There's a new Ferrari in town, and Business Insider recently checked it out.
Unlike all the other mid-engined sports cars in its direct lineage, the 488 GTB has a turbocharged V8 engine: 3.9 liters, making 661 horsepower.
Turbochargers use engine exhaust to power turbines that compress air before feeding it into the cylinders: greater air mass means more power.
The knock on turbos is that they "lag" — the power doesn't come on as fast in response to the throttle as in old-school no-turbo engines. Читать дальше...
Researchers have used 3D bioprinting to create a new material that could be used for cartilage implants. Researchers from the Imperial College London and the University of Milano-Bicohcca have 3D printed a shock-absorbing bio-glass that mimics all the properties of cartilage.

Beijing will build its next line of defense on the ocean floor.
As defense analysts brood over the evolving military balance in the western Pacific, considerations related to undersea warfare keep coming to the fore. Given the lethality of modern antiship cruise missiles, surface combatants of all types may well be scarce on the future naval battlefield. Moreover, precision strikes on airbases (and the inherent vulnerability of aircraft... Читать дальше...

The six-part series, which launches with two episodes Wednesday, May 18, and continues with two episodes a night for the next two Wednesdays, not only makes science accessible, but it’s also fun to watch, even if you’re an empty-headed TV critic who took earth science...

"There's no exit strategy for this."
Around one month ago, I chronicled the exasperating reality of the U.S. military’s relegation to operational hand-holding in Iraq. Sure enough, as more time passes, the magnitude of the challenges therein is becoming clearer. Recent events like the (mostly peaceful and brief) occupation of the Iraqi parliament by followers of prominent Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr are illustrative of the political disarray gripping Baghdad.

The small Vermont college that Jane Sanders used to run is going out of business — done-in by a $10 million real estate deal that she spearheaded.
In Evie Ladin’s case, recording the music in “Jump the Fire” meant capturing the enthusiasm of a live performance that includes virtuosic banjo playing, a world-renowned “body music” artist and a singer who had never performed these new songs vocally without physically playing them on banjo at the same time. Finishing that sort of challenge deserves a celebration, which is how Ladin is kicking off her trio’s CD release tour on Thursday, May 19, at Freight & Salvage in Berkeley. With her Evie Ladin Band... Читать дальше...
Burlington College, crushed beneath weight of the property purchase made in 2010 while Jane Sanders was college president, will close at the end of May.
