Lime’s old e-bike batteries are now powering these Bluetooth speakers
Accessory manufacturer Gomi is launching a limited edition Bluetooth speaker powered by batteries from old Lime e-bikes. In its announcement of the partnership , Lime says Gomi will use 50,000 battery cells from over 1,000 old e-bikes. The result is a Bluetooth speaker priced starting at £99 (around $138) that has 20 hours of battery life and will be available for 30 days as part of a Kickstarter launching later today . It’s an interesting initiative that Lime hopes will further decrease the environmental impact of its shareable e-bikes, which are touted as a way of reducing reliance on cars for short journeys. In the past, other shared micromobility options like e-scooters have been criticized for their short lifespans , with one 2019 report estimating their average lifespan at around four months. Although Lime says the speakers use “damaged” e-bike battery cells from its early-generation e-bikes, they’ve been cleaned and “rigorously tested” before being used in the … [Read more...] about Lime’s old e-bike batteries are now powering these Bluetooth speakers
Lab-grown black hole behaves just like Stephen Hawking said it would
In 1974, Stephen Hawking theorized that the universe's darkest gravitational behemoths, black holes, were not the pitch-black star swallowers astronomers imagined, but they spontaneously emitted light — a phenomenon now dubbed Hawking radiation. The problem is, no astronomer has ever observed Hawking's mysterious radiation, and because it is predicted to be very dim, they may never will. Which is why scientists today are creating their own black holes . Researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology did just that. They created a black hole analog out of a few thousand atoms . They were trying to confirm two of Hawking's most important predictions, that Hawking radiation arises from nothing and that it does not change in intensity over time, meaning it's stationary. "A black hole is supposed to radiate like a black body, which is essentially a warm object that emits a constant infrared radiation ," study co-author Jeff Steinhauer, an associate professor … [Read more...] about Lab-grown black hole behaves just like Stephen Hawking said it would
