The new ultra-thin batteries are flexible and can also be flexed and stretched, at least according to the Swedish researchers who have developed these rechargeable batteries made with fluid electrodes and sustainable materials. In the tests the batteries withstood over five hundred charging cycles, remaining stable in energy delivery even when subjected to significant downturns. The advantages for medical use and for a large number of sectors would be great (but as for artificial intelligence a possible use in robotics is scary). To be noted by changing the subject but remaining on technological issues such as the tariff war, partly removed but then reannounced, it could increase the cost of many consumer products such as computers and smartphones. Some have long claimed to incentivize the market for remanufactured technology products.

The global economy is supported by maritime transport, but according to some for years the ecological footprint of this sector so important for development and international trade has not been evaluated with the right consideration in order to ensure a sustainable future. The latest decisions recently taken by an international maritime organization aim at a reduction in emissions with proposals for limitations from 2028 (which must be definitively approved in October), then by twenty percent by 2030 until they reach zero by 2050, also imposing fines on ships that do not comply with them and a bonus on those who use more environmentally friendly fuels; but the United States did not adhere to the agreement, advising other countries in practice to boycott it. To be noted; in addition, that there are several technologies to reduce emissions from ships.

The health emergency in Myanmar would not only be due to the earthquake but to the long period of civil war that has devastated the country with bloody clashes that have weakened, for example, the entire transport system, sometimes it takes hours to move even a few kilometers; in these conditions it is difficult to get medicines and health personnel; then many people live outdoors without shelters and basic necessities and are getting sick and the risk of epidemics increases. As far as the Gaza Strip, it seems that most of the hospitals are closed or difficult to use, others destroyed as well as most of the buildings and the population is forced to survive in a very small area with little food and water, without medicines and very harsh living conditions; international humanitarian organizations speak in figurative terms of a kind of extermination camp.

A new challenge regarding energy security and CO2 emission targets derives from the large energy consumption due to the use of applications supported by artificial intelligence and especially the generative one that requires colossal computational capabilities to process the information stored in gigantic archives, at least according to experts that warn that energy demand could double by 2030. The United States, Europe and China currently account for about eighty-five percent of requests to data centers whose energy demands have grown by twelve percent every year for the past five years. A well-known American computer company is allegedly using energy from new nuclear reactors installed on Three Mile Island where a serious accident occurred in 1979 with a core meltdown and radioactive contamination.

The average temperatures monitored in Europe would have reached a new record and also a significant margin and this has caused extreme weather phenomena such as very intense rainfall in some areas and prolonged drought in others. Globally it seems that the month of March is in second place in the ranking, but these are still truly alarming data with a long series of months always above one and a half degrees of global average warming since humanity began to burn huge quantities of coal and other fossil fuels with the industrial era. Already 2023 was the first to be above one and a half degrees and this upward push in temperatures pushes into 2024 probably destined to reach a new record, despite the theoretically rebalancing influence of the cooler global current "la Nina".

Many epidemic outbreaks of measles are possible in countries where the percentage of immunization is low, at least according to the opinion of experts who have made a list of states where there are many infections: Yemen, Pakistan, India, Thailand, Ethiopia, Romania, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Kyrgyzstan and Vietnam; then, for example, in areas of Canada such as Ontario, the number of monitored cases is so high (over six hundred) that the health authorities of the New York State Department in the United States warn travelers to take precautions by getting vaccinated before visiting Ontario or areas where there are numerous infections. Measles is a serious disease and does not always mean simply scratching a little and can cause pneumonia and even hospitalization and death of the patient; in addition, it must be borne in mind that measles is a very contagious virus, are talking about ninety percent of possibity for a person not vaccinated exposed to an infected person.

The rain that fell on some areas affected by the strong earthquake in Myanmar could hinder relief efforts and increase the risk of disease, at least according to international organizations that warn that more tents and shelters for the homeless are needed. In the meantime, the death toll has risen to over three thousand four hundred and four thousand six hundred injured. The combination of rainfall and extreme heat could cause serious diseases such as cholera among survivors forced to live outdoors, then there is talk of queues for water and difficulty in obtaining basic necessities. Changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic themes that texts generated with artificial intelligence apparently support the false arguments of people who deny that climate change is due to emissions from human activities.

Calculations made on the new data obtained from a telescope announce that there could be a percentage of about four percent that a large asteroid could impact the Moon; therefore maybe not the Earth as previously thought, albeit with a low percentage (about one percent). The size of the asteroid is now estimated to be between fifty-three and sixty-seven meters, therefore larger than the threshold of fifty that activates planetary defense plans that provide for the development of one or more deflection missions; some say that it should already start now. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that according to weather forecasts a drop in temperatures is expected in many European countries due to a cold air front from Finland, particularly affected the Balkans with a drop perhaps greater than ten Celsius degrees.

Getting vaccinated against the varicella-zoster virus (shingles or so-called "St. Anthony's Fire") could get dementia minus twenty percent, at least according to a study still in the early stages that would have found greater effectiveness in women, but researchers warn to remain above all socially and intellectually active as well as controlling blood pressure and for diabetics to control high blood sugar values that would always be linked to cognitive decline. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on health issues that often the diseases caused by fungi are becoming more and more resistant to available medicines and this can lead to serious consequences and even to the death for example of patients affected by mucormycosis, is talk about climate change that favors the proliferation of fungi and how we try to find a solution in these cases.

Livestock farms with thousands of animals would have been flooded in the west of Queensland in Australia, it is a very large area of five hundred thousand square kilometers (figuratively comparable to France) sparsely populated but with many farms and some argue that it is a truly remarkable disaster at least analyzing the preliminary number of animals victims of this extreme event linked to climate change. There is talk of over one hundred thousand cows, sheep, goats and horses that have been overwhelmed by the floods and missing, most likely they drowned; while helicopters are used to identify any herds of animals that have fled far away to save themselves, difficult to monitor the situation also because a very long road is flooded and unusable, then the properties very far from each other are isolated.
