State Post Bureau clarifies that non-degradable mail packaging will be banned by the end of 2025
The State Post Bureau held a regular press conference in the fourth quarter of 2022 to introduce the progress of the “9917” project for the green development of the postal express industry.
As of the end of September, the proportion of the industry-wide procurement and use of standard packaging materials and standardized packaging operations reached 90%, and a total of 9.78 million recyclable express boxes (boxes) have been put in. The green governance of express packaging has achieved preliminary results.
The next step will be to steadily promote the pilot work and accelerate the green transformation of express packaging. One of the key points is to ensure that by the end of 2025, the use of non-degradable plastic packaging bags, plastic tapes, disposable plastic woven bags, etc. will be banned in postal express outlets nationwide.

A few days ago, it was reported that NVIDIA has canceled the mining limit of RTX 30 series graphics cards in the latest 522.25 driver, and graphics cards such as RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3060 have reached the mining speed before the limit.
According to the latest news from PC Mag, an Nvidia spokesperson confirmed that the Lite Hash Rate limiter has been removed, and said that the Lite Hash Rate limiter is not necessary in the current environment.
After testing, under the latest 522.25 driver, the performance of RTX 3090 Ti is improved by 4-5%. This performance improvement is likely related to the removal of the Lite Hash Rate limiter. (Source: IT House)

‘Attosecond’ observes free electron motion at the fastest speed ever
According to a study published in the journal Nature on the 12th, researchers from the University of Michigan in the United States and the University of Regensburg in Germany collaborated to capture electrons within a few hundred attoseconds (1 attosecond = 10-18 seconds). Movement, this is by far the fastest speed.
The electrons were observed to move in attosecond increments, helping to boost processing speeds up to a billion times faster than what is currently possible. The results also provide a “game-changing” tool for the study of many-body physics, enabling the design of new quantum materials with more precisely tailored properties, and the development of new material platforms for future quantum information technologies.

Climate change already affecting tree size, study finds
The researchers found that trees were growing in size due to the effects of carbon dioxide.
Trees are known to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to protect people from some of the worst consequences of climate change. A recent study shows that forests have been storing excess carbon.
If you imagine a tree as a giant cylinder, the extra volume found in this study is basically equivalent to an extra tree ring. While this growth may not be noticeable to the average person, modern vegetation is about 20 to 30 percent larger than the trees of 30 years ago.
The study also showed that even older trees continued to increase their biomass due to rising carbon dioxide levels. (Source: cnBeta)
