The UN reports that Asia has a total population of 4.78 billion but the UN overestimates China’s population by 16 million people. Asia is about 60% of global population. India and China make up about 60% of Asia’s population. The UN Population division has forecasted far high populations and fertility for India and China than …
Nextbigfuture reader, Scott Baker, has gathered excellent information about the state of artificial womb development. Scott did this in response to my articles describing the massive global depopulation crisis. Scott has found videos and information about were tests over one year ago of biobags to help premature sheep. These are early forms of devices which …
Here are the key points of a Lancet study on global fertility. Global Fertility rates will continue to collapse even if all countries adopt the current best pro-baby policies (childcare subsidies, extended parental leave, insurance coverage expansion for infertility treatment). Future fertility rates were would drop to a global TFR (total fertility rate) of 1·83 …
Two weeks ago the Korean group presented new room temperature superconductivity research and this week the Chinese research group published new research on LK99 type superconductors. Are we at a breakthrough? What has been done in this new research? China has published new research on improved copper and sulfur codoped material with a stronger meissner …
Chinese researchers are making variations of LK99 room temperature superconductor materials with more sulfur and copper in the chemistry. They are publishing results with stronger magnetic indications of a Meissner effect. The chinese researchers have been online discussing their room temperature superconducting research and the challenges of the materials. Here are the issues discussed. * …
Chinese researchers have published a new non-peer reviewed paper on their sulfur copper doped led apatite room temperature superconductor. They have increased the Meissner effect signal. Supplemental material from the China researchers. This describes the precise work done show they did not make measurement errors. Background Context In mid-2023, the Original Korean researchers discovered the …
China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation’s (CASIC) plans to build a giant magnetic launcher to propel airplanes up to speeds where they can start hypersonic scramjet engines. CASIC has built a 2000 meter long low-vacuum track high-speed maglev test facility in the industrial heartland of Datong, Shanxi province. This is able to accelerate heavy object …
There was a APS presentation by Ulsan Korea University researchers. It is being reported that numerous comments on the Chinese website Zhihu imply that the University of Ulsan’s data plot is so important that a certain superconductivity expert saw the decisive signal proving LK99’s superconductivity in the graph’s temperature rise curve near 200K. Nextbigfuture does …
This is a review of the arguments and evidence for and against LK99 type materials as room temperature superconductors. Case Against Cuprous Sulfide and Iron Contamination The claims against LK99 and LK99-variants materials as a superconductor is that cuprous sulfide has some transition temperatures that match up with some of the bulk LK99 readings. They …
Chinese wholesale passenger NEVs (New energy vehicles, battery and hybrid) in February were 441,000 units, down 11 percent from a year ago and down 37 percent from January, according to the CPCA (China Passenger Car Association). Cumulative wholesale sales of Chinese passenger NEVs so far this year totaled 1.123 million units, up 27 percent year-on-year. …
Unitree is a publicly traded robot company with about $5 billion in market value. They have sped up their humanoid robot to human jogging speed of 3.3 meters per second. This is about 7.5 miles per hour. It would not tire so it would take 50 minutes to cover a 10 kilometer race with enough …
