#OTD in 1683.
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek writes a letter to the Royal Society describing "animalcules", later known as protozoa. It gives the first detailed description of protists and bacteria living in a range of environments, sent by the author in a Dutch letter of the 9 Octob. 1676 concerning little animals by him observed in rain-well-sea & snow water; as also in water wherein pepper had lain infused.

So, while the UK has a growing battery storage sector (which enables renewable energy to be stored & drawn on during peak use), the National Grid's creaking infrastructure is not allowing the use of this resource effectively;
The storage aspect of the green transition is well under way, the distribution & network element, not so much.
As so often, a lack of investment (here both in IT & actual cable routes) means we are missing the full potential of renewables!
The Brazilian military has been involved in a series of controversial episodes that have undermined emergency efforts to tackle the humanitarian crisis in the Yanomami Indigenous Territory.
Reports show it failed (or sabotaged) airspace control and food deliveries to the Indigenous people, who suffer from malnutrition as a result of mercury contamination from illegal mining.
