The unnamed passenger can be heard in recordings with air-traffic control saying he had “no idea how to stop the airplane”.
Zack Mannheimer, the CEO of Alquist, predicts more US homes will be 3D printed than built “traditionally” within the next five years.
Imagine moving through airport security without having to take off your shoes or belt or getting pulled aside while your flight boards—while keeping all the precautions that ensure the safety of passengers and flight crews.

This is the challenge tackled by a team including researchers from Sandia National Laboratories—a challenge that led to development of the Open Threat Assessment Platform, which allows the Transportation Security Administration to respond more quickly and easily to threats to air travel safety.
“When we wanted to change how we screen in response to new threats,” said Andrew Cox, a Sandia R&D systems analyst who leads the OTAP project. “The technology was too rigid. TSA compensated by adding procedures. There’s a shoe bomber and you have to take your shoes off; liquid explosives arrived, and TSA had to limit liquids and gels.”
They may be the only cars to go more viral than Cybertruck.
Remember that Hyundai concept 4×4 with robotic legs?
The South Korean automotive giant actually means to make it a reality and it has announced a development and test facility in Montana for that very purpose.
Hyundai has a planned investment goal of $20 million over the next five years for its New Horizons Studio, which will employ 50 people.
It will be located in Montana State University’s Innovation Campus in Bozeman, Montana and it will be a unit focused on the development of Ultimate Mobility Vehicles\.
In recent years, developers have created a wide range of sophisticated robots that can operate in specific environments in increasingly efficient ways. The body structure of many among these systems is inspired by nature, animals, and humans.
Although many existing robots have bodies that resemble those of humans or other animal species, programming them so that they also move like the animal they are inspired by is not always an easy task. Doing this typically entails the development of advanced locomotion controllers, which can require considerable resources and development efforts.
Researchers at DeepMind have recently created a new technique that can be used to efficiently train robots to replicate the movements of humans or animals. This new tool, introduced in a paper pre-published on arXiv, is inspired from previous work that leveraged data representing real-world human and animal movements, collected using motion capture technology.
Meanwhile, the agency’s supersonic X-59 QueSST has completed wind-tunnel and stress tests.
