We may not have entered the post-COVID era just yet, but it’s clear that 2021 is set to be a time when every automotive manufacturer will have to approach their business strategy from scratch. For the past year, everything was done in a context of “emergency responses”, but the dust has settled and the car […]
Read MoreDARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), U.S. Air Force’s R&D platform, is developing a novel type of high-speed drone that will be able to carry and deploy air-to-air missiles. The drones will be taken up in the air by fighter jets, and the idea is to extend the reach of the planes beyond the range […]
Read MoreSteel is maybe the most widely used, versatile, and cherished material in the world, so the steel industry is both a neuralgic one and also very indicative of where the economy is going. As we head deeper into 2021, here are the main factors that are expected to affect the steel industry in the most […]
Read MoreThings down on Earth may have gone through a very rough year, and turbulence is not set to clear up any time soon, but space exploration isn’t stopping nonetheless. 2021 is going to be an exciting year for the scientific community, astronomers, and just about everyone who feels more conscious and connected when looking up. […]
Read MoreA team of scientists at Brown University in Rhode Island has developed a novel technique through which they can smash individual metal nanoclusters together and form larger bits of solid metal. This is very important because first, it gives metallurgists an unprecedented versatility to create whatever crystalline structures they want/need, and second, it empowers them […]
Read MoreBoeing is going through a “perfect storm”, and nobody can be sure that the historic aviation company is gonna make it to the other end this time. On January 7, 2021, Boeing agreed to settle the criminal conspiracy charge and the associated probe launched by the U.S. Justice Department over the two 737 Max plain […]
Read More‘Formula E’ is gradually losing its edge, with Audi and BMW announcing their simultaneous exit from the series. The new season is planned for kick-off in January 2021, and the organizers are calling for new manufacturers to enter now, hoping for some high-profile players able to fill the void that has opened. The reason for […]
Read More‘Annealing’ is the heat treatment process that metals that need to be worked on go through in order to to make them easier to form, shape, or stamp. It is done to reduce the hardness and increase the ductility of the parts, thus allowing metallurgists to apply forming or stamping forces on the workpiece without […]
Read MoreThe web has been filled with headlines about the so-called ‘Apple Car’ and its arrival before the end of 2025, which is according to reputable and trustworthy analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. There have been numerous reports over the years suggesting that Apple was working on a car, but everything was obscured by a cloud of uncertainty. […]
Read MoreDid you know that over 80% of ocean plastic ends up there from 1,000 rivers? Rivers pass through the land where polluting human activity takes place, and inevitably, carry waste to the sea. While the cleaning of the oceans remains crucially important, stopping the problem at its root is even more urgent. Meet the “Interceptor”, […]
Read MoreThe time has finally come, artificial intelligence has piloted a military U-2 spy plane, taking it for a rise above California. The U.S. Air Force has used an AI algorithm developed internally by the “Air Combat Command Federal Laboratory”, and wrote history. For now, the AI was limited to co-piloting along with a human pilot, […]
Read MoreIt appears that Uber has suddenly scrapped the plans to dominate the streets with fleets of self-driving cars, and is selling its division to Aurora. The latter is a leader in the field that is growing rapidly, so the hard work of Uber’s engineers won’t go to waste. On the contrary, Uber still believes in […]
Read MoreIn a big breakthrough, scientists have created diamonds in minutes inside a lab at room temperature. However, the formation of traditional diamonds takes over billions of years. They are formed deep within the Earth’s crust under conditions of intense heat and pressure that cause carbon atoms to crystallize. Billion-year wait for getting the perfect diamond […]
Read MoreA team of scientists at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing are testing a “sodramjet” engine in a wind tunnel, and their creation has reached Mach 16 speeds. That is multiple times the speed of sound, which is absolutely impossible using conventional jet engines. That’s enough speed to get a plane anywhere on the […]
Read MoreTen U.S. Army bases including the Nellis Air Force Base are going to take part in the pilot testing of 5G tech for military purposes, and the officials are already counting the endless potential deployment and usability scenarios. 5G has arrived in the United States and it’s being rolled out globally, so it’s not a […]
Read MoreThe U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has approved the return of the Boeing 737 MAX in the commercial air travel industry, and other regulators are expected to follow the same path now. This news came as a huge relief for Boeing, which was on the ropes ever since the second fatal accident of the particular aircraft […]
Read MoreThe Seattle-based energy, power, and aerospace engineering expert ‘Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation’ (USNC) has presented a design for a new nuclear engine that could cut the time needed for traveling to Mars down to three months. To better understand the gravity of that claim, currently, the trip to Mars takes around seven months. The fuel […]
Read MoreKorean carmaker Hyundai and American software expert Autodesk have joined forces to develop a novel type of car that can walk. Hyundai has flirted with the idea of developing a UMV (Ultimate Mobility Vehicle) for quite a while now, and even presented a concept at CES 2019 called the “Elevate”. This time, Autodesk will help […]
Read MoreThe production car speed record has captured the imagination of automotive enthusiasts for over a century. Moreover, manufacturers and even countries used it as a bragging right, showing superior engineering and technology. Now, we have a new record holder – the SSC Tuatara, a hypercar from the US. Some would argue that the Tuatara is […]
Read MoreThe United States Air Force is piloting the deployment of robo-dogs made by Ghost Robotics. These tin canines are called “Vision 60”, and look a lot like the Boston Dynamics’ “Spot”. The two American companies may have had some exchange of expertise, or this is simply a design convergence induced by the natural technological developments […]
