Global oil inventories are falling at a record pace to compensate for the big supply disruption in the Middle East and they will approach critical levels if the Strait of Hormuz does not reopen. Higher prices for oil and fuel are likely ahead of peak demand this summer as a consequence, the International Energy Agency warned this week in its monthly update.”Rapidly shrinking buffers amid continued disruptions, may herald future price spikes ahead,” the IEA said. The oil market has not felt the full impact of the supply loss thanks to commercial inventories held by the industry, strategic reserves controlled…

“If you’ve got terrible ordinances in your township, and you add in bad zoning, guess what? You get a hyperscale data center,” she said. The surge in data center projects in Pennsylvania has been driven by tax breaks for developers, as allowed by a 2021 law that lawmakers should repeal, said Republican state Rep. Jamie Walsh, who spoke at the town hall event. In Virginia, the state with the most data centers, developers have to pay a sales and use tax, but Pennsylvania doesn’t require that, he said. “That has made Pennsylvania a target. In Virginia, they have to pay…

A shot of a shingles vaccine blocks reactivation, potentially preventing the virus from triggering brain inflammation that could contribute to the development of dementia. Conversely, there’s some evidence that having shingles may increase the risk of dementia. A possible mechanism But not every vaccine linked to reduced dementia risk comes with such an explanation for how it may protect the brain. For example, the seasonal flu vaccine seems to reduce dementia, but it’s unclear how. Still, in a large retrospective study published last month, researchers again bolstered the link between the seasonal flu shot and lower risks of dementia, this…

The more likely route is the same as that used in quantum cascade lasers. In these systems, electrons tunnel from one location to another with almost the same energy. But in their new location, they quickly lose energy (via an acoustic wave generated by the crystalline material that holds the electrons), which traps them there. This is an actual mechanism based on well-established physics. It does, however, rely on very specific material properties and precise structural engineering. Given that, it’s probably not what would happen in the proposed device, either. If you measure, you get numbers Nevertheless, the company claims…
