Issues when used on small outdoor solar light:
Unlike other 600mAh/1000mAh lower capacity Ni-cd battery, these are 1800mAh higher capacity Ni-MH battery, if used on solar light, even through bright sun all day, but the solar charge current is very low, maybe the output current of the solar panel is only 30mA Max. So, these higher capacity 1800mAh never be full charged for one sunshine day. (but your 600mah could!) Here is the simple calculation:
1800mAh / 30mA = 60h
Because of solar panel is too small to full charge this battery. So the standby time is not normal and that leads these higher capacity batteries die quickly! Except the solar panel is big enough, the output current will be larger. That will full charge a higher capacity rechargeable battery.

Humanity is closer to destroying itself, according to atomic scientists who revealed on Tuesday that the famous “Doomsday Clock” was set to 89 seconds to midnight — the closest it has ever been.
The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, a science-oriented advocacy group, made the announcement Tuesday morning, metaphorically rating how close humankind is to annihilating itself with human-made advancements.
“We set the clock closer to midnight because we do not see positive progress on the global challenges we face including nuclear risk, climate change, biological threats and advances in disruptive technologies,” Daniel Holz, chair of the Bulletin’s Science and Security Board, said.
Trusted news and daily delights, right in your inbox
See for yourself — The Yodel is the go-to source for daily news, entertainment and feel-good stories.
The group of scientists say the war in Ukraine “could become nuclear at any moment” and a wider regional war in the Middle East could “spiral out of control,” while countries with nuclear weapons are increasing their arsenals. They say the global attempts to reduce climate change “remains poor,” as governments aren’t enacting the necessary policies to halt global warming. The development of biotechnology and artificial intelligence “far outpaced policy, regulation and a thorough understanding of their consequences,” Holz said.
“In setting the clock forward, we send a stark signal. Because the world is perilously close to the precipice, any move toward midnight should be taken as an indication of extreme danger and an unmistakable warning,” Holz added.
Here’s a closer look at how the clock was created and how the time is determined.
What is the ‘Doomsday Clock’?
It’s a symbolic way of showing the public how close the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists believes the world is to a human-made apocalypse.
Midnight represents Earth’s total annihilation. If the clock moves closer to midnight, it suggests that humanity is nearing self-destruction. It is possible for the clock to move away from midnight, which means that humanity has taken steps within the past year to reduce the risks of the world ending.
“There is hope. We certainly believe that the clock can be moved back and there are many actions that can be taken,” Holz said as he responded to a reporter’s question. “Our concern is that those actions are not being taken.”
“The Doomsday Clock is a design that warns the public about how close we are to destroying our world with dangerous technologies of our own making,” the website says. “It is a metaphor, a reminder of the perils we must address if we are to survive on the planet.”
How did the Doomsday Clock come about?
The timepiece concept dates back to 1947, when nuclear weapons were the greatest danger to humanity, as the U.S. and Russia were headed toward an arms race.
Artist Martyl Langsdorf was commissioned to design a new cover for the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists journal. She was married to Alexander Langsdorf, a physicist who worked on the Manhattan Project, which built the world’s first atomic bombs.
She listened to the scientists who worked on the nuclear bomb, and they stressed the importance of conveying a sense of urgency to the public about the consequences of the new technology. It was then that Langsdorf switched her design from the uranium symbol to a clock to convey there’s not much time to get it under control.
The artist first set the Doomsday Clock to seven minutes until midnight because “it looked good to my eye,” she said.
How is the time determined?
After the clock concept was established, Bulletin editor Eugene Rabinowitch decided whether or not the clock’s time should be adjusted. As a scientist and a leading voice in the international effort to reduce and eliminate nuclear weapons, he based his decisions on the clock’s time after consulting with other scientists and experts from all over the world.
After Rabinowitch died in 1973, the Bulletin’s governing board took over the responsibility. In 2008, a separate Science and Security Board (SASB) was established and is now entrusted with the task. The SASB is made up of a select group of globally recognized leaders who consult additional experts across a wide range of disciplines. The board weighs the danger of nuclear disaster, and in recent decades has considered threats of climate change and artificial intelligence.
The members weigh the following two questions every year in deciding where the clock should be: Is humanity safer or at greater risk this year than last year? Is humanity safer or at greater risk compared to the 78 years the clock has been set?

What was the time set to in recent years?
In January 2023, the Doomsday Clock was set at 90 seconds to midnight, the closest to midnight it has ever been, in large part because of the nuclear threat posed by Russia’s war on Ukraine.
It remained at 90 seconds to midnight in 2024, citing the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel and the war in Gaza, disasters exacerbated by climate change and the danger of artificial intelligence.
When was the clock furthest from midnight?
Dr. Leonard Rieser, Chairman of the Board of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, moves the hand of the Doomsday Clock back to 17 minutes before midnight on Nov. 26, 1991. (Carl Wagner/Chicago Tribune/Tribune News Service via Getty Images)
In 1991, the Bulletin set the clock hand back to 17 minutes until midnight, gaining seven minutes after the Cold War was officially over. The U.S. and Russia signed the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START), agreeing to greatly reduce the number of strategic nuclear weapons.
The ‘Doomsday Clock’ just moved closer to midnight. Here’s why atomic scientists think humanity is closer than ever to destroying itself.The Doomsday Clock, a symbolic representation of how close humanity is to global catastrophe, was recently moved to 100 seconds to midnight by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. This is the closest it has ever been to midnight since its creation in 1947.
The decision to move the clock closer to midnight was based on a number of factors, including the continued threat of nuclear war, the growing risks of climate change, and the rise of disinformation and misinformation in the digital age.
One of the main reasons for the move is the increased tensions between nuclear-armed states, particularly the United States and Russia. The collapse of arms control agreements and the development of new, more powerful nuclear weapons have raised fears of a potential nuclear conflict that could have devastating consequences for humanity.
In addition, the effects of climate change are becoming increasingly severe, with rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and loss of biodiversity posing a significant threat to global stability. The failure of world leaders to take meaningful action to address these issues has only added to the sense of urgency.
Furthermore, the spread of misinformation and disinformation in the digital age has made it increasingly difficult to distinguish fact from fiction, leading to confusion and mistrust among the public. This has undermined efforts to address critical issues such as climate change and nuclear proliferation.
Overall, the decision to move the Doomsday Clock closer to midnight serves as a stark reminder of the precarious state of our world and the urgent need for action to prevent global catastrophe. It is imperative that world leaders come together to address these pressing issues and work towards a more peaceful and sustainable future for all.

Doomsday clock set at 89 seconds to midnight, closest ever to “global catastrophe”
The Doomsday clock was set at 89 seconds to midnight on Tuesday morning, putting it the closest the world has ever been to what scientists deem is “global catastrophe.”
The decades-old international symbol, described by the University of Chicago-based nonprofit the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists as a metaphor that shows how close the planet is to reaching “human extinction,” is set every year. In January 2024, the clock was set at 90 seconds to midnight, the same as it was in 2023. This is the first time the clock has moved forward since 2023.
The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists tracks man-made threats and focuses on three main hazard areas — nuclear risk, climate change and disruptive technologies — to determine the clock’s placement.
“We set the clock closer to midnight because we do not see sufficient positive progress on the global challenges we face, including nuclear risk, climate change, biological threats and advances in disruptive technologies,” said Daniel Holz, the chair of the Bulletin’s Science and Security Board, which sets the clock, in a news conference Thursday.
The Science and Security Board, made up of scientists, nuclear technology and climate science experts, and members of organization’s sponsoring board, meets twice a year to “discuss world events and reset the clock as necessary,” according to its website.
The Doomsday clock was established in 1947, according to the Bulletin’s website, by scientists who worked on the Manhattan Project. Then, the rise of nuclear weapons technology was believed to be the world’s greatest threat, with early versions of the clock warning of the risk of the arms race between the U.S. and Soviet Union. Since 2007, climate change has been a leading concern that determines the placement of the clock.
The clock was initially set at seven minutes to midnight and has moved 25 times since then. It can move backwards and forwards, with movement away from midnight showing that people can make positive change. The hands were furthest from midnight in 1991, following the end of the Cold War, according to the Bulletin.
The Doomsday clock, a symbolic representation of how close we are to global catastrophe, has just been set at 89 seconds to midnight – the closest it has ever been. This alarming development highlights the urgent need for action to address the numerous threats facing our world today.From climate change and nuclear proliferation to political instability and the rise of authoritarian regimes, there are countless factors contributing to the precarious state of our world. The decision to move the Doomsday clock so close to midnight serves as a stark warning that time is running out for us to make meaningful changes and prevent a potential disaster.
It is crucial that we come together as a global community to address these pressing issues and work towards a more sustainable and peaceful future. The fate of our planet and future generations is at stake, and we must act now before it is too late.
Let this serve as a wake-up call to all of us – the time for complacency is over. We must take decisive action to ensure that the hands of the Doomsday clock are pushed back and that we move further away from the brink of global catastrophe. The future of humanity depends on it.

Seventy-eight years ago, scientists created a unique sort of timepiece — named the Doomsday Clock — as a symbolic attempt to gauge how close humanity is to destroying the world.
On Tuesday, the clock was set at 89 seconds to midnight — the closest the world has ever been to that marker, according to the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, which established the clock in 1947. Midnight represents the moment at which people will have made the Earth uninhabitable.
For the two years prior, the Bulletin set the clock at 90 seconds to midnight mainly due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the potential of a nuclear arms race, the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza, and the climate crisis.
The clock isn’t designed to definitively measure existential threats but rather to spark conversations about difficult scientific topics such as climate change, according to the Bulletin.
“We set the clock closer to midnight because we do not see sufficient, positive progress on the global challenges we face, including nuclear risk, climate change, biological threats and advances in disruptive technologies” such as artificial intelligence, said Daniel Holz, the Bulletin’s science and security board chair and professor in the department of physics, astronomy and astrophysics at the University of Chicago, in a news briefing Tuesday. “The countries that possess nuclear weapons are increasing the size and role of their arsenals, investing hundreds of billions of dollars in weapons that can destroy civilization many times over.”
Progress in the development of “disruptive technologies,” such as artificial intelligence, biotechnology and in space has also far outpaced regulation in those areas, Holz added.
“All of these dangers are greatly exacerbated by a potent threat multiplier — the spread of misinformation, disinformation and conspiracy theories that degrade the communication ecosystem and increasingly blur the line between truth and falsehood,” Holz added.
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists was founded by a group of scientists who worked on the Manhattan Project, the code name for the development of the atomic bomb during World War II.
Originally, the organization was conceived to measure nuclear threats, but in 2007 the Bulletin made the decision to include climate change in its calculations.
Over the last 78 years, the clock’s time has changed according to how close scientists believe the human race is to total destruction. Some years the time changes, and some years it doesn’t.
The Doomsday Clock is set every year by experts on the Bulletin’s Science and Security Board in consultation with its Board of Sponsors, which was first established by Albert Einstein in December 1948, with J. Robert Oppenheimer as its first chair. The board currently includes nine Nobel laureates, many of them in physics, physiology or medicine.
The clock has been an effective wake-up call when it comes to reminding people about the cascading crises the planet is facing, but some have questioned its usefulness.
“It’s an imperfect metaphor,” Michael E. Mann, Presidential Distinguished Professor in the earth and environmental science department at the University of Pennsylvania, told CNN in 2022, highlighting that the clock’s framing combines various types of risk that have different characteristics and occur in different timescales. Still, he added that it “remains an important rhetorical device that reminds us, year after year, of the tenuousness of our current existence on this planet.”
Every model has constraints, Eryn MacDonald, an analyst with the Union of Concerned Scientists’ Global Security Program, told CNN in 2022, adding that the Bulletin has made thoughtful decisions each year on how to get people’s attention about existential threats and the required action.
“While I wish we could go back to talking about minutes to midnight instead of seconds, unfortunately that no longer reflects reality,” MacDonald said.
The clock has never reached midnight, and Bulletin president and CEO Rachel Bronson said she hopes it never will.
“When the clock is at midnight, that means there’s been some sort of nuclear exchange or catastrophic climate change that’s wiped out humanity,” she said. “We never really want to get there, and we won’t know it when we do.”
Though the clock can’t measure threats, if it sparks conversation and encourages public engagement in scientific topics such as climate change and nuclear disarmament, then Bronson views it as a success.
When a new time is set on the clock, people listen, she said. At the UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, Scotland in 2021, then-UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson cited the Doomsday Clock when talking about the climate crisis the world is facing, Bronson noted.
Bronson said she hopes people will discuss whether they agree with the Bulletin’s decision and have fruitful talks about what the driving forces of the change are.
Moving the clock back with bold, concrete actions is still possible. In fact, the hand moved the farthest away from midnight — a whopping 17 minutes before the hour — in 1991, when then-President George H.W. Bush’s administration signed the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty with the Soviet Union.
“We at the Bulletin believe that because humans created these threats, we can reduce them,” Bronson said. “But doing so is not easy, nor has it ever been. And it requires serious work and global engagement at all levels of society.”
Don’t underestimate the power of talking about these important issues with your peers, Bronson said.
“You might not feel it because you’re not doing anything, but we know that public engagement moves (a) leader to do things,” she said.
Personal actions can make a difference. To have a positive impact on climate change, look at your daily habits and see if there are small changes you can make in your life such as how often you walk versus drive and how your home is heated, Bronson said.
Eating seasonally and locally, reducing food waste, conserving water and recycling properly are other ways to help mitigate, or deal with the effects of, the climate crisis.
In a recent announcement, scientists have set the new time on the Doomsday Clock to 11:58 PM for the year 2025. This symbolic clock represents how close humanity is to global catastrophe, with midnight representing the point of no return.The decision to move the clock’s hands forward was based on a number of factors, including the growing threat of climate change, nuclear proliferation, and political instability around the world. The scientists behind the decision have warned that urgent action is needed to address these pressing issues before it’s too late.
As we look ahead to the future, it’s clear that we are facing some of the greatest challenges in human history. It’s up to each and every one of us to take action and work towards a more sustainable and peaceful world. The clock is ticking, but it’s not too late to make a difference. Let’s come together and strive for a brighter tomorrow.
