Meanwhile, electric cars are already upending America. In 2023, our battery-powered future became so much more real—a boom in sales and new models is finally starting to push us into the post-gas age. Americans are on track to buy a record 1.44 million of them in 2023, according to a forecast by BloombergNEF, about the…
Dream Chaser’s maiden flight next year will be a collaboration between flight and ground controllers at the Dream Chaser Mission Control Center in Louisville, Colorado, NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, and NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Texas. During this flight, Tenacity will conduct a myriad of in-flight tests after launch and prior to docking with the…
According to Helicity, the core technology behind their fusion drive efficiently converts electricity into plasma heating, using a unique approach to scale fusion conditions and directly produce thrust. Their method, distinct from conventional magnetic or inertial (laser) fusion, employs self-organized Taylor relaxation and magnetic reconnection physics, combined with a peristaltic magnetic compression scheme. In very…
For MY2022, the EPA says that the average real-world CO2 emissions for all new vehicles fell by 10 g/mile to 337 g/mile, the lowest average it has ever measured. Similarly, real-world fuel economy increased by 0.6 mpg for MY2022, to 26 mpg—this, too, is a record high and the single-largest year-on-year improvement for both CO2 and mpg…
By exposing libc functions to our module, and granting it capabilities to access resources outside of its environment, we are now able to write programs that look much more like the native binaries we are used to. That’s enough to get us started, but check back for more posts as I continue diving deeper into…
“This protocol has all the hallmarks of teleportation except for one essential ingredient: it requires a bright laser beam to make the nonlinear detector efficient so that the sender could know what is to be sent, but doesn’t need to know,” explains Forbes. “In this sense, it is not strictly teleportation, but could be in…
On Dec. 12, 2023, a C-5M Super Galaxy and a KC-10 Extender conducted a reverse flow air refueling training over Northern California and Oregon, as part of a PoC (Proof of Concept) designed to maintain readiness in emergency situations to prevent loss of a tanker aircraft. The C-5M offloaded 23,500 pounds of fuel in approximately thirty minutes to the KC-10…

Renewables will cover 52% of Germany’s total electricity needs in 2023 — a five percentage point increase from the year before, according to preliminary calculations by solar and hydrogen research group ZSW and energy industry association BDEW.
The on going destruction of Twitter is having some really interesting 2nd order effects. Threads is kicking ass and implementing (extending and embracing/enclosing, but let’s take the win) ActivityPub. We’re in a lovely moment of open standards flourishing. The fediverse is fun and hopeful while it lasts. “Basically, we’re in the process of replacing our…
