An additional instrument onboard the rover has now confirmed the presence of Sulphur (S) in the region, providing a tantalizing clue about the planet's geological history. The Alpha Particle X-ray Spectroscope (APXS), an advanced tool designed to analyze the elemental composition of Martian soil and rocks, has been instrumental in this discovery.

‘We’re changing the clouds.’ An unforeseen test of geoengineering is fueling record ocean warmth | Science | AAAS

Pollution from ships was keeping oceans cooler. A global regulation to clean it up decreased cloud formation. The effect can be reinstated through salt injection.

What a difference a few weeks makes. When I first saw this at the beginning of June it was quite small. It has grown significantly since then. We can now see all the different layers. It is a really stunning yellow.

Mysterious on exposed to tryptic soy broth: The plot thickens! 💎🦴

Elemental composition analysis using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (/#EDS) picks up , (), but only occasionally! 🧪🔍

The crystals turn out to be calcium sulphate, with uncanny resemblance to the crystal habit of α-calcium sulphate hemihydrate!!!!! 🔬

I woke up with a thought in my head concerning grandad's medicine.

Fo those who don't know me that well, I inherited my grandad's notebooks from the 1930's and I discovered he was interested in too.
He built several odd apparati and documented many chemical experiments- most pretty mundane.

His last project before he passed in the early nineties, after a long career in industrial chemistry, was a topical medicine to treat HIV.

He tried to sell the formula to drug companies, but because he did his own clinical trials they took a pass. (Yes, he found volunteers to try it). His descriptive materials were also -obtuse. At best.

I believe this substance has far wider ranging properties and uses than he let on.
I made some last summer. It to high hell.

Anyway, I woke with the answer to a problem that's been vexing me and puts this medicine firmly back into .

I now know which components are represented symbolically by , and . Therefore, I also know their proportions.

I can apply these numerical proportions to other aspects of . This could be huge.

Praise the Eyes of Ra for opening my up my vision!

Very proud to announce my 3rd edition of "Sulfur - History, Technology, Applications & Industry" is now available for pre-orders. Added a section "Climate Change will Cause Sulfur Change."
