Is only lust that sparks the fire of sight and sound confirmed desire unknown to me your heart or mind love cannot be; till knowledge signed a name across one's inner core to grow from lust into adore for shallow is the love of most in the not knowing; loves a ghost. 1 Corinthians 6 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? A River Resolute Like a frog that sits on a rock, surrounded by a full on flow. I dont fear so much getting carried away by that which sustains me. Im just waiting for the right time; Im not a leapfrog any more. It was fun when we were kids, but Ive seen too many get swept away. I dont mind waiting; sometimes friends come by. Ill sit on my rock, take in the scenery, paint the big picture. Im my own frog now; Ill know when to jump and how high. http://automutt.deviantart.com/ With the advent of nano-extraction techniques, the extraction of hydrogen from sea water for the use of power generation and fueling of cars is a step closer. NGEN's proposed conversion of coal and gas fired power stations to hydrogen and the supply of hydrogen for cars will revolutionise the worlds energy sector. http://www.foresight.org/ MIT's Belcher uses engineered virus to split water By Christine Peterson, on April 16th, 2010 Angela Belcher and team at MIT have tweaked a bacterial virus to serve as a scaffolding to: attract and bind with molecules of a catalyst (the team used iridium oxide) and a biological pigment (zinc porphyrins). The viruses became wire-like devices that could very efficiently split the oxygen from water molecules. Belcher says that within two years she expects to have a prototype device that can carry out the whole process of splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen, using a self-sustaining and durable system. This is just a very early taste of what we can expect someday from more extensively designed molecular machine systems. -Chris Peterson http://www.foresight.org/nanodot/?p=3868 |
