Read MoreA research team at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and ICMAB has successfully created magnetism from non-magnetic materials by leveraging wireless technology. Traditionally, electronic devices have used electric currents to manipulate electrical and magnetic properties. However, this can lead to overheating, which can reduce efficiency and shorten the lifespan of devices. In recent years, […]
Read MoreOn the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk informed that the company plans to produce 200,000 Cybertrucks annually. Deliveries of this futuristic vehicle are planned for November 30, and over two million reservations have already been placed. This is much more than the previously planned volume of 125,000 units per year. Previously, Musk […]
Read MoreElectrical steel is a unique product used in a broad range of industries, including energy, automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, and medical device. Also known as silicon steel and lamination steel, this material provides excellent magnetic properties, making it ideal for use in things, like generators, motors, and transformers. Electrical steel also cuts power losses, boosts electrical […]
Read MorePollution and climate change are threatening the world’s most important resource, drinking water. It is said that over half of the world’s population could be facing water scarcity by 2025. Fog nets have long been a literal lifesaver in arid regions with regular fog as they are used to gather water in useful quantities and […]
Read MoreBoom Supersonic recently announced that its supersonic jet prototype XB-1 has passed ground tests and won an experimental airworthiness certificate from the US FAA. Supersonic overland flight has been banned for decades because of the noise it produces. The sonic from aircraft generates shock waves for miles away, which not only rattle windows and trip […]
Read MoreElon Musk’s innovative medtech venture, Neuralink, is making significant strides in its mission to pioneer brain implant technology. Following reported FDA approval for human trials, the company has successfully raised an additional $280 million in funding, bolstering its total investment to an impressive $643 million. In a recent announcement, Neuralink extended an invitation to individuals […]
