The mantis shrimp is one tough customer. Beautiful and deadly are two words you don’t typically use to describe shrimp, but the mantis shrimp is definitely in a class of its own; earning a reputation as the ‘savage boxer of the sea’ and one of the most fearsome creatures in the ocean.

Scientists have developed a novel way to recycle toxic waste — extracting gold from old electronics using a byproduct of a staple cuisine in many cultures. Researchers at Switzerland's ETH Zurich announced in a press release that they used "denatured" whey proteins (the watery portion of cheese that separates from curds) to create a sponge to recover gold ions from e-waste.

The unthinkable has happened. Again. A gunman has taken multiple lives. The difference this time? It happened here, in Alameda. We are an island, both physically and psychologically. I spend a lot of time explaining to people that our focus is Alameda, and Alameda alone, so our coverage doesn’t usually include stories as horrific as this one.

It Happened Again. Here.

The new method produces at least 15 times more hydrogen. Neither electricity nor natural gas need to be used, meaning that production is completely sustainable. Hydrogen as an energy source is an important building block for a sustainable economy. Not only do trucks, trains and cars already run on H2 thanks to fuel cells. It is also used in steel production, in the chemical industry and as a storage medium for renewable energy.

No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.
