Spring Fever is a real physical condition which commonly occurs when a sudden warm spell follows a long cold period. When the temperature rises, the body needs to get rid of heat; thus, there’s a dilation of the blood vessels so that blood can be carried to the body surface where heat can be lost quickly. Some people experience an energetic feeling when this change happens, due to the body’s reaction to the great amount of internal work going on.

Scientists have found a more efficient way to suck up CO2 from air — by storing it in baking soda and water. They say that methods of sucking up atmospheric air and filtering out the CO2 can be improved by adding copper to the filter material, potentially opening up the technology to dozens more uses that could produce a meaningful difference in the fight against climate change. The addition of copper also converts the captured CO2 to a harmless baking soda that could be stored in the oceans, or turned into a saleable product. Some scientists say the only way to limit global warming is if we are able to extract some of the CO2 we’ve added to the atmosphere, through carbon capture methods.

What is being called the last-ever gas-powered muscle car from Dodge will definitely be going out with a bang – or more likely, with some squeals, and more than a few speeding tickets. The 2023 Challenger SRT Demon 170 will deliver 1,025 horsepower from its 6.2-liter supercharged V-8, and the automaker says it will be the quickest production car made. Automaker Stellantis (formed in 2021 by combining Fiat Chrysler and France’s PSA Peugeot) says it can go from zero to 60 miles per hour in an arm-hair raising 1.66 seconds, making it faster than even electric supercars from Tesla and Lucid. Stellantis will stop making gas versions of the Dodge Challenger and Charger — and the big Chrysler 300 sedan — by the end of this year, due to new fuel-economy regulations and the shift to electric vehicles.
