Tesla says they have reached a 3000 car per week production run rate in China. This seems to indicate that the capacity of the China factory will be higher than 3000 per week. Tesla is expanding the factory. The yearly run rate is already 563,000 (104.9K * 4 + 52 * 3K). With 3000 per …
The USA has had drone and airstrike capabilities for over two decades but the quality of recent US assassinations suggests improved long-term target tracking. This is likely due to a combination of AI, big data and improved imaging and regular intelligence and military operations. I think the situation is similar to WW2 when the allies …
Tesla delivered a record 112,000 vehicles globally during the fourth quarter. Analysts expected Tesla to deliver 106,000 vehicles to customers during the fourth quarter. Elon Musk and Tesla had talked about delivery goal of between 360,000 and 400,000 vehicles in 2019. Tesla delivered approximately 367,500 vehicles in 2019 which was a 50% jump from 2018. …

The US Army has ordered 624 Small Multipurpose Equipment Transport, or SMET, from General Dynamics Land Systems. The $162.4 million contract kicks off the eventual 624 SMETs order for the Army. The land drone units will be deployed by 2021. The land drones will be unmanned and optionally manned and are able to carry 1,000 …
Scientists at Stanford and SLAC have created a silicon chip that can accelerate electrons using an infrared laser to deliver, in less than a hair’s width, the sort of energy boost that takes microwaves many feet. Above – This image, magnified 25,000 times, shows a section of an accelerator-on-a-chip. The gray structures focus infrared laser …
Weak and strong gravitational fields can be produced by a single continuously circulating unidirectional beam of light. In the weak gravitational field of a unidirectional ring laser, it is predicted that a spinning neutral particle, when placed in the ring, is dragged around by the resulting gravitational field. Ron Mallett has new exact solutions of …
The barrier to molecular electronics was the previous inability to detect the tiny electric signals from single molecules. Roswell Biotechnologies overcame that problem and integrated the solution with CMOS. This enables an interface between molecules for sensors and DNA and other biological detections with CMOS. Nanopores have existed for a long time and being able …
