A new study indicates that switching to a healthier diet at age 40 is associated with 8 added years of life.
NASA’s Dragonfly mission sounds like science fiction. But it’s real.
The space agency will launch the car-sized craft, fitted with eight spinning rotors, to one of the most intriguing worlds in our solar system, Saturn’s ocean-and dune-covered moon, Titan. It’s a frigid realm where methane, not water, fills lakes and seas, and where the dunes are teeming with the organic ingredients needed for life (as we know it) to develop.
NASA determined that Dragonfly aced its preliminary design stages, and on Nov. 28 gave the thumbs up for this “dual-quadcopter” endeavor to proceed to its final construction. The flying craft is uniquely designed for this mission, as it will explore hundreds of miles of Titan’s terrain. Over a planned mission of close to three years, Dragonfly will take off and land at multiple sites as it investigates the “prebiotic” conditions that could have provided the brew for life to eventually form in our solar system.
Elon Musk-led tunneling company The Boring Company has completed a new tunnel in Las Vegas as it continues to make progress on a larger loop covering much of the city’s downtown.
On Friday, The Boring Company page on X posted saying that the Prufrock-1 tunneling machine has completed the Westgate-2 tunnel, marking the massive tool’s fourth tunnel constructed in the city. In addition to Prufrock-1, the post also says that its the seventh tunnel the company has built in Las Vegas, while the other three were completed using Godot and its latest iteration of the Prufrock machine, the Prufrock-2.
The post also included a photo of Prufrock-1 emerging from the construction site beside the Westgate hotel, which you can see below.
The goal is to improve the speed, accuracy, and accessibility of weather forecasting and other climate applications.
Tesla has been pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the automotive industry. A recent demonstration of this is the bulletproof testing of the Cybertruck, conducted using Tesla Bots. This article delves into the details of these tests, the implications for Tesla’s technological advancements, and the potential future of these innovations.

The sanctions made it so that only those with special permission could produce the chips designed by Huawei. As a result, Huawei faced difficulties in obtaining new chips for the development of more advanced smartphones.
The material could also be used in water filters.

Now, ETH Zurich researchers at the Laboratory of Soft and Living Materials, led by former ETH Professor Eric Dufresne, have managed to replicate the material in the laboratory to be used in applications such as batteries and water filters.
During power outages, microgrids leverage local renewable sources like rooftop solar panels and small wind turbines for efficient power restoration.

Addressing this common challenge, a research team from the University of California — Santa Cruz led by assistant professor Yu Zhang is employing innovative methods to enhance power systems’ efficiency, dependability, and robustness. For this, they have devised an artificial intelligence (AI) centered strategy to intelligently manage microgrids intelligently, ensuring effective power restoration in the event of outages.
The wireless-charging roadway is expected to boost the adoption and convenience of electric vehicles, which are increasing in popularity in the United States.
