Elon Musk told employees in a company-wide email on Monday that Tesla had just passed a rate of 2,000 per week. That was still a big increase from earlier production numbers and Tesla shares recovered some of Monday’s heavy losses in reaction to the report. Analysts have been projecting that Tesla will miss the 2,500 …
The world currently wastes or loses trillions of dollars from inefficient management of supply chains. There is hundreds of billions lost of fraud and counterfeiting. There is bureaucracy and administration to handle accounting, auditing and administration. There are multiple computer systems used by each party to the system. Supply chains makeup or impact 70% of …
Coal demand is likely to remain relatively stable in the years ahead, according to BCG’s (Boston Consulting Groups) Global Energy Scenario Model. The main reason: the unquenchable thirst for energy in numerous Asian developing countries, such as India and Indonesia. Several developments could trigger a slowdown in coal demand growth—or even a contraction. These include …

NASA NIAC new phase 2 Kilometer Space Telescope (KST) project is a follow up to the 2006-2007 Space bubble phase 1 project. The goal of a kilometer space telescope would be to provide over three times the diameter and ten times the collecting area of the Arecibo ground based radio telescope with diffraction-limited performance at …
Saudi Arabia’s crown prince, Mohammed Bin Salman, has signed a memorandum of understanding with Softbank to build 200 GW of solar power by 2030 at a cost of $200 billion. China had built 125 GW of solar power by the end of 2017 and had build 48 GW of solar power in 2017. By the …
Tiangong-1 was predicted to reenter the Earth’s atmosphere on April 2nd, 2018 00:30 UTC ± 1.7 hours. The reentry has been confirmed as 2018/04/02 00:16 UTC. Reentry occurred in the Pacific Ocean. Whatever remained of the craft fell in the South Pacific, between California and Hawaii — “out in the middle of nowhere, which is …

Quantum batteries should have faster charging time due to the quantum entanglement among the units. The units are all coupled to a common quantized electromagnetic mode, and photons from the energy source mediate a long-range interaction between units, generating entanglement among them. The enhancement increases as the number of units increases (specifically, when a quantum …
