Elon Musk’s carmaker reported net income of $331 million on revenue of $8.77 billion in the third quarter.
In a major breakthrough an international team of scientists, led by the University of Bristol, has potentially identified what makes SARS-CoV-2 highly infectious and able to spread rapidly in human cells. The findings, published in Science today [20 October] describe how the virus’s ability to infect human cells can be reduced by inhibitors that block a newly discovered interaction between virus and host, demonstrating a potential anti-viral treatment.
Have you gotten your genome sequenced yet? How important do you think genetic testing is to planning your own personalized longevity regimen?
We cover the benefits of genetic testing for longevity, and why you should consider getting a DNA test if you want to extend your lifespan.

A large variety of modern components and products such as fuel injectors and spinning nozzles require holes drilled to very high standards as fare as roundness, diameter and aspect ratio are concerned. Laser-beam helical drilling has shown great promise to produce such high quality micro holes. In helical drilling, the laser beam is rotated relative to the work piece. In this case, the rotational movement is produced using a Dove prism, mounted in a high speed, hollow shaft motor. Different kind of holes are drilled and investigated with respect to hole-quality and drilling time.

In a few decades, we might get all our power from nuclear fusion. Researchers have been working to build functional nuclear fusion reactors, which mimic the fusion reactions that occur in the sun to generate power. Once we figure out fusion power, we could use these generators to power our lives for decades.

A new invention uses magnets to record computer data which consume virtually zero energy, solving the dilemma of how to create faster data processing speeds without high energy costs.
Adding hypersonic missiles to the arsenal of dozens of Arleigh Burke class destroyers could be a very expensive and labor intensive endeavor.
The Navy is exploring new options for replenishing its submarines out at sea, which could have broader impacts on how it resupplies all of its fleets.
