Beijing (AFP) Aug 21, 2024
Beijing on Wednesday launched a probe into EU subsidies of some dairy products imported into China, the day after the bloc said it planned to impose five-year import duties of up to 36 percent on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs). The investigation, which marks the latest barb in a trade standoff between the two, will cover a range of items including fresh cheese and curd, blue cheese, and som

Ford adjusts EV lineup as it aims to lower vehicle cost

New York (AFP) Aug 21, 2024
Ford announced Wednesday fresh changes to its electric vehicle lineup, including the scuttling of a planned SUV model, lifting shares despite a hefty near-term profitability hit. The adjustments - which reflect a slower-than-expected transition to EVs in North America - will result in around $1.9 billion in cost hits to Ford's earnings, according to a Ford securities filing. A company

Microsoft tweaks how it logs cloud revenue

San Francisco (AFP) Aug 22, 2024
Microsoft on Wednesday lowered its cloud computing unit revenue forecast in a bookkeeping move, shifting money to its "productivity" software business. The accounting change comes as investors are wary about whether the billions Microsoft and tech rivals are spending on artificial intelligence will help or hurt bottom lines. Contacted by AFP, Microsoft said the change is intended to more

Sydney, Australia (SPX) Aug 14, 2024
The world's seabeds remain largely unexplored, with current knowledge being inconsistent. Utilizing remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs) to study seabeds can be costly, dependent on weather conditions, and challenging in deep, remote areas. To address these obstacles, Australian researchers have turned to endangered Australian sea lions (Neophoca cinerea) to carry cameras. The vide

MIT engineers' new theory could improve the design and operation of wind farms

Boston MA (SPX) Aug 22, 2024
The blades of propellers and wind turbines are designed based on aerodynamics principles that were first described mathematically more than a century ago. But engineers have long realized that these formulas don't work in every situation. To compensate, they have added ad hoc "correction factors" based on empirical observations. Now, for the first time, engineers at MIT have developed a co

Quenching the intense heat of a fusion plasma may require a well-placed liquid metal evaporator

Plainsboro NJ (SPX) Aug 22, 2024
Inside the next generation of fusion vessels known as spherical tokamaks, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) envisioned a hot region with flowing liquid metal that is reminiscent of a subterranean cave. Researchers say evaporating liquid metal could protect the inside of the tokamak from the intense heat of the plasma. It's an idea that dates

New Antimatter Nucleus Discovery Sets Heaviest Record Yet

Los Angeles CA (SPX) Aug 22, 2024
Scientists at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have identified the heaviest antimatter nucleus ever observed. This exotic antinucleus, named antihyperhydrogen-4, is composed of four antimatter particles: an antiproton, two antineutrons, and an antihyperon. The discovery comes from an analysis of six billion particle collisions performed at RHIC, a facility designed to recreate conditio
