Earth Is Choking on 8.3 Billion Metric Tons of Plastic Waste
For the first time, scientists have calculated how much plastic we’ve produced, and its fate. It isn’t pretty. Continue reading Earth Is Choking on 8.3 Billion Metric Tons of Plastic Waste

Electronics That Can Handle The Pressure
Deep-sea exploration is considered as a relatively new area of research and the electronics involved has to be special in order to survive some of the deepest parts of the ocean. Pressure Tolerant Electronics is a new subject and has its own challenges as explained by [Nic Bingham] of the Schmidt Ocean Institute.
[Nic Bingham] was one of the speakers at the Supplyframe office for ‘The Hardware Developers Didactic Galactic’ held April 20th 2017. His talks was based on his experience with ambient-pressure electronics and autonomous solar-diesel power plants at the Antarctic plateau. Due to high pressures at large depths, …read more
