MIT engineers have developed ultralight fabric solar cells that can quickly and easily turn any surface into a power source.
These durable, flexible solar cells, which are much thinner than a human hair, are glued to a strong, lightweight fabric, making them easy to install on a fixed surface. They can provide energy on the go as a wearable power fabric or be transported and rapidly deployed in remote locations for assistance in emergencies. They are one-hundredth the weight of conventional solar panels, generate 18 times more power-per-kilogram, and are made from semiconducting inks using printing processes that can be scaled in the future to large-area manufacturing.
When they tested the device, the MIT researchers found it could generate 730 watts of power per kilogram when freestanding and about 370 watts-per-kilogram if deployed on the high-strength Dyneema fabric, which is about 18 times more power-per-kilogram than conventional solar cells.
They also tested the durability of their devices and found that, even after rolling and unrolling a fabric solar panel more than 500 times, the cells still retained more than 90 percent of their initial power generation capabilities.

Mitsuba: "There were rumors?"
Kou: "Yeah, some people kept saying you died and things like that."
"Oh my god, they just can't shut their mouths for a second." He immediately snickered. "But it got to you, huh? Did you cry? For me?"
"Well, I... just once." Mitsuba didn't need to know.
"Hah, that's pathetic."

Green/Blue — Paper Thin (Feel It)
Tumblr media
Paper Thin by Green/Blue
Green/Blue makes an ominous jangle, pitched somewhere between catchy garage pop and goth-y post-punk. Imagine the Bats having a nightmare or the Wipers on a girl-group jag, and you’re part of the way there. Jay Reatard found a similar sort of unsettling hookiness late in his career, a manic sweetness that teeters on the edge of the void.
The band is co-led by Jim Blaha, whom you might remember from the noise-infused, garage-rocking band The Blind Shake, who backed Michael Yonkers, collaborated with John Reis and made about a dozen albums before calling it quits in the mid-2010s. Annie Sparrows is his co-equal. She fronted the estrogen-powered, pogo-rhythmed Soviettes early in the aughts and formed the Awesome Snakes with Danny Henry (Green/Blue’s drummer) later in the same decade. Hideo Takahashi, who played in Birthday Suits, is the bassist. Green/Blue made a self-titled debut in 2020, a record that worked approximately the same vein as Paper Thin, but seems, in retrospect, to have been a lot more vocal forward and conventionally garage-y. This one feels direr and more desolate, a ghostly echo behind its harmonized, male-female choruses. 
“Move On” is one of the best tracks, with its screaming guitar lines, its plugging, chugging rhythms and its undeniable (yet spectral) melody. It crashes and churns with chaotic mechanical energy, like a locomotive without a driver; a whispery modal melody floats six feet above the fray, like a ghost that’s recently left its body. “In Time,” which follows, is arguably the most Wiper-esque cut, channeling the dogged forward motion of “Youth of America” through similarly apocalyptic landscapes. But truthfully, the title cut also evokes that great and overlooked band, with its taut, sped-up rhythms, its sirening guitars, its epic, raw throated choruses. Paper Thin brings the doomy clangor of, say, FACS, to songs that are immediately hummable, which is not a bad trick at all. 
I mentioned Jay Reatard, and if you miss the last great garage pop star (I do), allow me to direct you to “Again,” with its amped up, whirling dervish punk energy and its near bubblegum melody. It’s been a while since any artist fused lofi pop and punk in quite this way — or made it matter this much. Green/Blue is anything but paper thin.

imagine getting twenty four hours of a fraction of a taste of what marginalized bloggers on this fucking site have been told "doesn't break TOS" for the past 15 years and deciding to openly threaten to just nuke the entire website lmfao
