It turns out there’s a huge supply of water 400 miles underground stored in rock known as 'ringwoodite'. Scientists previously discovered that water is stored inside mantle rock in a sponge-like state, which isn’t a liquid, solid or a gas, but instead a fourth state. The scientific paper titled ‘Dehydration melting at the top of the lower mantle’ was published in 2014 and laid out the findings.” [// Indy100 »]( [/health] [Mit45 - Never heard of kratom?

This experiment, recognized by the Guinness Record as the world’s most extended experiment, has been running for almost a hundred years with very gradual changes that scientists and the public are observing. … This longevity makes the investigation dynamic and exciting and reveals relatively unknown realms of material science.” [// ECONews »]( [/science] [Revolutionizing recycling: New technique turns plastic waste into wealth | SciTechDaily]( [Revolutionizing recycling: New technique turns plastic waste into wealth]( “Each year, hundreds of millions of tons of plastic waste are produced globally. In response, scientists are diligently developing innovative methods to recycle a significant portion of this waste into high-quality products, aiming to create a truly circular economy. However, current recycling practices fall short of this goal. Most plastic waste is recycled mechanically: shredded and then melted down. Although this process does result in new plastic products, their quality deteriorates with each recycling step. An alternative to this is chemical recycling, which avoids loss of quality. This method involves breaking down long-chain plastic molecules (polymers) into their fundamental building blocks (monomers), which can be reassembled into new, high-quality plastics, creating a truly sustainable cycle.” [// SciTechDaily »]( [/gear] [StackSocial -Small phones are making a big comeback | [Partner] ]( [Small phones are making a big comeback]( First the goal was to make phones portable and smaller. Then, we started making them bigger again. In a world of plus-sized and foldable smartphones, NanoPhone brings cellphones back to exactly what they were designed for: simplicity and portability. It has 4G connectivity, video chats, and even social media apps — all in a credit-card-sized device. For just $100, it’s making us think that bigger doesn’t always mean better.

The monkeys use specific calls, known as ‘phee-calls,’ to call each other, which scientists say is a ‘high cognitive’ behavior pattern only previously observed in humans, dolphins, and elephants.” [// CNN »]( [/bites] [// Why are you still wasting your time with tedious tasks?
