The 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 […]
Read MoreRust and corrosion are some of the biggest enemies of metals. These deficiencies can lower the strength of the part over time, and in some circumstances, become a safety issue. There is a difference between rust and corrosion, though. Rust is generally used to describe the oxidation of iron and iron-based alloys only. Usually, rust […]
Read MoreThermal conductivity is a crucial quality of metals since it measures the amount and speed of heat the material can displace. This quality is especially important in high-temperature environments. Extremely high temperatures can change the properties of any metal, usually reducing the strength. Therefore, conducting the heat quicker can significantly reduce the stress on the […]
Read MoreGEV (Global Energy Ventures) has designed a compressed hydrogen transport ship called “H2 Ship”, which is meant to solve the puzzle of transporting the precious fuel from northern Australia to Singapore, South Korea, China, and Japan. The “H2 Ship” can theoretically store up to 2,000 tons of compressed hydrogen that is produced in Australia using […]
Read MoreEinride, an autonomous EV mobility systems developer from Sweden, has presented the “Pod”, a fully autonomous truck built for the public roads. We have seen many prototypes of this kind, and freight truck drivers knew that the “end of the road” is coming since quite a few years ago, yet this is the first model […]
Read MoreRust is one of the biggest enemies of steel and other iron-based, ferrous metals. That’s because, in big enough quantity, it can seriously lower the strength of the part. You can do some things to prevent rusting, though. Here, we will revisit everything you can do to limit rusting. Before we do that, though, let’s […]
Read MoreDid you know over 90 percent of world trade is carried across the world’s oceans by over 90,000 marine vessels? Pollution from the shipping industry significantly contributes to global climate change. Thanks to the Swedish consortium that has unveiled the Oceanbird, which it says can reduce emissions by 90 percent. This innovative sailing cargo vessel is going […]
Read MoreHonda has decided to wrap up its Formula One engine program and put the money they invest in it to the acceleration of the adoption of carbon-neutral technologies. The Japanese have set a goal to electrify two-thirds of its global car sales by 2030, and their F1 program just doesn’t fit anywhere on these plans. […]
Read MoreThe maiden test flight of the “Flying-V” aircraft model was successful, and the teams of engineers and researchers behind it were filled with pride and hope for the next steps of the project. “Flying-V” is being co-developed by KLM engineers and TU Delft researchers, to create an extremely energy-efficient aircraft. Its shape and size are […]
Read MoreThe Volkswagen Group is looking to close the circle of experimentation with the ultra-hyper-car brand that is Bugatti, and pass the ownership of the marque to Rimac. VW had the rights to Bugatti since 1998, and it did truly amazing things for it by developing the Veyron, and later the Chiron. Both car models stand […]
Read MoreTank farms are often called to withstand harsh weather conditions as they are exposed to the elements of nature, be it sun, rain, frost, and sand particles hitting their walls with speeds as wind blows on them. It’s only a matter of time before corrosion takes its toll on the vessels, and tank farm operators […]
