Study 1: Researchers at harvard changed regions within mitochondria in humans and mouse cells. Mouse cells produce protein faster through mRNA translation than human cells while embryos develop at different speeds between species. Lazaro et al, 2023, A stem cell zoo uncovers intracellular scaling of developmental tempo across mammals. Cell Stem Cell https://doi.org/10.1016/j.stem.2023.05.014 Study 2: WIth a lot more going on than just ATP production, study suggests mitochondria's role in timing of nervous systems.They discovered Mitochondria is as pacemaker of speed of development in cells Ryohei Iwata et al. ,Mitochondria metabolism sets the species-specific tempo of neuronal development.Science379,eabn4705(2023).DOI:10.1126/science.abn4705

Dive into research, materials and progress of reflective materials to prevent ice melting with Dr. Leslie Field, Founder of Bright Ice and Arctic Ice Project (https://www.arcticiceproject.org/)

Learn about Arctic Ice Project, and Bright Ice a nonprofit that plans to inhibit glacial melting by adding a safe, reflective material to the surface of dirty ice and water to brighten (www.brighticeinitiative.org)

Explore >10um Si microspheres such as 3M™ Glass Bubbles materials, dynamics, lifespan, , and environment savings with potential to mitigate 1.02°C rise and sea ice volume mitigation of about 8% per 1C rise, and with up to 40% increase in lifespan of ice. Even adding 1% of Arctic sea ice is enough to make a significant difference in overall reflectivity.
