Re: Nuclear Diamond Batteries– The future of batteries

Those researchers propose that this 14C gas could be collected and used to produce man-made diamonds by a process known as chemical vapor deposition using low pressure and elevated temperature, noting that this diamond would be a thin sheet and not of the stereotypical diamond cut. The resulting ...

Re: Lightweight wordprocessor : Wordgrinder 0.8 for EasyOs 3.4.6

https://github.com/davidgiven/wordgrinder The pet might not, but sure it could be done without too much problem on any linux, especially if you have one with a good package manager like apt-get. This is a minimalist app so there you go. It was designed to even run in terminal on linux AND windows ...

Simplest way to view epub files
