The train runs on the energy of a high-temperature superconductor, which gives the impression of traveling on magnetized rail tracks. The prototype is 21 meters long.

The train was presented to the media in Chengdu for the first time. Professor He Chuan, who took part in the work on the prototype, has already shared his predictions with journalists. He is sure that the train can be put into service in a period of 3 to 10 years.

2022-03-19 08:51:11 The world's first cyborg

Neil Harbisson was born colorblind. But he always dreamed of feeling colors.

He managed to accomplish his dream by developing a device implanted in the brain. It consists of a camera that translates colors into 360 different sound waves and transmits directly to Neil's brain, as well as a wearable 1 kg computer and a software chip implanted in his skin.

Besides, Harbisson can see not only the regular optical radiation range, but also the infrared and ultraviolet energy.

2022-03-04 17:38:00 Ultrasonic prosthesis for musicians

Musician James Barnes had to amputate his arm to the elbow due to injury. However, simple prostheses with electromyogram sensors did not provide the needed control.

Therefore, together with tech designers from Georgia Tech, he began work on a prosthesis with an ultrasonic sensor that could accurately capture the movements of the untouched muscles and correctly reproduced both movement and pressure force.

The actions of the new development are so precise that a musician can play musical pieces.

According to the EPA, the Tesla facility uses multiple hazardous materials during its vehicle coating process, including formaldehyde and ethylbenzene, and failed to have plans in place through the three-year period to minimize such operations emissions. The company also did not calculate whether their emissions during vehicle coating met the EPA requirements and failed to collect and keep all necessary monthly records relating to this process. These emission standards are part of the EPA’s initiative to protect the air quality of communities that are located in close proximity to sources of hazardous air pollution...Read More
