Barbara O'Neill - Test for iodine deficiency. No disease can live if your body has iodine. Now, you’re starting to see why they removed iodine from the soil and food? 🤔
@snowthedemonfox made some really cool 17776/portal au designs, and im pretty sure it influenced my dreams to come up with core/turret designs. they have been lovingly called "spider cores" on account of being able to use wires to get around, much like spider silk
In this video, I talk about the myth that surrounds iodine, which has to be one of the most widely spread misconceptions in chemistry. It is often taught in class and even appears in textbooks. I try to explain why this myth came to be and I offer a potential solution. This video took me a really really long time to make, so I hope you guys like it!
So, the scale dropped again this month. That makes 3 months in a row with a drop. The numbers aren't big, but they are IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, at least!
Things I've been doing, or trying to do differently from when the scale was being a bitch and going up include:
Taking iodine supplements for thyroid.
Trying to walk every day I physically can, or at least get in 10k steps, even if not a formal 'walk'
Cut out Heavy Cream for the most part. I was eating too much of it.
I saw this from @little-peril-stories, and figured I might give this a spin! From Iodine:
“Do you think you might want to change your habits?” He asked, fiddling with the stray before comparing it to one in his pocket. “I like your smile, but your teeth—they look a bit like pound cake, if you know what I mean?”
Let's see what you have @lexiklecksi, @andromedaexists, and anybody else who wants to join in!
Transparent conductors are essential for many devices, such as touch screens and solar cells. Copper iodide (CuI) can conduct electricity while staying see-through but is not as good as some other materials. Researchers from the University of Twente managed to improve the conductivity of CuI while keeping 75% of its transparency. By adding a tiny bit of sulfur, their new material moves us one step closer to fully transparent electronic devices.
There are two types of transparent conductors: p-type and n-type. The combination of both types makes it possible to create fully transparent devices. This can include innovations like see-through smartphones and, windows with incorporated translucent solar panels thereby blending aesthetics and functionality. But, so far, the p-types are falling short in terms of conductivity when compared to their n-type counterparts.
That's why researchers are looking for ways to improve the p-type's conductivity. They want to make them as good at conducting electricity as the n-types. The material CuI is a well-known p-type transparent conductor.
