“There is no more business as usual in the energy sector. There are a number of low-carbon technologies about to achieve critical mass decades before some companies expect”, says James Leaton, head of research at Carbon Tracker.
The holographic principle tells us that we can achieve the same physics by reducing the number of dimensions by one and removing gravity.
Airbus is currently working at short-range, electrically powered helicopters, closer in form to a toy drone. With electrically-driven ducted fans, they could be quiet enough to hop across city centers, and Airbus claims they will be as cheap to use as a taxi, thanks to the savings that come with the ride-sharing culture.

After recent events, we're all ready to hop aboard the next flight to Mars. But before us Earthlings embark on a seven-month journey to the Red Planet, we need to understand how the harsh conditions of space can affect our bodies.
Carbon dioxide isn't the only one that matters, and the gases vary widely in potency and duration.
In the last few years, conservationists and others have turned to big data to get the big picture on environmental degradation, helping to wrangle answers to some of the globe’s most pressing problems.
A sequence of images captured by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft last month are the most detailed pictures ever taken of Saturn’s famous rings, revealing complex, unexplained bands and the movements of dozens of tiny icy moonlets spinning around the planet.
The telescope, located 5,250 meters above sea level, will detect and gather precise data on primordial gravitational waves in the Northern Hemisphere. It is expected to be operational by 2021.
By using a space-time quirk first predicted by Einstein, the Hubble Space Telescope has also made it clear that our theories to explain the evolving universe are far from complete.
The Dalai Lama often recommends a particular form of Buddhist meditation called 'analytic meditation'. In this type of meditation, he said, one needs meditate on the information accumulated by the mind from various sources and use reasoning to decode and decrypt it.
