Volkswagen, Ford and GM are making nickel batteries. Nickel batteries are currently about twice as expensive as iron LFP batteries. LFP battery volume will be about 80% of the total battery market in 2024-2025. Nickel prices are increasing and LFP battery mass production will drive down their prices faster. Iron LFP batteries could become three …
China is tracking to more than double its EV battery installations in 2022. China installed 160 GWh of batteries in 2021 and should install 400 GWh of EV batteries in 2022. 63% of the China EV batteries are iron LFP batteries and this could increase to 70-80% for 2022. China could have enough batteries for …
CALB, China Aviation Lithium Battery company, has filed for an IPO on the Hong Kong stock exchange. In January 2022, Chinese battery manufacturer CALB (China Lithium Battery Technology) signed contracts with two cities in the southern Chinese province of Guangdong to build new production facilities. The two planned factories in Guangzhou and Jiangmen will each …
Andrej Karpathy, Director of artificial intelligence and Autopilot Vision at Tesla, describes the improvements to Tesla FSD Beta 10.11 Tesla FSD 10.11 is using vecotr spaces lanes to reduce errors and have minimizes phantom breaking. FSD Beta 10.11 release notes. Fave item:"Upgraded modeling of lane geometry from dense rasters (“bag of points”) to an autoregressive …
Philip Lubin has been funded by NASA NIAC to study a practical and effective method of planetary asteroid defense that allows for extremely short mitigation time scales if required. The method involves an array of small hypervelocity kinetic penetrators that pulverize and disassemble an asteroid or small comet. This effectively mitigates the threat using the …
Hybrid observatories will combine a 100 meter diameter starshade in space with a telescope on the ground. The Hybrid Observatory for Earth-like Exoplanets (HOEE) would convert the largest ground-based telescopes now under construction (Giant Magellan Telescope, Thirty Meter Telescope, and Extremely Large Telescope) into the most powerful planet finders yet designed. No other proposed equipment …
Epigenetic modification has been used to create antiaging effects in mice. Long-term partial reprogramming leads to rejuvenating effects in different tissues of mice and at the organismal level. In addition, they show that the duration of the treatment determined the extent of the beneficial effects. Cellular rejuvenation therapy safely reverses signs of aging in mice. …
In recent weeks, the James Webb Space Telescope team successfully captured starlight through each of Webb’s 18 mirror segments. They refined and stacked those 18 individual dots of light on top of one another to form an initial alignment image of a single star. Since then, in stages of alignment called “coarse phasing” and “fine …
Accurate storm predictions not only save resources and money, but also lives. To build the next generation of predictive weather models, we need to measure a storm from space across time over its entire lifecycle, from water vapor to heavy precipitation. To capture the phases of a storm, measurements need to be made at multiple …
Missions to the outer planets are an important and exciting part of NASA’s goals because these scarcely visited worlds, particularly the ice giants Neptune and Uranus, undoubtedly hold secrets about our solar system. Unlocking these discoveries will enable us to better understand Earth and the formation and evolution of our solar system and countless others. …
