The development of electromagnetic catapults on China’s Fujian aircraft carrier began in 2001, which drew experience from the Shanghai Maglev Train project at the time. Land-based testing of the electromagnetic catapult for this Type 3 aircraft carrier can be traced back to 16 years ago. China has kept quiet about it, but satellite images from Western companies unveiled the truth.

A new report has raised alarms about a medical gas used in thousands of hospitals across the US that could be linked to cancer.

Ethylene oxide (EtO), a colourless, odourless gas used to sterilise medical equipment such as ventilators, surgical kits, catheters, and gowns, may cause cell mutations and increase cancer risks, including blood, stomach and breast cancer, according to recent research.

Concerns are particularly high for those living near sterilisation facilities where EtO can remain airborne for hours, causing repeated exposure.

“The experiment deepens First Light’s ongoing partnership with Sandia National Laboratories, and helps the UK fusion leader to continue developing its unique amplifier approach to inertial fusion,” First Light Fusion explains.

First Light Fusion believes this “strengthens the case” for its “unique amplifier technology.” It also shows that the technology can be used, in theory, on other platforms, too.

In the core of the Sun, hydrogen is fused into lighter elements under extremely high temperatures and pressures. This fusion process produces light but also an incredibly large amount of energy. If we can replicate it on Earth, it could open the door to near-endless, clean energy.

The human brain is a remarkably complex organ, consisting of billions of interconnected neurons. It can be divided into distinct regions, each with specific functions, such as memory and decision-making. Cognition, which includes processes like perception, memory, language, and problem-solving, is all orchestrated by the brain. It’s through these cognitive processes that we perceive and interact with the world around us.

What is special about the structure of the brain compared to other organs? What is the principled way of understanding how the brain works? How does the brain contribute to our sense of Self? Is it possible to compare the brain with the computer? Is it possible to enhance the way that the brain works? What is the brain-basis of language?

These and other questioned are answered by Serious Science experts from leading universities from all around the world. The coursed is comprised of 15 lectures filmed in the period from 2014 to 2020.

Like a certain Pixar movie come to life, Nio — China’s answer to Tesla, basically — has unveiled in a video that its flagship electric car can literally shake snow and ice off itself in seconds, like a Siberian Husky who’s done running the Iditarod Race.

In a video posted to Weibo this past weekend and spotted by Business Insider, Nio showcased this cool ability in its upcoming, ultra-luxurious ET9, which is set to be delivered in early 2025.

The premium four-door electric vehicle, which will cost an eyewatering $112,000, is able to do this doggy snow shake due to its advanced suspension system, dubbed Sky Ride, which includes independent hydraulic pumps for each wheel.
