Ahead of SpaceX moon mission, billionaire Yusaku Maezawa sells a $2.3 billion stake in his fashion company to Yahoo Japan
Posted by Genevieve Klien in category: space travel
Yusaku Maezawa, a key investor in SpaceX’s next-generation rocket system, called Starship, plans to sell a 30% stake in his online fashion-retail company, Zozo, to Yahoo Japan.
As part of the $3.7 billion tender offer, Maezawa will resign as CEO of Zozo, receive about $2.3 billion in cash, and maintain a 6% stake in the company he founded, according to Forbes.
Maezawa spoke about the deal during an emotional two-hour-long press conference on Thursday. Although he raised misgivings about how he managed the company in recent years, saying he regretted mistakes that hurt the company’s bottom line, Forbes reported that he rationalized his departure in another and far more personal way: a need to prepare for his 2023 flight around the moon inside Starship.

Rhetoric aside, what do China’s semiconductor insiders really think about the nation’s self-reliance drive?
Posted by Derick Lee in category: futurism
This is the second in a series of in-depth articles examining China’s efforts to build a stronger domestic semiconductor industry amid rising trade tensions.
China has to strike a balance between the heavy investment that the industry requires and the returns that such spending may, or may not, yield.

Universe might be 2 billion years younger, shocking study says
Posted by Paul Battista in category: space
The universe is assumed to be roughly 13.7 billion years old, but a stunning new study says it could be significantly younger than that — by a couple of billion years.
According to the study, researchers used new calculations that took different approaches to figure out just how old the universe really is.
“We have large uncertainty for how the stars are moving in the galaxy,” the study’s lead author, Inh Jee, of the Max Planck Institute, told the Associated Press. The research has been published in Science.

Radiation shift of the electron mass in a magnetic field (Higgs boson contribution)
Posted by Quinn Sena in category: futurism
The single-loop contribution of Higgs bosons to the radiation shift of the energy of an electron moving in a homogeneous permanent magnetic field is calculated. On the basis of this contribution, the appropriate contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron and the probability of magnetic-braking radiation of Higgs bosons by an electron are found. The dependence of the mentioned quantities on the electron energy and the external field intensity is investigated.

New vibration sensor detects buried objects from moving vehicle
Posted by Quinn Sena in categories: government, transportation
Detecting landmines can be a challenging and slow process. Detecting them from a moving vehicle would make the process more speedy, but at the expense of accuracy.
At the Optical Society’s (OSA) Laser Congress, held 29 September—3 October 2019 in Vienna, Austria, researchers from the University of Mississippi, U.S.A., will report a new laser-based sensor that effectively detects buried objects even while the detector is in motion. This new device offers a significant improvement over existing technologies, which cannot be operated on the go and lose accuracy in the presence of external sources of sound or vibration.
Laser Doppler vibrometers (LDVs) combined with vibration excited in the ground have shown promise for detecting landmines and other buried objects, but their sensitivity to environmental vibrations mean they must be operated from a special stable platform. The device, called a Laser Multi Beam Differential Interferometric Sensor (LAMBDIS), provides comparable detection capabilities but is far less sensitive to motion, allowing it to be used aboard a moving vehicle.
