Bart Blommaertsif it helps. But don’t cut internet cables with that thing!!

Andreas StürmerFinally. Is it going to be a rail or car tunnel?

Lilium’s High-Speed eVTOL Jet Takes Final Steps Toward Certification

Posted by in category: futurism

Instead of luxury private jets, some could opt in the future for a new generation of eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) jets. One of them, the Lilium eVTOL jet, is closer to certification.

Artificial Heart Developer CARMAT Beats €40.5 Million Funding Goal

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, finance, life extension

CARMAT, the developer of the world’s most advanced completely artificial heart has successfully raised €40.5 million in funding. The raise is set to finance the production of their Aeson artificial heart, which the company hopes will provide an alternative treatment option for people with heart failure – a condition affecting around 6.2 million adults in the US alone [1].

Longevity. Technology: Beating around 100,000 times per day, your heart works around the clock to keep your circulatory system ticking. The steady sound of your heartbeat is a comforting constant throughout your life. Forming the centre of the circulatory system, the heart continuously pumps blood around the body to deliver oxygen and nutrients to cells. Due to this constant work, our hearts can unfortunately wear out as we age, with cardiovascular diseases continuing to be the leading causes of death globally [2].

End-stage heart failure is a serious condition that occurs when the heart can no longer transport blood throughout the body effectively. It most often affects the left chamber of the heart, which pumps oxygen-rich blood around the body, leading to biventricular heart failure. Vital organs like the brain, liver and kidney fail to get enough oxygen and nutrients to function properly. With few treatment options, end-stage heart failure sometimes requires serious intervention like heart transplantation – considered the gold standard therapy. However, due to the global shortage in organ donors, this is not always possible and there is a gap for a therapeutic alternative that could have huge implications for longevity globally.

Infrared Multiple Photon Dissociation Spectroscopy Confirms Reversible Water Activation in Mn+(H2O)n, n ≤ 8

Posted by in categories: chemistry, particle physics, quantum physics

Ron FriedmanThink outside the box. Most people don’t need a car for the sake of having a car.

Most people need a comfortable, quick and cheap way of going from A to B. So, Robotaxi could be the ideal solution for most people most of the time.… See more.

Jerry AndersonProbably not, because new batteries that contain other elements, I think they are saying Sulfur-Lithium batteries are more efficient last longer, and don’t require recharging as often… There are bound to be other breakthroughs.

Robotic Rat Climbs, Crawls, and Turns on a Dime

Posted by in categories: Elon Musk, robotics/AI, space travel

Alan DeRossettPutin propaganda is dividing opinions on Elon Musk for helping Ukraine and standing up to the Fossil fuel industry.

Walter LynsdaleI’m all for people making billions through technical advancement (teslas, space X rockets, the dojo chip are all pretty cool), but he comes out with a fair amount of double speak:

“people aren’t having enough babies” vs “we can make a humanoid robot”… See more.
