The rim-less electric motor promises to offer similar performance figures when compared to its fossil-fuelled counterparts.
An electric jet engine is silently taking flight in the suburbs of Prince Edward Island in North America that promises to deliver similar performance to its fossil-fuelled counterparts.
Canada-based Duxion Motors has successfully completed the ground test of its patented eJet Motor, which, according to it, is “poised to make high-speed electric aviation a reality,” said its website. The ground tests with a scaled prototype included both low-speed and high-speed testing.

The hope is that people who are unable to speak because of neurological conditions may one day be able to communicate again thanks to this modern technology.
Helping people with motor disorders
“There are many patients who suffer from debilitating motor disorders, like ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) or locked-in syndrome, that can impair their ability to speak,” said Gregory Cogan, Ph.D., a professor of neurology at Duke University’s School of Medicine and one of the lead researchers involved in the project.

The development arrives days after Elastic Security Labs disclosed the Lazarus Group’s use of a new macOS malware called KANDYKORN to target blockchain engineers.
Also linked to the threat actor is a macOS malware referred to as RustBucket, an AppleScript-based backdoor that’s designed to retrieve a second-stage payload from an attacker-controlled server.
In these attacks, prospective targets are lured under the pretext of offering them investment advice or a job, only to kick-start the infection chain by means of a decoy document.
The first rub-on gene therapy shows how biotech companies are getting creative with how they deliver DNA fixes.
Authorities say he was grabbed and pressed against a conveyor belt by the machine’s robotic arms in a vegetable packing plant.
The synthesized yeast strain contains over 50% synthetic DNA and survives and replicates much like wild-type S. cerevisiae.
Summary: A new study reveals insights into how general anesthesia affects consciousness and sensory perception.
Using animal models, researchers found that while propofol anesthesia allows sensory information to reach the brain, it disrupts the spread of signals across the cortex. This suggests that consciousness requires synchronized communication throughout the brain, and propofol’s effect of limiting this interconnectivity could explain its role in inducing unconsciousness.
A new map of 56,000 cells in the outer layer of the human brain could inform research into a whole class of diseases.
