Summary

In a lighthearted piece designed for the enjoyment of tech enthusiasts, Scott Knaster highlights several intriguing developments, including Google's energy efficiency efforts and groundbreaking scientific achievements. Google's energy consumption across its services is compared to a 60-watt light bulb burning for three hours per person monthly, with the company fully offsetting this usage through its carbon offsets program. In a separate scientific breakthrough, researchers at Tufts University have developed the world's smallest known electrical motor, powered by a single molecule of butyl methyl sulphide, with potential applications in creating ultra-small gears. Additionally, recent NASA images reveal evidence of human activity on the moon at Apollo landing sites, featuring preserved lunar rover tracks, astronaut tools, and footprints, while the mythical "Googlunaplex" remains unphotographed. The Fridaygram series aims to entertain by sharing such captivating tidbits that appeal to the curious minds of its audience.
