There are approximately 20 million tons of gold dissolved in Earth's oceans, worth around $2 quadrillion, but extracting it remains a significant technological and financial challenge, with current efforts focusing on industrial waste recovery and future possibilities including space mining.
Boyd Holbrook has been cast as team leader David Ibarra in Netflix's upcoming 8-episode series 'Extraction', starring Omar Sy, which expands the successful 'Extraction' film franchise into a TV format. The series, helmed by Glen Mazzara and produced by the Russo brothers' AGBO, follows a mercenary on a dangerous mission in Libya, exploring themes of trauma and moral conflict.
A study published in Scientific Reports explores how different roasting levels affect caffeine content and extraction yield in coffee. Led by Dr. Zachary R. Lindsey, the research found that light and medium roasts generally have higher caffeine content than dark roasts due to caffeine loss during roasting. The study used Ethiopian coffee and the AeroPress brewing method to analyze 30 unique combinations of roast and brew times. The findings challenge previous assumptions about caffeine stability during roasting and suggest that medium roasts offer the highest caffeine content.
Navy personnel and a private contracting firm successfully removed a P-8A Poseidon plane from the waters of Kaneohe Bay with the assistance of inflatable salvage roller bags and a hydraulic cable puller. Boaters in the area shared the nearby waters during the operation.
NASA is facing difficulties in opening the canister containing the asteroid sample collected by the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft. While scientists have managed to collect rock and dust from outside the canister, the bulk of the sample remains stuck inside. The team at NASA's Johnson Space Center has been struggling to open the sampler head, where the majority of the sample is located. They are working on developing new approaches to extract the material while ensuring its safety and integrity. Despite the challenges, the mission has already exceeded its goal of collecting 60 grams of debris, recovering 70.3 grams of rocks and dust.
Halo Infinite Season 5, launching on October 17, brings significant changes to the ranked playlists, including the introduction of the Bandit Evo as the new starting weapon. The Bandit Evo has improved range, reduced bloom and recoil, and a decreased rate of fire, making it a more balanced and reliable utility weapon. The Extraction game mode from Halo 4 makes its return, where teams must plant and defend an extraction device to score points. Additionally, a new 4v4 map called Forbidden is introduced for ranked play, featuring a symmetrical layout and a S7 Sniper power weapon. The HCS Year 3 will begin in 2024, leading up to the Halo World Championship with a $1 million prize pool.
Rare earth elements, such as neodymium, are highly sought after by the tech and energy industries due to their useful properties. While they are not actually rare in terms of abundance, they are difficult to extract from their natural sources. The chemistry of these elements prevents them from collecting together in concentrated deposits, making mining inefficient. Additionally, the extraction process is complex and requires intense energy, aggressive conditions, and high temperatures to break down the strong bonds holding the ores together. Researchers are exploring recycling methods and alternative compounds to reduce reliance on these elusive metals, but for now, there is no substitute as demand continues to rise.
Chris Hemsworth celebrated the success of both Extraction movies, which took the top two spots on Netflix's trending list in the US. The actor posted a humorous photo on Instagram to commemorate the occasion. Hemsworth performed a high number of stunts in Extraction 2, which has received critical acclaim for its action sequences. The franchise will expand with a third movie.
Chris Hemsworth celebrated the success of both Extraction movies, which took the top two spots on Netflix's trending list in the US. The actor posted a humorous photo on Instagram to commemorate the occasion. Hemsworth's wife, Elsa Pataky, also had a No. 1 movie on the platform last year. Extraction 2 is receiving positive buzz, and a third movie in the franchise has been confirmed. The action-packed films showcase Hemsworth's stunt work and technical complexity.
During Netflix's Tudum Day, Chris Hemsworth and Extraction 1 & 2 director Sam Hargrave announced that a third Extraction movie is already in the works, despite the second movie having just been released. The movie series follows Hemsworth's character, Tyler Rake, a black-market mercenary who rescues people for a hefty paycheck. No details have been revealed yet about the plot or release date of the third movie.
Chris Hemsworth and director Sam Hargrave announced at Netflix's Tudum event that a third installment of the hit action franchise "Extraction" is in the works. The first two films follow black ops mercenary Tyler Rake, played by Hemsworth, on dangerous missions. "Extraction 2" premiered in June 2021 and was produced by Hemsworth, Hargrave, and the Russo Brothers. The franchise's first film was the most-watched original film premiere in Netflix's history, and both films are currently available to stream on the platform.
Scientists from the University of Huddersfield have used a mathematical model to understand the origin of uneven extraction in espresso brewing, which leads to weaker coffee when using finely ground beans. The researchers found that uneven extraction persists across different parts of the coffee bed, impacting the taste of the coffee. By understanding and preventing uneven extraction, it may be possible to improve coffee brewing and achieve financial savings through more efficient coffee usage.
Researchers from the University of Huddersfield have used a mathematical model to explore the role of uneven coffee extraction in producing weaker espresso. They found that more finely ground coffee beans brew a weaker espresso due to uneven extraction, which becomes more pronounced when coffee is ground more finely. The researchers split the coffee into two regions to examine whether uneven flow makes weaker espresso. They found that the taste of the coffee depends on the level of extraction, and understanding the origin of uneven extraction could enable better brews and substantial financial savings by using coffee more efficiently.
