JAKARTA, Aug 8 (Reuters) — U.S. carmaker Tesla (TSLA.O) has signed contracts worth about $5 billion to buy materials for their batteries from nickel processing companies in Indonesia, a senior cabinet minister told CNBC Indonesia.
Southeast Asia’s biggest economy has been trying to get Tesla to set up a production facility in the country, which has major nickel reserves. President Joko Widodo met with Tesla founder Elon Musk earlier this year to drum up investment. read more
“We are still in constant negotiation with Tesla … but they have started buying two excellent products from Indonesia,” Coordinating Minister for Maritime and Investment Affairs Luhut Pandjaitan said in an interview broadcast on Monday.
August 9, 2022 – A new national poll of registered voters in the United States demonstrates broad bipartisan support for advancing research into longevity treatments that would extend healthy human lifespan.
Wearable human-machine interface devices, HMIs, can be used to control machines, computers, music players, and other systems. A challenge for conventional HMIs is the presence of sweat on human skin.
In Applied Physics Reviews, scientists at UCLA describe their development of a type of HMI that is stretchable, inexpensive, and waterproof. The device is based on a soft magnetoelastic sensor array that converts mechanical pressure from the press of a finger into an electrical signal.
The device involves two main components. The first component is a layer that translates mechanical movement to a magnetic response. It consists of a set of micromagnets in a porous silicone matrix that can convert the gentle fingertip pressure into a magnetic field variation.
In today’s video we take a deep dive into the Future of Transportation. There has been no denying the fact that for several years in the past, the world has been undergoing massive changes, thanks to the advancement in technology. However, when it comes to transportation, the changes have not been that great. Transportations method such as cars, trains, ships, and planes have improved somewhat in functionality over time, but since their creation, they have in large part stayed the same.
With that being said however, when we look at the latest advancements in technology, it looks that the rate of change is about to make a dramatic acceleration. If you are interested in knowing what the future holds when it comes to transportation, then make sure to stick with us all the way till the end.
In this video, we will unveil some amazing future transportation technologies that without a doubt will absolutely blow your mind!
The technologies we look at will include; Earth-to-earth rockets, which will let you travel from one side of the earth to the other in less than 1 hour. This technology utilizes the famous Starship from Elon Musk’s SpaceX; Hyperloop Systems, which is a cutting-edge new technology that makes use of a vacuum-sealed tube to send passengers or freight at high speeds; Fully Autonomous Vehicles, looking into the various level of autonomation available today and what will be there in the future.
