Airlines in danger due to 5G

Airlines in danger due to 5G

The federal aviation administration this month warned of 5G consequences on aviation industry and requested Biden administration to delay deployment of 5G services. Dave Calhoun, Chief executive at Boeing & Jeffrey Knittel, CEO at Airbus Americas requested US government of delaying roll out of 5G wireless technology as it will interfere with airline radar altimeter. Altimeter measures height of airplane above a fixed point including sea level. 350,000 flights a year are expected to be delayed due to use of 5G technology as per alarm sounded by many airlines executive….

Battle for Rare Earth Minerals

Battle for Rare Earth Minerals

Every one of us has seen countries fighting to gain supremacy over Oil and Oil reserves. But soon this will become history as the fight for Oil and Coal will be replaced with Critical Resources Minerals or Critical Raw Materials (CRM). These new age minerals include Cobalt, Titanium, Copper, Aluminum, Boron, Sulfur, Lithium, Phosphate, Iron, Manganese, Silicon, Nickel, Zinc, Graphite. CRM which is green and environment friendly is the future of this planet. CRM is available in few countries but again the game will be for countries who can explore…

Now! Pigeonbot has come to rescue

Now! Pigeonbot has come to rescue

Developed by researchers at Stanford University, PigeonBots have come as a blueprint for this new generation as scientists have found greater value in these urban birds. Birds are very flexible and can bend their most of the body parts appealing to mankind as they can be made to do any task. Researchers bent the wings of dead Pigeons and found how wings were controlled and how the feathers were aligned. Based on these findings scientists built a robot with real pigeon feathers that could wrist and fingers could morph wing…

Floating Solar Panel

Floating Solar Panel

Floating Solar Panels are an array of panels that float on water which is generally artificial basin or lake. As a part of renewable energy market and an alternate source of energy solar panels have gained tremendous popularity since 2016 and increased market share. These floating Solars do not take any land space but their space is limited in water bodies which are necessary for electric connections and grid connections. While USA has been the first to demonstrate floating solar panels with first installation about 10 years in California, Japan…

Robots invade Mars in the name of Research

Robots invade Mars in the name of Research

Moroccan desert near Morocco-Algeria Border served as a testing site for 3 rovers and about 40 engineers in the first phase of Strategic Research Cluster on Space Robotics which is a project funded by the European Union’ Horizon 2020 program. Engineers tested the rovers automated navigation systems in Sahara Desert spanning over 2 weeks in a project coordinated by PERASPERA, a partnership of space agencies from Europe, including Italy, France, Germany, Spain & UK. The tests represent the efforts of 4 years on the international R&D programme which is coordinated…

Boost food production by fixing a flaw in photosynthesis

Boost food production by fixing a flaw in photosynthesis

One of the evolution’s biggest mistakes has been the enzyme that grabs hold of CO2 and adds it to a carbon chain, holds an oxygen molecule by mistake. This generates toxic molecules that plants have to expend energy to mop up. Initially it was not a major issue since there was little oxygen around. But subsequently it became a problem as oxygen levels rose and CO2 levels declined. The grabbing of oxygen by mistake called photorespiration now happens so often that it has reduced photosynthesis efficiency by 50%. But the…

Smoking without Smoke

Smoking without Smoke

Have you ever heard of IQOS. It is I Quit Ordinary Smoking. This is a new way of tobacco companies encouraging smokers to smoke without being noticed by regulatory authorities across the globe. Philip Morris International (PMI) recently introduced heat sticks which is a heat not burn device popularly known as “Heets.” It resembles a white board marker and roasts tobacco resulting in emission of dry vapour for the inhalation of its user, minus the exhalation of a cloud of smoke on each puff. Unlike the conventional cigarettes the heat…

Travel on Sailing Sauna

Travel on Sailing Sauna

It doesn’t matter where you go but Sauna therapy definitely relaxes your body and soul. I am sure you must have not heard of sailing sauna. Finnish inventor and Former NASA engineer Janne Kapylehto travelled from Helsinki to Estonia in just 16 hours with his self made sauna across the Gulf of Finland. This 82 kilometers long journey took longer time than expected due to rough weather with 1.5 meters high waves and winds of 15 meters per second. This sauna is just like a shed on a raft which…
