...said that if they are extending a metal hand inside a velvet glove, we won't accept...
...eight-to-10-year life cycle. The battery has to absorb energy from braking and provide short bursts of power for acceleration. Lithium-ion batteries, with their high density-to-weight ratio, provide the greatest acceleration and range with the fewest batteries compared with lead-acid or nickel-metal-hydride batteries. One big problem: they can overheat and even blow up - bad enough in a single-battery laptop but potentially disastrous in a multibattery electric car. So engineers have been busy resolving the heat problem and refining the batteries' ability to handle partial charge-discharge cycles...
...simplistic as the characters’ blatantly symbolic names, and the play’s drama too often feels shallow. For instance, immediately after Mr. Zero reveals his crime to his wife, a solo musical number follows in which he oh-so-metaphorically wails his woes from a metal chain-link metal half-fence, thrashing about like a caged animal. In this nihilistic moment, his life comes undone. By grasping at threads of multiple modern philosophies, any coherent structure to the play is lost...
Using the Keck Telescope in Hawaii, Kirby set out to find evidence of metal-poor stars in dwarf galaxies by scanning the skies using medium-resolution spectroscopy, which allowed him to study many stars but didn’t yield a detail-rich characterization of any one star...
Frebel is back in Chile this week continuing the same line of research, hoping to find even more metal-poor stars in dwarf galaxies...
