President Trump will likely withdraw from the Paris climate agreement. The matter has deeply divided the Trump administration. Ivanka Trump and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson have urged the president to remain in the deal, and White House strategist Stephen K. Bannon and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt have been pushing for a withdrawal. …
Morgan Stanley analysts Brian Nowak and Adam Jonas say Alphabets Waymo self-driving car unit could be worth $70 billion. Waymo could be a good spin out candidate and that its value is not being taken into account in Alphabet’s current stock price. They do not believe Waymo or any of the ‘Other Bets’ are currently …
Air Force Chief Scientist Greg Zacharias told Scout Warrior in an exclusive interview that the AFRL (Air Force Research Lab) is already working on experimental demonstrator laser weapons able to bolt-on to an aircraft. The AFRL is working on externally-mounted POD with sufficient transportable electrical power. Air Force Research Laboratory officials have said they plan …
5 kilowatt combar lasers were placed on a Stryker armored vehicle and shot down drones in a test fire exercise. A Mobile Expeditionary High Energy Laser was used shoot down an 18-by-10-inch drone at a distance of 650 yards. In 2013, a 30-kilowatt High Energy Laser Mobile Demonstrator on a large truck shot down dozens …
The United States will test an existing missile defense system to try to intercept an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) next week, U.S. officials said on Friday, at a time when North Korea is trying to develop one. The test, scheduled for Tuesday, is the first time the United States will try to intercept an ICBM. …
A team of researchers from MIT, Harvard University, and Sandia National Laboratories reports a new technique for creating targeted defects in diamond materials, which is simpler and more precise than its predecessors and could benefit diamond-based quantum computing devices. Quantum computers are experimental devices that offer large speedups on some computational problems. One promising approach …
Solsource Cooker has an innovative design which allows you to capture sunlight to grill, pan fry, slow-cook and boil water. Advance self-healing polymer maximizes the effectiveness of the solar reflector and ensures durability. The Solsource cookware heats up five times faster than traditional charcoal. That means you can get cooking faster. Other solar cookers restrict …
A new class of “miracle materials” called organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites could be a game changer for future spintronic devices. Researchers discovered that the perovskites possess two contradictory properties necessary to make spintronic devices work—the electrons’ spin can be easily controlled, and can also maintain the spin direction long enough to transport information, a property known …
The in vitro fertilization (IVF) services market is expected to touch $23 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 10.3% from 2017 to 2025. Asia-Pacific is estimated to dominate the IVF market throughout the analysis period and is set to grow at a prominent CAGR of 13.0%, due to wide availability of IVF clinics, …
The US Missile Defense Agency is speeding up a program to create multiple warhead missile interceptors by five years. North Korea is likely working hard on missiles that can fire decoys to confuse interceptors. The most recent Pentagon budget request seeks $259 million to move the Multi-Object Kill Vehicle, or MOKV, program into a new …
The odds of China and the USA fighting a major war are very remote. There is the possibility over the next few decades of some small skirmish results from massive incompetence and miscalculation. There would be no benefit for a war for either side. The US decided not to fight Russia and China during the …
