Can you use 2 space filling curves for a battery anode, with the second keeping the first from breaking?

I am not a battery expert. From my understanding the more surface area you have the more charge you can get. The problem is the anode swells during charging and then can break or get coated during...

Can you make a music player that plays music by adding a waveform to the ambient noise in a room to get the music waveform?

Instead of noise cancelling do noise adding. Assuming you can predict and calculate the waveform to add to the ambient noise in realtime (low power GPUs, Machine Learning) just add the waveform at...
