☆ New research may offer clue in search for rare pink diamonds
  + stars: | 2023-09-19 | by ( Katie Hunt | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
CNN —Pink diamonds are extremely rare and coveted — a now-closed mine in Australia has been the source of 90% of the colored gemstones. The Argyle diamond mine is located in the remote Kimberley region in the far northeast of Western Australia. At Argyle, this process occurred around 1.8 billion years ago when Western Australia and Northern Australia collided, turning the once-colorless diamonds pink hundreds of miles below Earth’s crust. Pink diamonds from the Argyle diamond mine were formed when an ancient supercontinent was breaking up into fragments, according to a new study. This chain of events, according to the study, suggested that the junctures of ancient continents may be important for finding pink diamonds — and may guide exploration for other deposits.

A study found that Australia's tectonic plates stretched, creating large deposits of pink diamonds. Pink diamonds are made under extreme pressure when two continents collide. Turns out, pink diamonds form under even more intense conditions than traditional clear diamonds. Though pink diamonds have been found in Angola and India, Argyle was by far the most prolific site — 90% of the world's pink diamonds came from it. After all, there is financial incentive behind finding a second Argyle — pink diamonds have sold for as much as $71 million dollars, according to Forbes.

Once a child outgrows an infant car seat, a convertible seat is the next step up. Based on our tests, Consumer Reports recommends that parents transition their children to a rear-facing convertible seat by age 1. By contrast, in almost all the rear-facing convertible seats, the head of the dummy avoided contact. Bottom LineMost children will need to move from an infant seat to a convertible seat to remain rear-facing. The Britax ClickTight convertible seats also stand out because they’re almost as easy to install rear-facing as they are to place when forward-facing.
☆ In-wheel motors could be the future of electric cars
  + stars: | 2022-10-26 | by ( Nell Lewis | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +7 min
Mounted in the rim of an electric vehicle’s wheels, the motors increase efficiency by delivering power directly to where it’s needed most. Supercars and pickup trucksElaphe, which was founded in 2006 by Gorazd Lampič and quantum physicist Andrej Detela, has designed in-wheel motors for a range of electric vehicles. In-wheel motors are far more exposed to the elements as well as impacts and vibrations from the road. The report notes that as electric vehicles become more popular, automakers are looking towards in-wheel motors for their space-saving abilities and improved power efficiency. Another major player is Protean Electric, which was acquired by British electric vehicle maker Bedeo in 2021.
