Villagers find a deposit of pure black opal in artisanal tunnels

Villagers find a deposit of pure black opal in artisanal tunnels: Far above northern Ethiopia’s patchwork fields, villagers in Wollo have uncovered a rich, natural black opal deposit almost 9,800 feet above sea level. Their tunnels follow a single opal-bearing clay layer that runs along the highland mountains for many rugged miles. “The Stayish black opal mine, active since 2013, is located in the Wollo province #EarthDotCom #EarthSnap #Earth

Scientists produce methanol at room temperature using a catalyst: Scientists in Japan have created a new metal catalyst that turns carbon dioxide and hydrogen into liquid methanol at room temperature. In early tests the catalyst converts every carbon atom it processes into methanol, avoiding side products that normally waste energy and feedstock.

Scientists create the perfect recipe for making batteries: fast, safe, eternal

Scientists create the perfect recipe for making batteries: fast, safe, eternal: A team in Germany and Hong Kong found a material that keeps solid-state batteries, which are batteries that use solid parts, lasting much longer than they believed was possible. Their database-guided search checked more than 20,000 compounds, then narrowed the list to one clear winner. The work was led by Prof. Dr. Francesco Ciucci at #EarthDotCom #EarthSnap #Earth

Hummingbirds are dramatically evolving in real-time thanks to humans

Hummingbirds are dramatically evolving in real-time thanks to humans: A hummingbird feeder looks simple. It hangs from a porch. It holds sugar water. A tiny hummingbird darts in, drinks with its bill, and zips away. Plenty of people keep feeders up year-round, and millions hang them during summer and spring year after year. That habit raises bigger questions. When humans give wildlife a reliable #EarthDotCom #EarthSnap #Earth

Woman discovers that her blood is genetically male, baffling the scientific community

Woman discovers that her blood is genetically male, baffling the scientific community: Doctors in Brazil found that a 35-year-old woman’s blood carried male chromosomes, even though her body looked entirely female. The mismatch surfaced after a pregnancy loss, when clinicians ordered chromosome testing to look for a genetic clue in blood. Testing across her tissues showed two genetic lineages, pointing to chimerism, two sets of genes living #EarthDotCom #EarthSnap #Earth
