Some decades ago, a Kentucky friend proudly brought to dinner a bottle of the first vintage of chardonnay produced from vines planted as part of a coal spoil heap restoration project.

It featured a witch hazel bouquet with lingering notes of hydrogen sulfide.

Not sure you read the chronology- she wrote her dissertation before quantum mechanics was a thing or Heisenberg joined forces with Born & Jordan.

Labeling Payne-Gaposchkin's precocious 1925 dissertation on solar H-alpha spectrography as quantum physics seems problematic, given that quantum mechanics didn't debut until Max Born & Pascual Jordan's

The Administration's rationale may reflect the macroeconomic scale of US student debt.

With millions mortgaging their careers to get $100,000 for often sketchy entry-level college degrees, why shouldn't the Treasury try offset their trillion dollar debt by selling green cards at par with B.A.'s ?

It certainly kick started materials science: the evolution and spread of bronze and iron technology may recapitulate the neolithic discovery that those lived longest in times of conflict who first discovered bone, ivory and jade to be materially stronger than flint, wood, and obsidian.

The first bot to offer a LAN connection to the Gods was created by Alexander the Pseudomant, a priest of Asclepius whom Lucian satirized for splicing a wax face onto his pet snake Glycon, and using ventriloquism to impart to it the oracular voice of Apollo:

"The attorney general is now getting called out by fellow conservatives."

That's an oxymoron on the order of "The Secretary of Health is being called out by his fellow molecular biologists.

Carl , where have you, and for that matter the WSJ, been for the past quarter century?

by any metric, Battery storage capacity has soared , and weight and cost per KWH have gone through the floor.

Solar panel and battery powered drones are flying around the world 24-7 !
