Circa 2018 unlimited energy using graphene.

University of Arkansas researchers have shown that the motion of graphene could supply an unlimited amount of clean energy. (Image credit: Pixabay)Graphene advancements are rolling out on a regular basis, with new developments in production 0, strength 0, and have even used it to create 3D printed objects. Researchers from the University of Arkansas have also utilized the material to create a source of potential unlimited clean energy, thanks to its flexibility.

Tedros said the risk posed by monkeypox is moderate globally, but the threat is high in Europe. There’s clearly a risk that the virus will continue to spread around the world, he said, though it’s unlikely to disrupt global trade or travel right now.

In early May, the United Kingdom reported a case of monkeypox in a person who recently returned from travel to Nigeria. Several days later, the U.K. reported three more cases of monkeypox in people who appeared to have become infected locally. Other European nations, Canada and the U.S. then also began confirming cases. It’s unclear where the outbreak actually began.

The WHO last issued a global health emergency in January 2020 in response to the Covid-19 outbreak and two months later declared it a pandemic. The WHO has no official process to declare a pandemic under its organizational laws, which means the term is loosely defined. In 2020, the agency declared Covid a pandemic in an effort to warn complacent governments about the “alarming levels of spread and severity” of the virus.

The steady stream of news continues. Where we had unexpected explosive things to dive into last week, this week a much more positive, planned and progressive run of testing at SpaceX’s Starbase. SpaceX Starship Pressure Builds, Starbase 2 also screaming forward. Starlink Breaks Record with Starlink with an almost relentless cadence of Falcon 9 hurling launch after launch into orbit. Loads more to talk about with the wonders coming from the JWST, a bunch of news with Relativity Space Terran 1 and much more. Welcome to yet another incredible week.

Each potential flight will last more than a month.

With that out of the way, Artemis I should be able to fly in late August or early September.

The automotive industry has a ‘million-mile’ dream for electric vehicles, but it’s a boring one. They want to build a battery capable of being recharged over and over as many times as it takes to reach a million miles without losing its ability to retain a charge. Yawn.

We’re more interested in the cutting-edge quantum physics version of a million-mile battery: one that can last a million miles between charges.

This would effectively eliminate the need for the bulk of vehicle operators to ever charge their batteries. Even heavy-use owners could just pop into the shop for routine maintenance every couple of years to top their batteries off.

A potential cure for haemophilia B has been announced by British doctors, which corrects the genetic defect associated with the condition.
