According to an article by Bloomberg, investors and consumers are losing interest in plant-based meat. Could this be the end?

Not too long ago, it appeared that much of America was willing to join the plant-based beef bandwagon. But, according to various sources, including Bloomberg, plant-based meat may have seen its zenith and is already falling out of favor.

The method detects all the objects in the room and cancels out the static objects.

Researchers have been working on ways to “see” people without using cameras or expensive LiDAR hardware for years. In 2013, a team of researchers at MIT found a way to use cell phone signals to see through walls. In 2018, another MIT team used WiFi to detect people in another room and translate their movements into walking stick figures. Now, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Waterloo are advancing our ability to see through walls using WiFi.

It generates energy by forcing the stream to form a vortex.

Without employing any blades, the transportable hydraulic turbine SETUR from Vortex Hydrokinetics serves as a power source. The water source could be rivers, tidal streams, ocean currents, or even canals.

With a stylized celebration to celebrate at the end.

Boston Dynamics has done it once again. After demonstrating the extreme capabilities of its bipedal robot, Atlas, flawlessly executing parkour tricks, the company has now released a video where you will fall in love with the robot for doing what one hates the most–climbing down from a high platform or ladder to get the tool you need.

“This will change the paradigm of Moore’s Law.”

Moore’s Law predicted that the number of transistors on a microchip would double every year after 1960, though that rate would eventually hit a wall due to the fact silicone loses electrical properties past a certain size.

One possible solution comes in the form of 2D materials, also known as single-layer materials. These incredibly delicate two-dimensional sheets of perfect crystals are only a single atom thin. Crucially, at the nanometer scale, they can conduct electrons far more efficiently than silicon.

The new modification was made following a coolant leak in a Russian Soyuz rocket attached to the International Space Station.

NASA modified the SpaceX Crew Dragon Endurance capsule, which is currently attached to the International Space Station (ISS).

The crew capsule now features another seat and can carry one more NASA astronaut than was originally intended, a NASA blog post reveals.

The image, taken by the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) on the NSF’s NOIRLab’s Víctor M. Blanco 4-meter Telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) in Chile, is viewable online. Anyone can zoom in on the ten terabytes of data made up of 21,400 individual exposures.

This comes as a result of the decline in the cryptocurrency market and the failure of exchanges.

Genesis Global Capital, a cryptocurrency lender, is laying the groundwork for bankruptcy this week. Bloomberg.

The representatives of the crypto lender did not immediately respond to the requests for comment. The sources said the talks would continue and the plans could change anytime.
