Uranium di-telluride could be a wonder material for insanely powerful magnets and it could become the basis of next generation quantum computers. UTe2 might be the long-sought-after spin-triplet superconductor. The reason is very simple. If the spins of the electrons in the Cooper pair have opposite directions and we apply a magnetic field, it will …
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have made one of the highest-performance cameras ever composed of sensors that count single photons, or particles of light. With more than 1,000 sensors, or pixels, NIST’s camera may be useful in future space-based telescopes searching for chemical signs of life on other planets, and …
The Cybertruck pickup bed is 2 feet longer than the Rivian and it is one foot longer overall. 230.9 inches long and sports a 149.9-inch wheelbase with a 6.5-foot-long, 57-inch-wide bed out back. The Rivian is 217.1 inches long overall and has a 135.8 in wheelbase with a 4.5 foot-long bed behind it. The Cybertruck …
Tesla’s stock is down 6% because of the radical Cybertruck design and broken windows during the presentation yesterday. The market is ignoring the fact that Tesla can place a different more conventional truck design on top of the Cybertruck skateboard. Tesla can sell the Cybertruck and a regular truck. Tesla has about 18 months before …
I think Tesla will sell very high volumes of Cybertruck. I have never previously wanted a pickup truck and never owned a pickup truck. However, this Tesla Cybertruck asThe innovative and breakthrough styling will put off some people, but a vast majority will be passionate about it. The pricing, range and features are all exciting. …
The Tesla Cybertruck will be unveiled at 8PM PDT today at http://livestream.tesla.com/ The Tesla Cybertruck is made out of stainless steel like the SpaceX Starship. They hit it with a sledgehammer and it was not damaged. The prices start at $39,900 and then go up to 69,900 for the tri-motor version. Elon Musk loves stainless …
Fujitsu PRIMEHPC technology could build exaflop Fugaku supercomputer in 2021. Japan’s new supercomputer Fugaku is set to begin operations around 2021 with the country aiming to regain the title of building the world’s fastest computer, replacing its current supercomputer K, government-backed research institute Riken. The Fugaku, a nickname for Mount Fuji, aims to be about …
The University of Southern California ASTE527 Graduate Space Concepts Studio within the Department of Astronautical Engineering and in the Graduate Space Architecture Seminar in the School of Architecture presented a lunar tourism paper. Space Experience Tourism might be “low hanging fruit” that will spur on the development of a self-sustaining space economy in the near …
SpaceX Starship Mk1 exploded on the test stand as they were loading it with liquid oxygen for a pressure test. SpaceX will move to Mk3 design. Starship MK-1 appears to have blown its top off during a pressure test today. My guess… this will be a good time for @spacex to move onto their next, …
Bill Gates backed a previously stealth startup called Heliogen which can make hydrogen in a scalable way. They use artificial intelligence and a field of mirrors to reflect so much sunlight that it generates extreme heat above 1,000 degrees Celsius. They can concentrate solar energy to the extreme temperatures needed for industrial production of cement, …
Researchers from the University of Houston have reported a significant breakthrough with a new oxygen evolution reaction catalyst that, combined with a hydrogen evolution reaction catalyst, achieved current densities capable of supporting industrial demands while requiring relatively low voltage to start seawater electrolysis. Nature Communications – Non-noble metal-nitride based electrocatalysts for high-performance alkaline seawater electrolysis …
