Solar powered bikes for use in fighting poaching. đ
Whatâs even more badass than defending endangered animals from illegal poaching? How about rolling up on a stealthy solar-powered bush bike made specifically to sneak up on poachers and bust their asses? These electric motorcycles are light, nimble, rechargeable and best of all zero-emissions. Get wrecked, poachers!

DARPAâs Robotic Autonomy in Complex Environments with Resiliency â Simulation (RACER-Sim) project is seeking innovations in technologies that bridge the gap from simulation to the real world and significantly reduce the cost of off-road autonomy development. DARPA invites proposals for promising solutions that support these goals.
DARPA has executed contract options to continue the Manta Ray project that began in 2020. The effort seeks to demonstrate innovative technologies allowing payload-capable unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) to operate on long-duration, long-range missions in ocean environments. The three prime contractors will be Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, Martin Defense Group, LLC (formerly Navatek, LLC), and Metron, Inc.
Thatâs not to say Taiwan is the only player in the semiconductor supply chain. The U.S. still holds dominant positions, notably in chip design and electronic software tools; ASML Holding NV of the Netherlands has a monopoly on the machines needed to fabricate the best chips; Japan is a key supplier of equipment, chemicals and wafers.
U.S., European and Japanese automakers are lobbying their governments for help, with Taiwan and TSMC being asked to step in. Chancellor Angela Merkel and President Emmanuel Macron discussed the potential for shortages last year and agreed on the need to accelerate Europeâs push to develop its own chip industry, according to a French official with knowledge of the matter.
The auto industryâs pleas illustrate how TSMCâs chip-making skills have handed Taiwan political and economic leverage in a world where technology is being enlisted in the great power rivalry between the U.S. and China â a standoff unlikely to ease under the administration of Joe Biden.
Taiwanâs grip on the semiconductor business â despite being under constant threat of invasion by Beijing â also represents a choke point in the global supply chain thatâs giving new urgency to plans from Tokyo to Washington and Beijing to increase self-reliance.
Hyosung Chairman Hyun-Joon Cho has begun to activate the hydrogen economy by preparing to construct the worldâs largest liquid hydrogen factory following a large-scale investment in carbon fiber last year.
Hyosung joined hands with the Linde Group, a global chemical company specializing in industrial gas, to establish a value chain encompassing the production and transportation of liquid hydrogen and installation and operation of charging stations by investing KRW 300 billion in all by 2022. For this purpose, an MOU was signed by Hyosung Chairman Hyun-Joon Cho and Linde Korea Chairman Baek-Seok Seong on April 28 at the head office of Hyosung in Mapo, Seoul.
To expand charging infrastructure by constructing a liquid hydrogen factory with annual production capacity of 13000 tons in Yongyeon by 2022.
