She worked with chemists Hahn & Straßmann in 30s Berlin, investigating whether there were any stable elements beyond uranium. They discovered bombarding nucleus of U-235 with neutrons actually triggered it to fission, or break, into 2 nuclei of roughly half the size & some free neutrons! Hahn’s chemistry lead to startling discovery of barium,🧵<a href="https://spore.social/tags/linocut" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linocut</a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/printmaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#printmaking</a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/sciart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sciart</a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/histsci" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#histsci</a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/womenInSTEM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#womenInSTEM</a> ⁠ <a href="https://spore.social/tags/MastoArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MastoArt</a>

MegatronicThronBanksThe lead-time for Renewables is the reason it kills olde worlde traditionale things like Coal and Fission.You can build wind plants almost tomorrow. Solar is very slightly behind. Storage is a bit slower because the tech is settling-out - but still fast.The lead time on Coal is a decade because of the infrastructure required, and decades plural for Fission because it's like threading a camel train through the eye of a needle.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/power" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#power</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/coal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#coal</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fission" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fission</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/windpower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#windpower</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/solarpower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#solarpower</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/renewables" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#renewables</a>

Macleod SawyerWriting it here for posterity: Hydrogen will be the most common, powerful, universal portable battery systems used in vehicles (all), robotics, warehouses, and industry at-large within the next century (sooner for wide-scale adoption). Unless something similar, more powerful, and safer comes along, that is what our portable electrical needs will be focused on. For wider scale "grid" electricity, it will be modular nuclear (fission, fusion) reactors.
