Building Digital Twins, Mixed Reality and Metaverse Apps

Microsoft IoT  What if you could have a digital twin of any physical asset or environment? One that empowered you to run simulations to discover things that are important to you. To understand the past and predict the future. To apply AI to sense that environment and automate things. To interact with that digital twin and all the insights it contains in a collaborative way in mixed reality. All this is happening on the Microsoft Cloud with leading edge companies taking advantage of digital twins, mixed reality, AI, IoT, and the power of the intelligent cloud and the intelligent edge....

Tesla Releases the FSD Beta V9.1 Update, Another Step Closer to Full Autonomy

Tesla Releases the FSD Beta V9.1 Update, Another Step Closer to Full Autonomy

    As Tesla CEO Elon Musk promised, the FSD Beta update came on time. The company has begun rolling out FSD Beta V9.1, which is already showing great improvements.At the end of last week, Musk announced that a new version of FSD Beta would be released at the end of the following week. The company delivered on its promise and started rolling out the update on time. This can be a confirmation that at the moment, FSD Beta is working according to plan and Tesla is satisfied with the results.There is no new information about the improvements in the release...

Masten develops Rocket Mining System to extract lunar water

Masten develops Rocket Mining System to extract lunar water

  The American company Masten Space Systems has presented a plan for the extraction of ice on the Moon within the framework of NASA’s Break the Ice Challenge. The company has developed a Rocket Mining System called ROCKET M (Resource Ore Concentrator using Kinetic Energy Targeted Mining) that uses an enclosed rocket engine and vacuum system to harvest water ice from the lunar surface. Designed in collaboration with Honeybee Robotics and Lunar Outpost, the new Rocket Minning System can rapidly extract frozen volatiles from the Moon. This method disrupts lunar soil with a series of rocket plumes that fluidize ice regolith by...

Jeff Greenblatt - Refueling SpaceX Starship with methane/oxygen - 2020 Lunar Development Conference

    Speaker: Jeff Greenblatt, Founder and CEO at Emerging Futures, LLC Presentation Info: Refueling Starship with methane/oxygen propellant on the lunar surface using polar volatiles As the evidence for water in the lunar polar crater regions has accumulated, exploration and business plans have moved to embrace water ice mining as an important early activity on the Moon, providing hydrogen/oxygen propellant for return missions and surface operations, life support, radiation shielding and consumables for industrial processes. However, absent from most analysis but clearly present in the LCROSS/LAMP impactor measurements at Cabeus crater were other volatiles besides water, including carbon-, nitrogen-,...

This Miniature Particle Accelerator Powers a Tiny Laser With Huge Promise

This Miniature Particle Accelerator Powers a Tiny Laser With Huge Promise

Particle accelerators are hugely important in the study of the matter of the Universe, but the ones we think of tend to be gigantic instruments – surrounding cities in some cases. Now scientists have made a much smaller version to power an advanced laser, a setup that could be just as useful as its larger counterparts. The particle accelerator in question is a plasma wakefield accelerator, which generates short and intense bursts of electrons, and the laser it's powering is what's known as a free-electron laser (FEL), which uses its light to analyze atoms, molecules, and condensed matter in incredibly high resolutions. While this scenario...
