A new #OpenAccess #Geology article by Youseph Ibrahim and Patrice Rey proposes wide rift-inversion orogens as a new framework for interpreting distributed shortening and muted topography in Proterozoic mountain belts. https://t.co/6zYUHL1TLw #Geoscience #GSAPubs

My appearance on ABC Radio Sydney this morning (2 December 2024) discussing the state of Earth Science in Australian universities. Let's hope we can save Earth Science at the University of Wollongong, who have just closed their community consultations.

Very proud of @sydneyunigeo PhD student, Chris Alfonso, who just published his 1st paper in GSA Bulletin! 👏 This project used spatio-temporal data mining (powered by #pyGPlates + #gplately) and machine learning to help find new porphyry copper deposits.

@bodurofb Cool idea! What would the AI part do thats different to a voice recorder or text-to-speech?

This week, scientists have been STUNNED by the possible discovery of room-temperature superconductivity.

IF it is true, humanity might have passed a HUGE milestone.

The impact will be WAY bigger than the combined impact by ChatGPT, artificial AI and anything else you’ve heard of.

In #science, this discovery is much bigger than any graphene, Li-ion batteries, observation of black holes, and even Higgs boson.

▫️

In a long run, the consequences can be bigger than the outcome of industrial revolution and discovery of nuclear reactions and energy. It will deeply transform the humanity.

▫️

I’m putting a list of things that come to my mind. However, there are many more points in reality. Some changes will be so "core" that we can't even foresee them today.

1⃣ Electric vehicles and levitating high-speed trains will benefit immensely. We will see a drastic increase in energy efficiency. Putting it together with high-efficiency superconducting motors, I wonder - "Gas stations will become obsolete?".

2⃣ Energy Storage and Transmission. First, we will see the emergence of LOSSLESS electrical grids with extremely long distance of electricity transmission. Second, a RT superconducting coil is a “perfect battery”. It can store and release a lot of energy with 100% cycling stability and ulta-slow “self-discharge”. It will change everything, from power grids to space shuttles.

3⃣ Computers!!! We will see the emergence of ultrafast, low-energy-consuming computing devices. Stable quantum computing at RT may become a perfectly feasible thing. Overall, this will revolutionize the ways we build computers and devices.

4⃣ Extraordinary sensors in everyday life. Currently, regular superconducting sensors (e.g. near-IR single-photon detectors, or magnetic field sensors) need very low temperatures and are used in very specific/expensive domains. RT superconductors will bring them to our houses, changing the technologies around us forever.

5⃣ Super-cheap MRI machines for medical diagnostics. MRI relies on superconductors, but they can operate at very low temperatures, making the instruments super-expensive. With RT superconductors, they will become compact and cheap. New era for accessible medical diagnostics!

6⃣ High-efficiency and powerful motors. When conventional electric motors incorporate superconducting materials, it will make them a LOT more efficient. Reduced energy consumption + smaller size will revolutionize the industrial machinery and appliances. I am sure that airplanes with electric propulsion will finally become possible.

7⃣ Nuclear fusion may become viable (and controllable) because superconductors are one of the key ingredient.

As you see, such a discovery will change the world as we know it.

▫️

Now, the key question is - can someone reproduce these results?

As far as I see, many groups have jumped into this topic.

Let’s wait for the outcome!

@fahad_s_ali @ABCReligion @abcnews Insanely low bar for an op-ed. Definitely intentionally inflammatory. Claiming they are "taught to hate" a coloniser while under apartheid is insane. Are we done talking about Jenin? How about the currently unfolding Israeli judicial overhaul? Bizarre work @ABC @ABCReligion

@AlexTamas_AT Awesome stuff! Really cool sandbox models

[Joe يوسف Ibrahim @YousephIbrahim]

@fromtheurgonian I vibe with this, it definitely do be like that sometimes

Just published! Our paper explores how subduction processes are linked to kimberlite eruptions💎
We find that peaks in subduction flux predict pulses of kimberlite eruptions, reconciling African and North American kimberlite populations. @EarthByteGroup
