Lordstown Motors is preparing to sue Foxconn, the Taiwanese manufacturer once considered a savior to the beleaguered EV maker. Lordstown said Friday in a regulatory filing that it will sue Foxconn if the company pulls out of an investment agreement and fails to buy nearly 10% of the EV company’s...

Background: Emerging technologies to remotely monitor patients’ cough show promise for various clinical applications. Currently available cough detection systems all represent a trade-off between convenience and performance. The accuracy of such technologies is highly contingent on the clinical settings in which they are intended to be used. Moreover, establishing gold...

When dealing with an environment that feels complex, people commonly look for ways to reduce variability and increase control for dealing with complexity. An alternative approach is to embrace complexity by acknowledging that it exists, asking questions and listening, and constructing a shared understanding based on different perspectives. This lets...

All creatures whose cells house a nucleus, including Paramecium bursaria, can be traced back to a common ancestor called the Last Eukaryotic Common Ancestor (LECA). Getty ImagesAustralian researchers just uncovered remnants of 1.6 billion-year-old eukaryotes in an ancient rock. The post Newfound single-celled hunters may have been Earth’s first-ever predators...

The information in this post is based on the details of the attack as known on the 7th June 2023.  The recently announced MOVEit Transfer vulnerability is a great example (perhaps not, if you are impacted by it) of cyber security attack trends coming together as an extremely effective and...

Q1 semiconductor equipment billings increased 9% y-o-y to $26.8 billion, SEMI announced  in its Worldwide Semiconductor Equipment Market Statistics (WWSEMS) Report. Quarter-over-quarter billings slipped 3%. “Semiconductor equipment revenue in the first quarter was robust despite macroeconomic headwinds and a challenging industry environment,” said Ajit Manocha, SEMI president and CEO. “The...

Nowadays, many computation tasks are carried out using cloud computing services and virtualization technology. The intensive resource requirements of virtual machines have led to the adoption of a lighter solution based on containers. Containers isolate packaged applications and their dependencies, and they can also operate as part of distributed applications....

Large-scale protein regulatory networks, such as signal transduction systems, contain small-scale modules (‘motifs’) that carry out specific dynamical functions. Systematic characterization of the properties of small network motifs is therefore of great interest to molecular systems biologists. We simulate a generic model of three-node motifs in search of near-perfect adaptation,...

Promoting rural development is essential for the general economic transformation of people, hence requiring great attention from different government systems. This study assessed the risk, vulnerability, and resilience of agriculture, as well as its impact on sustainable rural economy development, using Greece as the case study. The study employed a...

Researchers are using a perspiring robot to test bodily responses to extreme heat. Christopher Goulet/ASUANDI is helping researchers learn how extreme temperatures affect the human body—every part of it. The post This very sweaty robot measures how heat affects humans appeared first on Popular Science....
