are often several time larger than the devices that nanoscientists create, and temperature difference of a fraction of a degree can decrease the precision of an imaging device, LISE’s heavily-filtered 10,000-square foot cleanroom has less than 1,000 particles of dust per cubic foot. A typical urban environment has millions of particles per cubic foot...
...director was in Berlin attempting to buy a large swath of land on a hill known as Teufelsberg, or "Devil's Mountain," on the city's outskirts.
