Scanning Batteries Could Lead to Super Batteries

Freedomist Editor June 14, 2023

Researchers from Oxford University published a study in nature that claims to have developed a technique to scan EV batteries at details that will allow scientists to fine-tune material to greatly enhance the capacity to store power, as well as extend the shelf life of the battery at exponential levels. If proven true, the breakthrough could change the whole dynamic for the EV and Electric Aviation industry, both of which are significantly limited compared to their fuel-based counterparts.

From miragenews.com:

In this latest study, the group used an advanced imaging technique called X-ray computed tomography at Diamond Light Source to visualise dendrite failure in unprecedented detail during the charging process. The new imaging study revealed that the initiation and propagation of the dendrite cracks are separate processes, driven by distinct underlying mechanisms. Dendrite cracks initiate when lithium accumulates in sub-surface pores. When the pores become full, further charging of the battery increases the pressure, leading to cracking. In contrast, propagation occurs with lithium only partially filling the crack, through a wedge-opening mechanism which drives the crack open from the rear.

This new understanding points the way forward to overcoming the technological challenges of Li-SSBs. Dominic Melvin said: ‘For instance, while pressure at the lithium anode can be good to avoid gaps developing at the interface with the solid electrolyte on discharge, our results demonstrate that too much pressure can be detrimental, making dendrite propagation and short-circuit on charging more likely.’

The breakthrough could also potentially greatly reduce the current high demand on resources for EV batteries, especially for lithium.

Printing New Blood Vessels is Now Possible

Freedomist Editor June 14, 2023

Thanks to something called Volumetric printing, researchers believe they have developed a 3D printing technique that will allow hospitals to print blood vessels for patients in need.

According to the results of a study conducted by the Regenerative Medical Center Utrecht (RMCU), researchers believe they can now 3D Print fully functional blood cells, Until this breakthrough, researchers could print blood cells, but they were not very structurally sound. The study has created a technique that will hopefully lead to proof-of-concept productions in the near future.

From newswise:

The process starts with the creation of a tubular scaffold using melt electrowriting. This is then submerged into a vial with photoactive gel and placed in the volumetric bioprinter. In principle, the laser of the printer can selectively solidify the gel that sits in, on and/or around the scaffold. “In order to get this right, we had to place the scaffold exactly center in the vial,” first author Gabriël Größbacher says. “Any deviation from the center would mean that the volumetric print would be off-set. But we managed to center it perfectly by printing the scaffold on a mandril that we fitted to the vial.”

In this study, Größbacher and colleagues tested various thicknesses of the scaffold, which resulted in more or less strong tubes. Finally, they also tested various placements of the bioprinted gels. These could either be placed on the inner side of the scaffold, inside the scaffold itself or on the outside of it. By using two differently labeled stem cells, the team was able to print a proof of principle blood vessel with two layers of stem cells, and seeded epithelial cells in the center to cover the lumen of the vessel.

Merck Battles Government Over Price Fixing Law

Freedomist Editor June 14, 2023

The Inflation Reduction Act includes in it a provision that allows the government to set the price of medicine by allowing Medicare to “negotiate” a price with the drug manufactures when it is deems the price too high for “inflationary” reasons.” Merck is suing the government over the provision of the law and it is now working its way through the legal system on a collision course with SCOTUS, who must determine if, for the purpose of controlling inflation, the government can do something it could never legally do before (nor should it ever in the future), be allowed to set the price of markets. Should this precedent be allowed to be set, this writer has little doubt the government will expand its justification of price fixing until it controlled the whole market.

Ireland Plans Bovine Genocide in Fear of Sun

Freedomist Editor June 14, 2023

Ireland hopes a wholesale slaughter of its cattle will somehow save the planet from man-made climate change. The country plans on killing more than 200,000 cattle that are not to be replaced in an effort to cut down on greenhouse gases produces by the flatulating animals.

The move is sure not to have disastrous “unintended” consequences that will trickle down to the small farmer first and the working class person second. The reduction in Ireland’s cattle will also be less taxing on other lands that will no longer have to grow the rich grains these cows are normally fed.

Ireland currently exports 90 percent of its dairy and beef production, meaning the reduction in cattle will reduce in significant losses of revenue gained from exports.

SCOTUS Ruling Could Hand South to DNC?

Freedomist Editor June 14, 2023

According to Cook Political Report analyst Dave Wasserman, the SCOTUS Ruling on Allen V Milligan that upheld the voting rights act, which forced states to create minimal black majority districts, could lead to a solid Democrat majority in the south for decades to come. The analyst said, “The landmark decision in Allen v Milligan could reverberate across the deep south, leading to the creation of new Black-majority, strongly Democratic seats in multiple states. Politically, the ruling could shake up the 2024 battle for the House, send shockwaves beyond Alabama and potentially offset a new gerrymander Republicans are likely to impose in North Carolina. The key states to watch are Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia and South Carolina.”

California Governor Hopes to Arrest DeSantis For Kidnapping

Freedomist Editor June 9, 2023

Anti-Americanist and Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsome has recently threatened to bring kidnapping charges against Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. He hopes to prosecute him for the “crime” of flying illegal aliens to Sacramento, a self-described sanctuary city willing to defy Federal law to enable the continued lawless invasion of our territory thanks to DNC-CCP policies that open our borders and incentive criminal immigration to our country.

An article in Legal Insurrection points out the fact that California’s State Bill 54, signed in 2017 by then-Democrat Governor Jerry Brown, makes the whole state of California a federally defiant state willing to continue to encourage the criminal immigration invasion of American territory. The state is deemed a “Sanctuary State,” meaning criminal immigrants can rest assured that California officials will not follow Federal law that demands criminal immigrants be returned to their country of origin.

House Oversight Committee Pushes Forward Contempt Charges Against FBI Directory

Paul Collier June 8, 2023

The House Oversight Committee has passed a contempt resolution against Christopher Wray, the FBI Director, for his ongoing efforts to protect the Biden administration, the Clintons, the Obamas, and the DNC from criminal charges. The House Oversight Committee Chair, James Comer (R-KY) tweeted, “FBI Director Wray continues to withhold information from Congress in an attempt to protect the Biden family.@GOPoversight has officially filed a resolution to hold Wray in contempt and will hold a hearing tomorrow. The politicization of the FBI must end.

Here is the text for the resolution:

The form of the resolution that the Committee on Oversight and Accountability would recommend to the U.S. House of Representatives for citing Christopher Wray, Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation, for contempt of Congress pursuant to this report is as follows:

Resolved, That Christopher Wray, Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation, shall be found in contempt of Congress for failure to comply with a congressional subpoena.

Resolved, That pursuant to 2 U.S.C. §§ 192 and 194, the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall certify the report of the Committee on Oversight and Accountability, detailing the refusal of Christopher Wray, Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation, to produce documents to the Committee on Oversight and

Accountability as directed by subpoena, to the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, to the end that Director Wray be proceeded against in the manner and form provided by law.

Resolved, That the Speaker of the House is authorized to take all appropriate action to enforce the subpoena.

Comer released a statement that read, “We have been clear that the FBI must produce the unclassified FD-1023 record to the custody of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability. To date, the FBI has refused to comply with our lawfully issued subpoena and even refused to admit the record’s existence up until a week ago. Once Director Wray confirmed the record’s existence, the FBI started their coverup by leaking a false narrative to the media. The case is not closed as the White House, Democrats, and the FBI would have the American people believe. The FBI created this record based on information from a credible informant who has worked with the FBI for over a decade and paid six figures. The informant had first-hand conversations with the foreign national who claimed to have bribed then-Vice President Biden. And now, Attorney General Barr has confirmed that the record was given to the U.S. Attorney in Delaware for the purpose of that investigation. Americans have lost trust in the FBI’s ability to enforce the law impartially and demand answers, transparency, and accountability. The Oversight Committee must follow the facts for the American people and ensure the federal government is held accountable.”

Oregon AG Looking to Create Opportunity to Sue Fox News After Dominion Settlement

Paul Collier June 8, 2023

Oregon’s DNC Activist and Anti-Amerricanist Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum is using Fox News’ surrender on the Dominion lawsuit to execute a new lawfare assault on the once-conservative news network. The move once again confirms the adage that, when it comes to leftists, it never pays to apologize.

Even after surrendering to Dominion and allegedly firing Tucker Carlson to compensate the leftists, they will never quit using “any means necessary” to silence all dissent, even from news organs that are no longer remotely offering any real dissent to the DNC agenda.

Rosenblum claims she is investigating whether the Oregon Public Employees Retirement Fund has grounds to sue Fox News in its capacity as a shareholder of the token opposition network. She boldy proclaimed, “We hope to hold the board accountable and protect the long-term value of Oregon’s investment in Fox Corp.”

The excuse Fox News gave for surrendering to the baseless lawsuit was, accouding to Fox Corp CEO Lachlan Murdoch was “we were going to be in multi-year, prolonged legal battle, which we would ultimately win, but the distraction to the company, the distraction to our growth plans, our management, would have been exrtraordinarily costly, which is why we decided to settle.”

In his statement, he never acknowledged the firing of Tucker Carlson as a condition of that lawsuit, and would probably deny such a claim as it would give Carlson the out he needs to be free from all of the ramifications of his current contract, which limits his ability to be a news voice in the open market.

“Baseless” National Archive Accusation Behind Lawfare Assault on Trump

Freedomist Editor June 8, 2023

The House Republican Conference Chair, Elise Stefanik (R-NY) told Breitbart News that the Top Secret Document investigation of Donald Trump started with a “baseless” archives referral based on DNC officials wanting to see the Top Secret documents around Trump’s communications with North Korean President Kim Jung Il.

Stefanik said of the news, “This bombshell finding is the epitome of the illegal weaponization of federal agencies against President Trump, the leading candidate for President of the United States. The fact is, an unelected bureaucrat at a federal agency egregiously abused their position with a baseless referral causing the unprecedented raid of the residence of a former President, based simply on personal correspondence from President Obama to President Trump and between President Trump and the leader of North Korea.”

California’s Fake News Training for Kids Bill Introduced

Freedomist Editor June 8, 2023

California’s Assembly Bill 873, introduced by Assembly member Marc Merman (D-Menlo Park), would empower the state’s “Instructional Quality Commission” to create a media literacy education program for students from K-12. Since all of the decision makers involved are leftists, it is likely the “education” will involve training children to reject non-authoritative, non-orthodox views as potentially containing any real truth. In other words, all non-leftist “fact claims” are fake news.
