Humans are blitzkrieging the troposphere. Nothing could hope to evolve fast enough except fungi and bacteria I guess

It should be spelt "losslessness". "lossless" is an adjective and when you add "-ness" to an adjective it becomes a noun.

I prefer PNG because it losslessly compresses raster images.

I prefer PNG because it uses a lossless algorithm.

I prefer PNG because I love losslessness.

crop off the nobody part

This research was focused on the lithium battery anode. Ideally we could just put a chunk of lithium in there but the stripping and deposition chemistry doesn't work well long term. Modern batteries use graphite instead. But of course you waste a significant amount of cell volume and weight with all of that carbon, and the potential is lower than Li metal. Alloying Li with silicon gets you properties more similar to Li.

So this paper talks about their efforts to make LiSi more viable as an anode. They gave it a coating to protect it from electrolyte side reactions and created a new gel electrolyte formation reaction. The capacity they report isn't remarkably higher than what's out there now since the cathode is the heaviest part of the cell.

As to the results I do have to say 60% capacity retention after 200 cycles is not nearly good enough for real world use. And I have no clue where they got the "1000 mile range" headline from.

It would be less of a problem. But most of the media I consume is younger than that, and yet it is still at risk of going away at any moment. Nobody wants to even sell digital copies, except for the ones on CD, DVD, etc. Most of the time your only option is a "license" to access it, or a monthly subscription. A couple of years ago I "bought" the new Blade Runner on Google Play. Turns out now you can only watch above 480p on their approved devices. Which does not include my PC, my main device. The same goes for the streaming services, you get shafted on quality if you aren't using a "smart" tv.

this is such a horrible take. It's not the place for "what about" comments

CDs are optical storage, just plastic with tiny bumps. It's magnetic and solid state storage that can have bit flipping.
