Ten-Nine Technologies is scaling up production of TENIX, a cathode additive designed to stop the chemical decomposition that saps a battery’s performance as it ages. The additive is blended into cathode material during manufacturing at 0.5–2% of the cathode’s weight. That works out to roughly 0.5–2 kg for every 100Continue Reading
BEIJING (AP) — Beijing is banning the possession of drones within city limits in new rules announced Sunday that further tighten its regulations on drones, which already include a May ban on sales of the devices.

A NASA NIAC project will try to Mapping Alien Continents using formation-flying optical interferometer. Two hierarchical nullers ~100 km apart that first suppress the host star by ~10¹⁰ in visible light, then combine the leftover planet light as a Michelson interferometer. That baseline gives an angular resolution of order 1 µas at 500 nm. AnContinue Reading
NASA Advanced innovation study will try to enable the next generation of solar sails featuring very high characteristic acceleration–potentially up to 2 mm/s²–and large effective areas exceeding 10,000 m², to support future ultra–high delta-V missions. These advanced solar sails would significantly transform space exploration and utilization, making possible a range of missions currently beyond theContinue Reading
