The New Revolutionary Robotic technology named Robotic Bronchoscopy helps to both treat and prevent lung cancer in one shot

The patients wake up from anaesthesia with the cancer treated. By:  Loukia Papadopoulos   There’s a new robotic technology that finds lung cancer early and also has the ability to treat it at the same time,  according to a report  by  CBS Philadelphia  published on Tuesday. The American Lung Association's annual report revealed that lung cancer survival rates are on the rise thanks partially to this new technology. The five-year survival rate is now estimated at 25%.  One example of this success is Kathleen McGinn, who found her cancer early and treated it with the new robotic procedure. "I'm very optimistic for my future," McGinn told  CBS .  The  new technology  is called robotic bronchoscopy, and it allows doctors to reach the small, remote parts of the lung they can’t get to with regular tools.  Dr. Partrick Ross with Main Line Health calls it "revolutionary” because, in addition to spotting early-stage cancer, it also allows doctors to treat it a

World’s first cooking-oil-powered military transporter aircraft just flew successfully

The 90-minute flight also replicated an air-to-air refueling sortie. By:  Baba Tamim Representational image: RAF Voyager and Tornados over Iraq. Royal Air Force   U.K.'s Royal Air Force (RAF) has successfully completed a flight test of a giant military transporter aircraft powered entirely by renewable fuel – used cooking oil.  RAF has completed a 100 percent sustainable fuel flight using a military transporter aircraft of this size that is a world first for any aircraft type and the first of its kind in Britain, according to a press release by the U.K. government on Friday.  "They should be rightly proud of this achievement; it is a breakthrough moment for the RAF and an exciting development for the MOD [Ministry Of Defense]," said Baroness Goldie, U.K.'s Defence Minister. "Through the RAF's pioneering spirit, expertise and partnership with U.K. industry, British science and engineering is leading the way in improving operational resilience and d

Rimac's Nevera is officially the fastest EV in production, beating Tesla Model S Plaid

It is already the fastest-accelerating EV in the world today. By:  Ameya Paleja Rimac's Nevera during its record run Rimac   Croatian electric vehicle maker, Rimac Automobil now has the bragging rights to the title of the fastest EV in the market, after its Nevera clocked 258 miles (412 km) an hour top speed at the  Automotive Testing Papenburg  track in Germany, a company press release said. The record was previously held by Elon Musk's Tesla whose model Plaid S managed 167 mph (269 kph) at Nurburgring, also in Germany last year. However, with this achievement, Rimac has finally achieved what it had aimed for in 2018, when it first unveiled the Nevera at the Geneva Motor Show, hitting the 258mph mark. Rimac Nevera, the world's fastest EV Interesting Engineering  has previously reported how the  Nevera beats Tesla Plaid S  on the race track. Now in production at the Rimac's facilities outside Zagreb, Croatia, the Nevera is powered by four electric motors tha

New technology to reduce portholes

By:  University of Technology Sidney Researchers have developed new "intelligent compaction" technology, which integrates into a road roller and can assess in real-time the quality of road base compaction. Improved road construction can reduce potholes and maintenance costs, and lead to safer, more resilient roads. Months of heavy rain and floods have highlighted the importance of road quality, with poor construction leading to potholes and road subsidence. This not only causes tyre blowouts and structural damage to cars and trucks, but also increases the chance of serious accidents. The innovative machine-learning technique, which processes data from a sensor attached to construction roller, was developed by a research team from the University of Technology Sydney. The study was led by Associate Professor Behzad Fatahi, head of geotechnical and transport engineering, together with Professor Hadi Kahbbaz, Dr Di Wu and PhD student Zhengheng Xu. "We have develo

By:  Brian Dipert With every iPhone generation, with varying degrees of success, Apple strives to come up with at least one “killer” new feature that will motivate not only potential Android switchers but also iOS upgraders. For the iPhone 12, there were (at least) two: first-time 5G connectivity, and the underlying motivation for this particular teardown, MagSafe. Long-time Apple hardware owners may  already be familiar with the term ; beginning with the introduction of the Intel x86-based MacBook in 2006, it was the quick-release means by which power got delivered to Apple’s portable computers: The concept was cool, albeit proprietary; no longer would tripping over the power cord send your laptop flying across the room. MagSafe went through two initial generations, with MagSafe 2 dimensionally smaller than its predecessor (an  adapter  bridged the gap for legacy power “brick” owners). Beginning in 2015, however, Apple phased it out in favor of  non-proprietary (albeit non
