Carbon nanotube fibers have widespread potential as ultrahigh strength materials, but so far we can't use them to full effect because of slippage https://nanografi.com/blog/carbon-nanotube-fibers/ It turns out we can weld together many nanotubes with microwaves, then they get 2x stronger!

And even though the focus was areas far from human intervention, several variables to do with human impact stood out It turns out we're making it easier for leaves to turn into CO2, which is not fantastic https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adn126...

Good morning!

Greetings Monday chorus!

That was really good for an intro. Funnily enough the tempo of the beat matched up with some of the early rave music I was listening to a little while ago

Ha I'm glad you were into it! "Drug-addled" is another word Mike used to review it

Did you have fun at the beach??

Mostly, the claw grab machine with he seagull plushes was already shut because the money bin was full :(

TRAGIC! They didn't want more money??

I was busy getting blasted by solar radiation 😎

UV we do know more about than ambient spacerays :O

Imagine the mutations after getting hit by those 😵‍💫

Lmao I just submitted a tryouts playlist to wprb last night and this was on it

Woooooo good luck! Then it seems like you're aligned with what I find in our stacks :)

Hell yeah man

I might wanna wait till next year I still wanna procure and get used to some DJ software 🥹

Good morning DJ AskTheQuestion & all

Mornin

Good morning Christine! Welcome :)

Love that Oh hi Danny station ID. DJ Pato (may he rest in peace) used to play that on Monday mornings 🥹

Am I in one of his many once-held slots? What an honor. We were adjacent in some season long ago, I think

Oops, I'm wrong. Pangeo/Pato was on Tuesday mornings from 7 to 10. My brain needs to wake up. ☕️

That Michael Franti & Zap Mama rendition of Poetry Man was really good, btw

Oh pangaeos shows were just delightful

I miss him in the morning so bad

@Christine No judgment in this early morning timeslot! May I wake you up as midly as necessary

@Tyler I know, he had such a knack for making consistent but wildly dynamic shows

Those mic breaks were every bit as entertaining as the music was

I miss Pangaeo/Pato a lot, too. He was unique! These tracks remind me of The World's Fare. Pangaeo lives on...

I'm glad to hear I can carry on the tradition a bit. Some of it literally his library but much my own sensibility. WPRB is always a place where unique playlists thrive

It's why WPRB is the best, imo. 💜 Amadou & Mariam

IMO as well!

I think that was my favorite mic break education of the whole show! Thank you DJ ATQ :)

So glad you liked it! If you'd like more on early planetary formation and geological history of the Earth, I'm all for it!

Thank you, DJ ATQ!

See you all next week!
