Is ammonia as fuel too dangerous?
There are a lot of papers advocating for a switch away from fossil fuels, and even H2 fuel cells, to ammonia based propulsion in transport. It can be used in combustion engines but there's a risk of NOx production. So the greenest option to me is ammonia to H2 conversion or direct ammonia fuel cells. It's got the same advantages of classic H2 fuel cells but without the constraints of cryogenic or pressurized containment of H2. And ammonia has a better energy density. ... read full post

[SciShow 8:15] The Oldest Living Thing was Trapped for 2 Billion Years
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OjmQvio0G8Two billion years ago, an igneous rock in northern South Africa formed. Not long after, some bacteria crawled into cracks in that rock, and got trapped inside when the cracks got plugged up by a bunch of clay. But that bacterial colony didn't die. It just sat around, doing its bacteria thing for billions of years, until scientists cracked that crack open.
