However, that preliminary sample serves a specific purpose: verifying the wine's quality. The initial pour allows you to detect whether the wine has spoiled. Bottles can occasionally deteriorate due to poor storage conditions or defective corks, resulting in what's known as "corked" wine. This flaw

DACLab says it can remove CO2 using less electricity than many competitors

The world’s countries may have pledged to cut its carbon pollution, but with global emissions reaching an all-time high last year they’ve fallen far short. Digging out of that hole is going to require removing carbon straight from the atmosphere. But it comes with a hefty price tag, mostly because of the energy required. Removing one metric ton of CO 2 using direct air capture is expected to require around 2,000 kWh of electricity when the technology is sorted and scaled up. One startup called

Jaguar Smashes Record for the Species’ Longest Recorded Swim, Baffling Scientists

Despite what they say about cats and water, jaguars are powerful swimmers. These predators rarely stray from the rivers and wetlands that permeate their rainforest habitat, and they readily dive in to hunt for prey. Usually, these dips are relatively brief: Until now, the farthest jaguar swim on record was just 656 feet (200 meters).
