Hello Thomas,

 

We recently had a breakthrough with a senior client of ours named Paula who increased her bone density Dexa Scan in one year with our OsteoPad that simulates piezoelectric signals from weight bearing exercise and builds cartilage (ref. NASA). While other clients have done so as well, Paula also gave us a short interview now on our YouTube Channel that also includes her story about speeding up African Violet cuttings and healing her bird’s broken toe with our Pads. Seen in the video, the very cute bird surprisingly was drawn to “nesting” on the EM PulsePad, while Paula was using it, repeatedly for ten days in a row until her leg was healed. Our new market breakthrough is now with veterinarians and animal lovers apparently. If you are one of those, please use our 10% discount code PC22 to try your product of choice for 30 days.

 

For those who are into conspiracy theories, Jesse Michels who I have conversed with about his T. T. Brown documentary, has a new video just out on the life of a former Presidential Advisor, Harald Malmgren with compelling historical info including UFO details and cold war secrets https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09KP8XVf5nY with a half million views in only five days.

 

Our Story #1 is pretty astonishing being renewable and free of electricity use. Utilizing smart chemistry, three teenagers found that for remote villages in India, it was possible to deliver vital medical fluids without electrically powered refrigeration, down to 7°C and lower. Facebook updates their progress: “The Thermavault refrigeration unit can keep vaccines cool with a reusable salt solution. The teens who built it plan to test it at 120 hospitals.” The Thermavault website also allows you to subscribe to their newsletter.

 

Story #2 is quite exciting for the field of bioelectronics since it combines sensors and therapeutics. The University of Chicago has developed a flexible circuit to measure skin temperature and humidity but the brilliant addition is the tapioca starch gel coating which includes the S. epidermidis bacteria that naturally lives on the human skin and has healing properties shown to reduce inflammation. Therefore, the inventors under Professor Bozhi Tian envision applications with patches to speed wound healing. Tian has also created “intelligent” artificially grown tissue, such as synthetic blood vessels, with other advancements in photoelectroceuticals and living bioelectronics. His lab website has more info and videos https://tianlab.uchicago.edu/ .

 

Story #3 finds in fact, it would require about 31 hectares of corn ethanol to produce the same amount of energy generated by one hectare of land covered in solar panels. For this study, farmlands close to the grid were chosen and found that almost 400K hectares were in the prime location for a small portion (3 %) of the land conversion to solar electricity production. This small percentage would however, increase the share of solar energy in the US energy mix from 3.9 to 13%. A related “agrisolar” article says just 1% of farmland could provide 20% of US electricity.

 

Story #4 is a recent development from last month by the 14 members of the World Nuclear Association to triple nuclear energy generation including, Amazon, Google, Mega and Dow, among others. The new carbon-free nuclear power plants, particularly small modular reactors (SMRs), are being considered and deployed to power data centers due to their consistent, carbon-free energy and reliability. This is driven by the growing demand for power from the AI and data center sectors, which require 24/7, reliable energy. Westinghouse reports on their website that the AP300 SMR is the most advanced, proven, and readily deployable SMR solution.

 

Story #5 follows up on our March FE eNews story from Fortune magazine about BYD in China producing a car battery that charges in five minutes. Now the latest development for the country that emits the highest amount of planet-warming CO2 in the world (12 gigatonnes in 2023) is the installation of more than 4,000 charging stations across China to support the rollout of BYD EVs  this month with 249 miles of range after a short five minute charging period. Last year, BYD topped Tesla as “the world's bestselling EV maker”. Another electrification link may be helpful for our FE readers: “Once you decide you want an EV, see if you can take advantage of the $7.5k tax credit. Rewiring America has more details on eligibility.

 

Sincerely,

1) Three teens invent a salt-powered refrigerator that doesn't need electricity.

 

Startupedia.com April 2025

 

Some salts have a cooling effect when dissolved in water because when those salts dissolve, the charged atoms, or ions, that make them up break apart. That separation requires energy, which the ions pull from the environment, cooling the water around them. Chaudhary, Ladhania, and Jain searched the internet to make a list of about 150 salts that might work, then narrowed it down to about 20 that seemed most efficient.

 

 

2) “Living Bioelectronics” That Can Sense and Heal Skin

 

Tech Briefs .com 2025

 

Proffesor Bozhi Tian’s lab has been learning how to integrate the world of electronics — rigid, metallic, bulky — with the world of the body — soft, flexible, delicate. In their latest work, they have created a prototype for what they call “living bioelectronics” — a combination of living cells, gel, and electronics that can integrate with living tissue.

 

 

3) New study compares growing corn for energy to solar production.

 

Antrophocene April 2025

 

Solar energy expansion is often viewed as a threat to US food security. And yet roughly 12 million hectares of US farmland—an area the size of New York State—is currently devoted to corn crops that are farmed not for food, but for fuel. In a new PNAS study, researchers ask a provocative question: why not transition some of this corn-for-ethanol farmland to significantly more efficient solar energy production instead? They find that populating just a tiny percentage of that land with solar panels would dramatically increase the US’s solar energy output, while also relieving significant ecological pressures on the land.

 

 

4) Tripling Nuclear Energy Capacity by 2050

 

Fortune March 2025



The deal was announced by the World Nuclear Association in partnership with Urenco at the CERA Week event in Houston this week. Among the signatories include Amazon, Meta, Google, Lloyd's Register and Bureau Veritas.

 

 

5) Automaker stuns industry with new electric car breakthrough

 

The Cooldown.com April 2025

 

The EVs could change the game in the industry, as they can be recharged in the same amount of time as it takes to refill gas-powered vehicles. The company began selling these EVs this month, and they are "capable of providing around 400 kilometers (249 miles) of range in five minutes in tests on its new Han L sedan," as Bloomberg explained.
