The aviation market is currently facing significant challenges due to delays caused by supply chain constraints for both Boeing and Airbus. Boeing has been grappling with difficulties surrounding its star plane, the 737 MAX, prompting a major safety incident on Alaska Airlines in January. As a result, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has frozen Boeing’s
Semiconductor moiré superlattices have proven to be intriguing material structures for the study of correlated electron states and quantum physics phenomena. A recent study conducted by researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) delves deeper into the underlying physics of these structures and proposes a new theoretical framework. This article aims to analyze the study
With the rise of driverless cars and planes, the future of transportation is rapidly changing. However, concerns about safety still loom large. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported hundreds of crashes involving autonomous control, resulting in fatalities and injuries. Testing alone cannot guarantee the safety of these systems, as flaws may go unnoticed. However,
The news media industry has been experiencing a turbulent period, with layoffs becoming a common occurrence. This downturn seems to be a recurring theme throughout its history, presenting an unsettling reality.
