The latest Energy Information Administration (EIA) forecast for US crude oil production is for an increase to about 11 million barrels per day and then having a plateau. When US crude oil production gets past 10.1 million barrels per day then it will have passed the old production peak in 1970. This will take a …
US daily Crude oil production is at 9.586 million barrels per day. There were only 11 months in US history where crude oil production reached higher levels. US all liquids oil production is at 14.8 million barrels per day. This is the highest ever. It includes 3.1 million barrels per day of natural gas liquids. …
Nature Materials – Accelerated wound healing by injectable microporous gel scaffolds assembled from annealed building blocks Injectable hydrogels can provide a scaffold for in situ tissue regrowth and regeneration, yet gel degradation before tissue reformation limits the gels’ ability to provide physical support. Here, we show that this shortcoming can be circumvented through an injectable, …
Every year, hundreds of thousands of tourists visit the Valley of the Temples, a large park of Greek ruins situated on the south-west coast of Sicily. But soon you could be able to get a drone’s-eye view of the sights. Helmut Hlavacs at the University of Vienna has developed a system that allows people to …

Factoring in costs and the regulatory hurdles required to extend the life of operating reactors beyond the typical 40 years, atomic power will probably supply no more than …
A guided HVP (Hyper Velocity Projectile.) round from a standard Mk 45 deck gun could bring a significant margin of the railguns promised capabilities to the fleet sooner, USNI News understands. The HVPs from a traditional deck gun will be slower than one launched from a railgun — a little over Mach 3 versus Mach …
A Northwestern University team has confirmed a new way to help the airline industry save dollars while also saving the environment. And the solution comes in three dimensions. By manufacturing aircrafts’ metal parts with 3-D printing, airlines could save a significant amount of fuel, materials, and other resources. Led by Eric Masanet, the team used …
Bruce Jenner became the transgender Caitlyn Jenner So we get to have a reference from my favorite Futurama episode “Raging Bender”. Bender joins the Ultimate Robot Fighting league. He eventually becomes the ‘The Gender Bender’. I would also note that there has been a 39 year delay but a “woman” has won the gold medal …
Two abstracts presented during the Genitourinary (Prostate) Cancer Oral Abstract Session on Sunday, May 31, showed significantly improved overall survival (OS) when docetaxel chemotherapy was added to standard hormone therapy in patients with advanced, hormone-naive prostate cancer (Abstract 5001) and hormone therapy plus radiation therapy in men with high-risk localized prostate cancer (Abstract LBA5002) STAMPEDE …
