Sure, we previously found all these nucleobases in meteorites like that one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murchison_meteorite

The Rugyu sample is interesting because it basically rules out earth contamination


It's not accurate at all. Measuring accuracy would require some sort of calibration. If this was using some kind of stereographical setup or lidar data to calibrate the inferred depth could probably be calibrated, but this is not the case.

Not to say it's useless, its perfect for subject isolation and it would be very difficult for someone to tell the difference with a scientifically accurate equivalent


The issue is the size of some of these analysers. For instance, a synchrotron, which is required to non-destructively generate nanometer-scale 3d images of the samples are 3-4 times the size of a football stadium


An AFM can get atomic resolution imagery and is not the size of a football stadium.


An AFM is completely useless to identify the chemical elements, protein or crystalline structure inside a sample.


There are tools used in UHV surface science labs for that, in the same head as a AFM/STM.


I bought an old Nissan Leaf last year. They're actually cheaper than gas cars of the same year. This summer, the weather was nice, I was remote working and I decided to get into a park under a canopy on a picnic table. I took a 50ft electric table and plugged my laptop on an inverter in my car.

I realized that my old electric car battery actually has a LOT of electricity in it. My laptop was connected for 9 hours and it used 1% of my car battery. Maybe less. I saw that there is a way to connect my car to my house electric power and use it to run the house heat pump for around 100 hours or more.

Anyway its now obvious to me that electric cars and home solar are a very good combination.
