NASA said it was interested in UAPs from a security and safety perspective. There was no evidence UAPs are extraterrestrial in origin, NASA added. The study will begin this fall and is expected to take nine months.

The team will gather data on “events in the sky that cannot be identified as aircraft or known natural phenomena — from a scientific perspective,” the agency said.

]]> India’s richest man is pouring more than $80 billion into green energy https://spanish.lifeboat.com/blog/2022/01/indias-richest-man-is-pouring-more-than-80-billion-into-green-energy Mon, 24 Jan 2022 03:22:18 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2022/01/indias-richest-man-is-pouring-more-than-80-billion-into-green-energy

Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani is going big on green energy.

His conglomerate, Reliance Industries, announced Thursday that it would allocate a whopping 6 trillion rupees (approximately $80.6 billion) to renewable power projects in the western Indian state of Gujarat, where it hopes to help generate a million new jobs.

The bulk of that money — about $67.7 billion — will go toward a new power plant and hydrogen system, the company said in a stock exchange filing. Reliance plans to make the massive investment over a 10-to-15-year period, and has already begun scouting for land for the 100-gigawatt capacity site.

]]> Commentary: To avoid the superbug pandemic, we must fix the antibiotics business https://spanish.lifeboat.com/blog/2022/01/commentary-to-avoid-the-superbug-pandemic-we-must-fix-the-antibiotics-business Thu, 20 Jan 2022 05:22:34 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2022/01/commentary-to-avoid-the-superbug-pandemic-we-must-fix-the-antibiotics-business

Doctors must be careful when they consider treating their patients with the newest antibiotics, because every time these drugs are used, bacteria have a chance to build resistance. As a result, new antibiotics are generally used sparingly–leaving antibiotic companies with little chance of selling enough doses to recoup their investment.

If scientists don’t discover new antibiotics soon, the world will eventually return to the pre-antibiotic era when simple cuts could kill.

]]> India Is Doing Space Travel, on a Budget https://spanish.lifeboat.com/blog/2022/01/india-is-doing-space-travel-on-a-budget Sat, 15 Jan 2022 01:23:35 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2022/01/india-is-doing-space-travel-on-a-budget

India is one of only a handful of nations that have sent probes to the moon and Mars. But the most impressive part of its space program is its cost-effectiveness. Unlike other government space organizations, India’s agency is extremely efficient, with the lowest cost-per-kilogram in the industry. Now India is throwing open its doors to private companies and raising its stellar ambitions.

]]> Rise of the machines: China’s struggling industries embrace automation https://spanish.lifeboat.com/blog/2022/01/rise-of-the-machines-chinas-struggling-industries-embrace-automation Fri, 14 Jan 2022 03:23:05 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2022/01/rise-of-the-machines-chinas-struggling-industries-embrace-automation

The pace of replacing humans with robots in industries across China has been accelerating rapidly in the past couple of years, with observations on the ground suggesting that most industrial robotics and intelligent-manufacturing integrated service companies had at least doubled their annual sales in 2021.

Pandemic-led manufacturing export boom, concerns over China’s rapidly ageing society and a desire to save money have all contributed to the trend of replacing workers with machines.

]]> Unblock research bottlenecks with non-profit start-ups https://spanish.lifeboat.com/blog/2022/01/unblock-research-bottlenecks-with-non-profit-start-ups Wed, 12 Jan 2022 05:25:18 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2022/01/unblock-research-bottlenecks-with-non-profit-start-ups

A type of non-profit start-up could be a better way to support projects that enable research. These would have full-time scientists, engineers and executives, and total funding of about US$20 million to $100 million that would last around 5 years — longer than most grants or venture-capital funding rounds allow. And they would be set up to pursue predefined milestones, such as improving the resolution of a measurement system by tenfold, or gathering a pre-specified amount of data. We call them focused research organizations (FROs).

‘Focused research organizations’ can take on mid-scale projects that don’t get tackled by academia, venture capitalists or government labs.
