Any Single Galaxy Reveals the Composition of an Entire Universe

Posted by in categories: robotics/AI, space

In computer simulations of possible universes, researchers have discovered that a neural network can infer the amount of matter in a whole universe by studying just one of its galaxies.

Research Shows Supplement Boosts Muscle and Mitochondria Health

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension

A study cohort that received an oral supplement of a gut-produced compound had better endurance in two small exercises.

An oral supplement intended to stimulate a natural body process appears to promote muscle endurance and mitochondrial health in humans. New research suggests that the supplement, urolithin A, may help improve or prolong muscle activity in people who are aging or who have diseases that make exercise difficult.

The paper was published in JAMA Network Open.

Fastest-ever study of how electrons respond to X-rays performed

Posted by in category: futurism

A study of electron dynamics timed to millionths of a billionth of a second reveals the damage radiation can do on a molecular level.

The first-of-its kind study used ultrafast X-ray pulses to disrupt the electrons in a molecule of nitrous oxide and measure the resultant changes with unprecedented accuracy.

The work, published today in Science, was performed at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Centre (SLAC), Stanford, U.S. and was supported by a team of five scientists from Imperial College London.

Rolls-Royce’s Electric Plane Breaks The World Speed Record

Posted by in categories: sustainability, transportation

Rolls-Royce today announced that its Spirit of Innovation aircraft has officially become the world’s fastest all-electric vehicle. The ambitious aircraft attempted the feat in November, giving the British company the confidence that it had set a new record. However, the firm had to wait until now to receive confirmation from aviation bodies.

The Spirit of Innovation program seeks to pioneer sustainable aviation by proving the capabilities of electric flight. Those behind the program are keen to enable a future of low-carbon air travel.

The plane first took off the Ministry of Defence’s Boscombe Down site in the English county of Wiltshire in September last year. A 400kW (500+hp) electric powertrain helped the aircraft on its way, a piece of equipment that is backed by what is dubbed the most power-dense battery pack ever put together for a plane.

Marine Satellite Antenna

“Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.” Steve Jobs.

Do you agree? I think baring in mind you only have 1 life to live can embolden you to take chances you may have otherwise ignored. But I think *valuing* this life can help you want to preserve it and prevent you from taking unnecessary risks.

100% Zero-Emissions Cherry Orchard

Posted by in categories: climatology, solar power, sustainability

Forest Lodge Orchard is New Zealand’s first zero-emissions food producer. Forest Lodge Orchard is located in Central Otago, New Zealand, and is 100% free of fossil fuels. The farmers have electrified everything at the orchard — their irrigation, frost-fighting fans, electric vehicles, tools, and more. Supporting this electrification with a 45 kW solar power array and extendable battery storage system.

In January 2022, Forest Lodge will have its first zero-emission harvest of cherries. The focus is on the climate, and the folks at Forest Lodge believe that New Zealand’s future as a food-producing nation will excel with the ability to grow and produce food in a sustainable and climate-friendly way.

Credit Risk Modeling — What if Models’ Prediction Accuracy Not High?

Posted by in category: information science

One of the questions that I always get when I talk about credit risk modeling (Loan payment default, credit card payment default) is about the algorithms’ or models’ prediction limitations.

How can we implement a solution if the prediction probability is lower? How can we use the model or algorithm effectively for real-world problems?

Have chalked out what are all the available methods to predict the probability of default, while not getting into them detail since that’s not what this article’s intent is.

Aero Likely the First in a Series of Enthusiast VR Headsets from Varjo

Posted by in category: futurism

Varjo’s Aero headset is the first from the company that’s meant to appeal to individual customers rather than large organizations
 and it probably won’t be the last.

Since the company’s inception, Varjo has sold high-end enterprise headsets to the likes of Fortune 500 companies. That is until just last month when the company started shipping its new Aero headset which was not only substantially cheaper but was, for the first time, sold without any kind of annual upkeep fee which made the company’s other headsets a non-starter for individual buyers.

And while it’s possible the company had formulated Aero as a sort of one-off experiment, it seems Varjo has been satisfied enough with the reception that it intends for Aero to become an ongoing series of headsets for the high-end enthusiast segment.
