Axiom-1 is the first all-private mission to the International Space Station, chartered by Axiom Space through SpaceX in the hopes of funding a private space station.
In recent years, more and more environmentally friendly projects are being developed in many countries all around the world. Similar to earlier successful projects, like for example the Netherlands-based Print your City, R3direct from Italy is now also starting to use additive manufacturing as an eco-friendly option to develop street furniture. By using plastic waste as their main material and with the help of modern technology, the company is now 3D printing benches. And the first example of this is already installed in the heart of Lucca, Italy. Called USE (Urban Safety Everyday), these benches are intended to show that technologies can make it possible to significantly reduce plastic waste by reusing the recycled material.
Italian manufacturing company introduces new, eco-friendly public benches made of recycled plastic using 3D printing technologies.
Earlier this week Meta announced that it would begin testing tools to let creators sell things for real money in Horizon Worlds and would charge a fee of 47.5% of their earnings. The fee structure seemed at odds with prior comments from Meta which have criticized app store fees from the likes of Apple and Google. Now Apple is accusing the company of hypocrisy.
Following the news this week that Meta planned to take nearly half of a creator’s earnings in Horizon Worlds, Apple didn’t miss the chance to point out that this was coming from a company which has on multiple occasions criticized Apple’s app store fee of 30% (after 15% for the first $1 million in annual revenue).
Speaking to MarketWatch, Apple spokesman Fred Sainz had this to say:
Age reversal in mice.
In vivo partial reprogramming by expression of Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc has been shown to have rejuvenating effects in a mouse model of premature aging. Here, the authors report that longer-term partial reprogramming regimens are safe and effective in delaying age-related changes in physiologically aged mice.
Companies have started using the AI model from OpenAI known as GPT-3 in 2022. Check out the top ten GPT-3 powered applications to reduce workload efficiently. A GPT-3 powered tool comes with multiple features for automation.
Researchers trained an AI to determine which psychoactive agent a zebrafish had been exposed to based on the animal’s behaviors and locomotion patterns.
Metaverse is estimated to be a multi-trillion dollar industry. Banks can hardly find themselves sitting down when such potential shows up.
One multi-task performing robot can create an enormous difference in the cores of a business operation and its workflow. Over the past few years, robotics technology has risen and is still moving up the ladder, proving its worth by providing huge successes to businesses with increased productivity and customer retention rates.
These brave new robots are becoming a part of other technological changes and are moving towards enabling unprecedented opportunities for industries around the globe.
Every robot is an integration of sleek electronics and versatile software. Robots have to connect to real-life circumstances and perform based on predictive analytics about the situations that might occur in the future.
A special form of light made using an ancient Namibian gemstone could be the key to new light-based quantum computers, which could solve long-held scientific mysteries, according to new research led by the University of St Andrews.
The research, conducted in collaboration with scientists at Harvard University in the US, Macquarie University in Australia and Aarhus University in Denmark and published in Nature Materials, used a naturally mined cuprous oxide (Cu2O) gemstone from Namibia to produce Rydberg polaritons, the largest hybrid particles of light and matter ever created.
Rydberg polaritons switch continually from light to matter and back again. In Rydberg polaritons, light and matter are like two sides of a coin, and the matter side is what makes polaritons interact with each other.

The design could someday enable a fully decarbonized power grid, researchers say.
Engineers at MIT and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have designed a heat engine with no moving parts. Their new demonstrations show that it converts heat to electricity with over 40 percent efficiency — a performance better than that of traditional steam turbines.
The heat engine is a thermophotovoltaic (TPV) cell, similar to a solar panel’s photovoltaic cells, that passively captures high-energy photons from a white-hot heat source and converts them into electricity. The team’s design can generate electricity from a heat source of between 1,900 to 2,400 degrees Celsius 0, or up to about 4,300 degrees Fahrenheit.
