Dubai solar site still aiming for 5 GW by 2030

Posted by in categories: solar power, sustainability

It was designed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by over 6.5 million tons each year.

The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) is aiming for 5 GW by 2030 in the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park — the largest single-site solar park in the world.

Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park project constitutes one of the key pillars of the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the Dubai Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy to provide 100 percent of Dubai’s total power capacity from clean energy sources by 2050.

Musk approaches brain chip startup Synchron about deal amid Neuralink delays

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, Elon Musk, robotics/AI

Musk seems frustrated with the delays in Neuralink’s progress.

Elon Musk, the world’s richest person has reached out to a competitor Synchron Inc. about a potential investment after his own biotech company Neuralink has lagged in developing an implantable brain chip, Reuters reported.

Launched in 2016, Neuralink was co-founded by Musk to develop implantable brain-chip interfaces to connect humans and computers. Like his ambitious projections about his electric vehicles, Musk had ambitiously claimed in 2019 that Neuralink was aiming for its product to receive regulatory approval by the end of 2020.

How scientist established a two-stage solar flare early warning system?

Posted by in categories: robotics/AI, space

The system uses neural networks to predict solar storms up to 48 hours in advance.

A multi-institutional research group based out of China has put together an “early warning” system that could aid in the accurate prediction of space weather, a press release said.

Every 11 years or so, the magnetic field of the Sun flips completely so that its north pole becomes south, while the south pole becomes north. The changes in the magnetic field of the Sun lead to visible changes on the solar surface, where regions of intense magnetic activity temporarily stop the convection process.

China’s new radio telescope will have dangerous solar eruptions in its gaze

Posted by in categories: internet, space

It’s part of a wider project aimed at investigating dangerous solar eruptions.

China is building the world’s largest array of telescopes designed to study the Sun, a report from the South China Morning Post.

The array, called the Daocheng Solar Radio Telescope (DSRT), will help scientists better understand coronal mass ejections — massive solar eruptions that have the potential to knock out the world’s internet and disrupt global satellite services.

Long-lasting, dissociable improvements in working memory and long-term memory in older adults with repetitive neuromodulation

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience

This method could be helpful for elderly people.

Our brain has both short-term and long-term memory. While short-term memory helps us with things like remembering the bus number, long-term memory processes information for a long time. However, as we age, our memory does not work as well as it used to.

Electrical brain stimulation for 20 minutes on four consecutive days can improve two different types of memory in individuals 65 years and older for at least one month, a study published in the journal Nature Neuroscience reveals.

An AI-based party vows to win Denmark’s general election in 2023. Can it succeed?

Posted by in categories: information science, robotics/AI, sustainability

An art collective is trying to get an AI-supported candidate into Danish Parliament in 2023. Could we have a fully virtual candidate one day?

With all the political rancor that has become a part of our everyday reality, maybe it’s time to admit that humans may not be the best at forging agreements. Our egos are always in play, and emotions often rule our political choices more than reason. Maybe artificial intelligence (AI) could do a better job, or at least that’s what the creators of The Synthetic Party, the world’s first AI-based political party, think. The party hopes to run an AI candidate in Denmark’s general election in 2023.

Seize The Opportunity in Flight

Posted by in category: drones

While farmers are its primary target, it’s an exciting passenger drone.

The Recon, a one-passenger eVTOL multi-copter aircraft manufactured by The U.S.-based company Ryse Aerotech, undertook its first human flight test in June.

While the eVTOL is not designed for urban use or commuting and aims at farmers and ranchers, the Recon is pitched as a buy ‘n’ fly ultralight aircraft with no requirement for a pilot license.

‘Liberate the tractors’: The right to repair movement that’s regaining control of our devices

Posted by in categories: cybercrime/malcode, transportation

The software that runs John Deere tractors was successfully “jailbroken” at this year’s DEF CON hacker convention, enabling farmers to repair or retune their equipment without engaging with the company that sold them their vehicles.

The hacker involved, who calls himself Sick Codes, was responding directly to U.S. farmers’ long-standing concerns that their “smart” tractors are run on software that only John Deere can access to repair. Smart tractors, including those manufactured by John Deere, are also widely used in the U.K.
