Sun unleashes powerful solar flare strong enough to cause radio blackouts on Earth

Posted by in category: space

The sun emitted a solar flare this week that was strong enough to cause radio blackouts on Earth — and it reportedly did.

NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured an image of the event, which showed a bright flash in the top right area of the sun. The flare was classified as a X1.0 flare, which means it is in the most intense class of flares, according to the agency.

The flare peaked at 7:14 p.m. Eastern Time on July 2, NASA said. It erupted from a sunspot that is seven times the width of Earth, according to Space.com, a website that chronicles news and events in space.

Eric Schmidt: This is how AI will transform the way science gets done

Posted by in categories: climatology, robotics/AI, science

Usual weather prediction systems have the capacity to generate around 50 predictions for the week ahead. FourCastNet can instead predict thousands of possibilities, accurately capturing the risk of rare but deadly disasters and thereby giving vulnerable populations valuable time to prepare and evacuate.

The hoped-for revolution in climate modeling is just the beginning. With the advent of AI, science is about to become much more exciting—and in some ways unrecognizable. The reverberations of this shift will be felt far outside the lab; they will affect us all.

Take A Look At This New $2.4 Billion Tesla Semi Truck Factory

Posted by in categories: Elon Musk, sustainability, transportation

By now, it should not be breaking news that Tesla is boldly entering the trucking industry with the semi-truck. Elon Musk wants to leave no stone unturned in his quest to up-end industries for the better.

He is not just doing that by producing more advanced and efficient vehicles for the future, he’s also doing it with the kind of factories he builds to produce those vehicles. A factory as big as 138 football fields combined. Boardwalk with hike and biking trail.

Joby Aviation’s first production air taxi cleared for flight tests

Posted by in category: transportation

Joby Aviation has been cleared by the FAA (Federal Aviation Authority) to start flight tests on its first production prototype air taxi, the company wrote in a press release. It’s a large step in the company’s aim to start shipping the eVTOL aircraft (electric vertical takeoff and landing) to customers in 2024 and launch an air taxi service by 2025.

“The aircraft will now undergo initial flight testing before being delivered to Edwards Air Force Base, California, where it will be used to demonstrate a range of potential logistics use cases,” Joby wrote.

A 20-year study of 190 supermassive black holes has shown that time flowed five times slower at the dawn of the Universe than it does now

Posted by in categories: cosmology, robotics/AI

Researchers from the University of Tokyo pool knowledge of robotics and tissue culturing to create a controllable robotic finger covered with living skin tissue. The robotic digit has living cells and supporting organic material grown on top of it for ideal shaping and strength. As the skin is soft and can even heal itself, the finger could be useful in applications that require a gentle touch but also robustness. The team aims to add other kinds of cells into future iterations, giving devices the ability to sense as we do.


Albert Einstein proved decades ago that time and space are inseparable. However, because of the expansion of the Universe, events that occurred after the Big Bang now appear to have slowed down. As it turned out, time flowed many times slower at the dawn of the Universe than it does today.
