The clocks do not, however, display the other side of time.

A theoretical physicist at the University of New Hampshire named Chanda Prescod-Weinstein claims that "many of us grow up being fed this sense of time as absolute." However, according to Prescod-Weinstein, our period is a social construct. Real-time, however, is somewhat different. Space and time can slow…

The post-pandemic condition due to COVID-19 has slowed down the global economy. The world in lockdowns has shown little signs of progress in this period.

It has been seen that pre-pandemic car sales were on a sound track. According to reports, there was a decline in new motor vehicle sales in 2020. COVID-19 harmed car sales and demands. South- America and Europe were the hardest-hit regions among all other countries.

According to recent reports by Cox Automotive, in 2023, the sell volume will also stay at the same dismal level. It expects net sales to rise by 2% to 14.1 million vehicles in 2023. Again, used retail sales may fall 1% to 18.9 million in 2023.

China is the largest automobile market based on sales. However, due to the…

In this world of technology, smartphones have become an inseparable part of our lives. Today’s world is addicted to smartphones. Every portion of our lives stays there: office chores or the household.

As we see, the global smartphone market is growing daily with innovations. But in 2023, the smartphone market may perform poorly due to some global factors. As per the reports by International Data Corporation (IDC), the smartphone market will remain down through the first half of this year. It says the smartphone shipment volume was 1.24 billion units in 2022. Again, IDC has reduced the 2023 smartphone forecast by 70 million units.

Sources again say that will rise to 7.5 billion by 2026. People are already using smartphones, but there is…

London served as the primary entry point for visitors into the UK and was one of the most well-liked European vacation destinations in 2021, despite the difficulties brought on by the coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic. International travel remained unclear, although citywide domestic overnight excursions increased. Even despite the health crisis, London's extensive cultural heritage continued to be a major draw for tourists.

The Square Mile is one of London's major historic and cultural hubs, drawing tourists from all over the world because of its abundance of attractions and lively mix of activities.

Since it has been the center of London's history since Roman times, there are echoes of the past everywhere, and you can feel the heritage in…

Researchers from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, and Waseda University, Japan, developed a new additive manufacturing method to produce metal-plastic composite structures with intricate shapes. Metal-plastic composite structures have a wide range of potential applications in quantum computing, IoT devices, smart electronics, and micro- and nanosensing. Devices made with these structures have more design freedom, more complex features, and geometrical details at ever-smaller sizes. However, manufacturing these composite structures is both difficult and expensive.

The multi-step new process begins with the preparation of the active precursors. Then, palladium ions are added to light-cured resins to create the active…

This economical and environmentally friendly method uses the gaseous compound dimethyl ether to minimize the energy and material consumption associated with the extraction of rare earth elements. Dimethyl ether, one of the first commercialized refrigerants, is used in the new technique.

In order to extract transition metals and rare earth elements from magnet wastes, the compound drives fractional crystallization, a process that separates chemical compounds based on their solubility. An old magnet that is no longer useful is cut and crushed into shavings to begin this procedure. The liquid used to extract metals from a substance, lixiviants, is then added to the magnet shavings. After the desired metals have been leached from the material…

Greenhouse gases (GHGs) trapped in the atmosphere cause gradual heating and affect the ozone layer, which protects the planet from harmful rays emitted by the sun. The major GHGs are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and fluorinated gases (hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, sulfur hexafluoride, and nitrogen trifluoride). The burning of fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas, and oil, particularly from the transportation sector, results in the emission of CO2. According to the World Health Organization, around 4.2 million premature deaths globally are reported due to outdoor air pollution—black carbon (BC) being the major contributor. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), greenhouse gases…

BAE Systems has been awarded a contract to supply more Eagle Passive Active Warning Survivability Systems (EPAWSS) for Boeing F-15E and F-15EX Eagles in the United States Air Force (USAF). EPAWSS gives the fighters improved electromagnetic warfare technology.

The F-15EX program aims to create a modernized version of the historical F-15C. The new F-15EX planes are more survivable and lethal and can fly alongside fifth-generation fighters like Lockheed Martin's F-35. 

On September 7, the company announced that the agreement for low-rate starting production of lot 2 takes the overall contract value for EPAWSS production to USD 351 million.

Aircraft bring speed, maneuverability, and payload to the fight, and with EPAWSS, they can now…

NASA's Orion is stretching the bounds of human exploration with its space missions. However, spacecraft constantly encounter harmful cosmic radiation while on the route. The onboard electronics are damaged and destroyed by these radiations. Researchers have demonstrated in ACS Nano that carbon nanotube transistors and circuits can be made to keep their electrical characteristics and memory even after being subjected to intense radiation to prevent these damages.

Deep space missions can only travel so far and for as long as the technology powering them is energy-efficient and reliable. For instance, strong radiation from space can harm devices, corrupt data, or even destroy computers. Due to this, carbon nanotubes are now more frequently…

On 16th November 2022, Canon U.S.A. Inc., a pioneer in digital imaging solutions, announced the creation of new TEKLYNX native printer drivers for Canon's on-demand color label printer portfolio in partnership with TEKLYNX International, the world's top provider of barcode label and RFID software. The Canon LX-D1300, LX-D5500, and LX-P1300 label printers are all compatible with these drivers. These Canon label printers are made to help produce a high volume of labels for production use, speed up the process of label design, and enable users to create distinctive, striking, and colorful labels quickly. They also work with the latest drivers and TEKLYNX barcode and label design software.

Submersible pumps are widely used pumps that are completely submerged in water or liquid that needs to be pumped. They are used for various pumping applications like Agriculture & Irrigation, Construction, Oil & Gas, and mining. They are an effective and reliable artificial-lift method used to lift moderate or high volumes of fluids to surface from wellbores. Submersible pumps are an important mechanisms of oil production equipment. Around 60 percent of global oil production is produced using the artificial lift technique in which more than 20 percent of the pumps used are Electric Submersible Pumps (ESPs). ESPs are extensively used to increase the output of offshore oil wells. They have a high failure rate particularly in deep-sea oil…
