Ola S1 Electric Scooter Catches Fire In Pune, Raises Concerns On EV Safety
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in category: transportation
An Ola Electric scooter caught fire while parked at the roadside in Pune, Maharashtra. In an unverified tweet posted on March 26, an Ola electric scooter could be seen in plumes of smoke, which ultimately led to the scooter catching fire. As per the tweet, it could be an Ola S1 or Ola S1 Pro scooter.
“We’re in constant touch with the customer who is absolutely safe,” said the startup. “Vehicle safety is of paramount importance at Ola and we are committed to the highest quality standards in our products. We take this incident seriously and will take appropriate action and share more in the coming days,” Ola said.

Italian scientists hacked pizza physics to make dough without yeast
Posted by Omuterema Akhahenda in categories: chemistry, cybercrime/malcode, food, physics
Ernesto Di Maio is severely allergic to the yeast in leavened foods. “I have to go somewhere and hide because I will be fully covered with bumps and bubbles on the whole body,” he says. “It’s really brutal.”
Di Maio is a materials scientist at the University of Naples Federico II where he studies the formation of bubbles in polymers like polyurethane. He’s had to swear off bread and pizza, which can make outings in Italy a touch awkward. “It’s quite hard in Naples not to eat pizza,” he explains. “People would say, ‘Don’t you like pizza? Why are you having pasta? That’s strange.’”
So Di Maio put Iaccarino and another graduate student, Pietro Avallone, to work on a project to make pizza dough without yeast. The results of this scientific and culinary experiment are published in Tuesday’s edition of Physics of Fluids. Di Maio pulled in another colleague: chemical engineer Rossana Pasquino who studies the flow of materials, everything from toothpaste to ketchup to plastics. “Pizza [dough] is a funny material,” she explains, “because it flows, but it has to be also like rubber. It has to be elastic enough [when it’s cooked] to be perfect when you eat it.” — I had to post this because I love Pizza.

Is the US military testing an anti-aging pill?
Posted by Robert Grüning in categories: biotech/medical, military
If the trials go well, it could become a longevity treatment for civilians too.
The U.S. military is developing an anti-aging pill that is designed to inhibit performance reduction that comes with aging.

Elon Musk Spearheads Idea That People Want A Replacement For Twitter
Posted by Kelvin Dafiaghor in categories: Elon Musk, space travel, sustainability
Elon Musk is one of the revolutionary figures in the world. Almost all of his ventures, such as SpaceX, Tesla and The Boring Company, are about making a difference in their own right. Musk has been a champion for all things alternative, whether it comes to cars or currency. However, he could trigger another great replacement.

Time-magnified photon counting with a 550fs resolution
Posted by Dan Kummer in category: quantum physics
“Time-resolved photon-counting plays an indispensable role in precision metrology in both classical and quantum regimes. In particular, time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC) has been the key enabling technology for applications such as low-light fluorescence lifetime spectroscopy and photon counting time-of-flight (ToF) 3D imaging. However, state-of-the-art TCSPC single-photon timing resolution (SPTR) is limited in the range of 10–100 ps by the available single-photon detector technology. In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate a time-magnified TCSPC (TM-TCSPC) that achieves an unprecedentedly short SPTR of 550 fs for the first time with an off-the-shelf single-photon detector. The TM-TCSPC can resolve ultrashort pulses with a 130-fs pulsewidth difference at a 22-fs accuracy. When applied to photon counting ToF 3D imaging, the TM-TCSPC greatly suppresses the range walk error that limits all photon counting ToF 3D imaging systems by 99.2 % (130 times) and thus provides unprecedentedly high depth measurement accuracy and precision of 26 {\mu}m and 3 {\mu}m, respectively.”
