It’s been a whirlwind of news on the tariff front and Taiwan has avoided tariffs for now. But the timing of a $100 billion commitment by TSMC to build chip manufacturing plants in the U.S. may have helped. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. is the biggest chipmaker in the world, but most of its chips are made in Taiwan. Donald Trump annou…Read More
Just over four years ago, climate-friendly fintech startup Aspiration was on the verge of a $2 billion public listing. Now, one of the startup’s board members has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and one of the co-founders has been arrested for allegedly conspiring to defraud investors, according to a federal criminal complaint filed by the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Central District of California. The fintech startup has been under federal scrutiny for years for
Mobile gaming publisher Sandsoft Games announced today that it is adding three new games to its portfolio of hybrid-casual games: Wizario, Potions & Spells and Iza’s Supermarket. These three are the first wave of Sandsoft’s global publishing efforts, with several more titles in development and testing — the company plans to offer support for more third-party mobile developers in order to meet increasing demand. The three games are developed by Latvian Kolka Games, Canadian Rogue

Escape takes place mostly above a certain level in the upper atmosphere known as the exobase where the transition from a collisional gas to a collisionless gas occurs (Figure 10). Below the exobase the atmosphere can be treated as a fluid, because the average distance a molecule or atom travels before making a collision – the mean free path – is shorter than the smallest macroscopic length scale. The latter is usually defined by the
Although many properties like the vertical structure and global dynamics are still not well characterized, it appears that the average dayside atmosphere is quite stable. The atmospheric state before and during transient events in the torus and neutral clouds is also unknown and thus the role of the atmosphere for these events is not understood. We review the basic characteristics of the atmosphere here. Detailed reviews on Io’s atmosphere can be found in de Pater

The Magnetic Interventional Ablation Catheter is a robotically navigated catheter for minimally invasive cardiac ablation procedures. | Source: Stereotaxis Stereotaxis Inc. yesterday said it has submitted its EMAGIN 5F catheter and its MAGiC catheter to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for clearance. EMAGIN 5F, short for Endovascular Magnetic Intervention, is a 5-French diameter that navigates tortuous venous and arterial vasculature. Stereotaxis designed it to enable efficient and safe navigation to access difficult-to-reach vascular anatomy.
Soilless growing systems inside greenhouses, known as controlled environment agriculture, promise to advance the year-round production of high-quality specialty crops, according to an interdisciplinary research team at Penn State. But to be competitive and sustainable, this advanced farming method will require the development and implementation of precision agriculture techniques. To meet that demand, the team developed an automated crop-monitoring system capable of providing continuous and frequent data about plant growth and needs, allowing for informed
