AgelessRx claims that PEARL is the first nationwide telemedicine trial and one of the first large-scale intervention trials on Longevity. The human trial is a stepping stone to the way to bringing rapamycin to the Longevity market. PEARL (Participatory Evaluation of Aging with Rapamycin for Longevity) is a $600,000 trial with the University of California. …
ESA’s exoplanet mission Ariel, scheduled for launch in 2029, has moved from study to implementation phase, following which an industrial contractor will be selected to build the spacecraft. Ariel, the Atmospheric remote-sensing infrared exoplanet large-survey mission, addresses one of the key themes of ESA’s Cosmic Vision programme: What are the conditions for planet formation and …
There was a lot of hype and promise around memristors and HPE bet huge amounts of research around creating a new computer paradigm around memristors and memory driven computing. The last major flurry of information and presentations from HPE was in 2018. From 2014-2018, HPE launched memory driven computing that was supposed to leverage memristor …
Natural gas power plants only emits half of the carbon dioxide as coal power plants. However, natural gas usage can result in a lot more methane leaks and emissions. One ton of methane emissions has the same warming effect as about 86 tons of CO2 over twenty years. Above is satellite images of large methane …
SpaceX SN8 Prototype had substantial damage during its third static fire. They lost vehicle pneumatics and a safety disc burst. The burst disc saved the vehicle. However, one or more engines will need to be replaced. We lost vehicle pneumatics. Reason unknown at present. Liquid oxygen header tank pressure is rising. Hopefully triggers burst disk …
Elon Musk is 49 so his risks are very low with COVID. Elon is a multi-billionaire and will be able to get the best treatments. Having two positive tests out of four then this is 99% likely that Elon has COVID. Early stage COVID rapid tests only have false positives 10% of the time. False …

The SpaceX – NASA Crew 1 flight is scheduled to fly this weekend with four astronauts to the International Space Station. There are nine Crew Dragon flights contracted to carry crew. Seven are contracted by NASA (one crewed test flight and six operational crew rotation missions) and one for private companies Axiom Space and another …
Researchers at KAUST have developed a perovskite ink tailor-made for a roll to roll friendly mass manufacturing process called slot-die coating, producing PSCs that captured solar energy with high efficiency. The ink could also be coated onto silicon to create perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells. High-throughput roll-to-roll fabrication would make printing solar cells in a similar …
Virgin Hyperloop is had its first-ever passenger test. They have two people at a time in the pods on a 500-meter test track. There are eight companies working towards developing the Hyperloop concept. The Hyperloop is a proposed mode of passenger and freight transportation, first used to describe an open-source vactrain design released by a …
NuScale used advanced testing and modeling to determine the NuScale Power Module™ (NPM) can generate an additional 25 percent more power per module for a total of 77 MWe per module (gross), resulting in about 924 MWe for the flagship 12-module power plant. This breakthrough in economic value means that Nuscale modules will be clearly …
