Posted by in category: futurism

Electrify America (EA) increased its total number of chargers to over 4,000 in 2023 – here’s what it’s aiming to achieve in 2024.

In 2022, there were 5.3 million customer charging sessions on Electrify America’s network. In 2023, validated data reflected 10.9 million customer charging sessions – a 106% increase year-over-year.

EA’s EV charging network grew to over 900 stations across 47 US states, the District of Columbia, and six Canadian provinces last year. It also expanded into Hawaii and North Dakota for the first time.

There is a flare of the highest order on the Sun

Posted by in category: futurism

Solar activity entered the growth phase a week earlier than forecast.


На Солнце около половины шестого утра по московскому времени зарегистрирована вспышка высшего балла X. Событий такой мощности не было с 22 февраля, когда произошла пока наиболее сильная вспышка текущего солнечного цикла уровня X6.3. По предварительным данным вспышка спровоцировала выбросы солнечной плазмы в космос, но точное их направление пока не понятно. В поле зрения коронографов вещество появится только примерно через час. Возможность движения облаков плазмы в сторону Земли, предварительно, исключительно высокая — активный центр, где произошел взрыв, расположен прямо напротив Земли. Оценка по наличию выброса и геомагнитный прогноз будут выданы в течение 2 часов.

The structure of a social network is thought to be heritable in many animals, including humans. Here, Rooke and colleagues identify a gene, which they name “degrees of kevin bacon (dokb)”, that is expressed in the central nervous system of Drosophila melanogaster and regulates the structure of social networks.
