    Absolutely not. H2 gives 5.6 MJ/L @ 700 psi, which is too weak compared to diesel which gives 35.8 MJ/L @ 1 atm. Also, compressed H2 is considerably more difficult to work with tha…

    Have they made a cheap device entirely out of sustainable materials? No. The photoactive GaAs/InGaP would be extremely expensive to fabricate. Have they tested it for commercially …

    DNA mutates spontaneously from background radiation and mutagens present in the cytoplasm (oxygen is even one!) and etc. This isn't normally a problem because the rate at which thi…
