Depends on the conditions, I’d say. If you have an area that has low oxygen and high saline concentration, one could potentially preserve large parts of the carcass. A big challenge though is the substances brought by the carcass itself, like enzymes and bacteria that are not directly exposed to the oxygen-deficient saline-abundant water, which can thrive and remain active for a long period of time. However, if this carcass sinks to incredible depths, where the pressure is really high, temperature is a constant 4 degrees, very low concentration of scavengers or thriving organisms, and potentially sinks a bit into the sediment for a long time, you’ll essentially get

As biber@feddit.org pointed out, this 1000-fold increase is compared to barium titanate by itself, not to standard silicium solutions. However, it’s still worth pointing out:
Panels made with this technology could be much more efficient and require less space than current silicon-based solar cells,

The material is also simpler to manufacture and more durable, as it does not require special packaging. - Comment on Lemmy.zip 2nd Birthday Giveaway! 🍰 2 weeks ago:
