Lithium ion batteries will now have triple the capacity thanks to a new nanomaterial

One of the most-cited concerns about all-electric cars — battery capacity — will soon become moot thanks to a new nanomaterial capable of tripling the capacity and extending the service life of lithium-ion batteries, according to a new study published in the Journal of Alloys and Compounds. The inherent limits of graphite in all-electric batteries Scientists of the National University of Science and Technology “MISIS” (NUST MISIS), part of an international team of researchers, managed to increase the capacity and extend the service life of lithium-ion batteries. According to the researchers, they have synthesized a new nanomaterial that can replace low-efficiency graphite…

Deepfakes: When Contemporary Content Creation Goes Too Far

Google officially launched in 1998, and the world hasn’t been the same since. It has become part of our vocabulary, a ‘verb’ we find ourselves doing every day. The first page of a Google search result is the most powerful position on the internet. It gets 95% of web traffic, leaving only 5% for the other pages. Most online surfers won’t even get past the fifth page unless they’re looking for less-known answers. To compete for this coveted spot, webmasters are coming up with new ways to get your attention. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) revolutionized digital marketing by analyzing algorithms…

Elon Musk explains why the SN10 exploded, as starship SN11 is in the works

Following the surprising explosion of Space Exploration Technologies Corp.’s (SpaceX) Starship SN10 prototype, the company’s chief executive officer and chief engineer Mr. Elon Musk took to Twitter to provide details behind the accident. SpaceX is busy testing the upper-stage prototypes for its next-generation launch vehicle dubbed Starship – which Mr. Musk hopes will fulfill the company’s foundational aim of making humanity a multi-planetary species. Elon Musk has detailed just what went wrong with the SpaceX SN10 Starship, after the latest prototype landed only to promptly explode earlier this month. At first, all seemed to be going unexpectedly well for the…

Russian modder upgrades RTX 3070 with 16 GB GDDR6 Memory, runs twice as much as reference card & fully operational

One of the quickest and easiest ways to boost your computer’s overall performance is to upgrade the memory subsystem. In many instances, it can take fewer than five minutes to remove your old memory and swap in a new kit that is faster and / or offers more capacity. It’s no wonder, then, that this is often among the first upgrades to consider when sprucing up an older system. What Russian modder VIK-on has accomplished in his latest video series, however, is many levels beyond a basic memory upgrade. The hardware tweaker took a Palit-branded GeForce RTX 3070, removed the…

Russia and China join hands to create a lunar research station

China and Russia just signed an agreement to construct and work on an “International Scientific Lunar Station” orbiting the Moon, according to statements from both countries’ space agencies on Tuesday. Russia is preparing to sign a memorandum of understanding with China to cooperate on a vision for an international lunar research station. The station is envisioned as a “complex of experimental research facilities created on the surface and/or in the orbit of the moon,” according to a statement from Roscosmos. “Roscosmos has completed domestic proceedings to harmonize the Memorandum of Understanding between the Government of the Russian Federation and the…
