A solar-powered airplane finished crossing the United States on Saturday, landing in New York City after flying over the Statue of Liberty during its historic bid to circle the globe, the project team said. The spindly, single-seat experimental aircraft, dubbed Solar Impulse 2, arrived at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport at about 4 a.m. local time after it took off about five hours beforehand at Lehigh Valley International Airport in Pennsylvania, the team reported on the airplane's website. Such a pleasure to land in New York! For the 14th time we celebrate sustainability," said the project's co-founder Andre Borschberg on Twitter after flying over the city and the Statue of Liberty during the 14th leg of the trip around the globe. The Swiss team flying the aircraft in a campaign to build support for clean energy technologies hopes eventually to complete its circumnavigation in Abu Dhabi, where the journey began in March 2015.

Developing outflows from the blazing of fossil fills are undermining the viability of radiocarbon dating, as per new research. The dating strategy has been utilized for quite a long time to precisely focus the age of an extensive variety of relics. Be that as it may, utilizing fossil fills pumps a kind of carbon into the climate that befuddles the dating strategy. Researchers say that by 2050, new garments could have the same radiocarbon date as things 1,000 years of age. Grown in the late 1940s, the strategy measures carbon-14, a radioactive type of the component. It's delivered in the environment and after that consumed by plants through photosynthesis. Creatures that eat the plants ingest the carbon-14. Researchers have the capacity to work out the period of practically anything natural by looking at the level of carbon-14 to non-radioactive carbon in the example.
The strategy has been utilized to precisely focus the times of a huge number of ancient rarities and to reveal craftsmanship misrepresentation. Maybe the most well known situation where radiocarbon dating was utilized was as a part of the examination of the Shroud of Turin, which researchers in 1988 decided had started in the thirteenth century, over 1,200 years after the passing of Christ - whose picture it should represent.However, the utilization of carbon based fossil energizes, for example, coal and oil subsequent to the mechanical transformation have expanded the measure of non-radioactive carbon in the climate. As the emanations develop, so does the weakening impact on carbon-14 and the exactness of the maturing system is lost. "As carbon-14 rots after some time the division will diminish so that is the means by which we utilize it for dating," the paper's creator Dr Heather Graven told.
to aggregate carbon, on the off chance that we are including non-radioactive carbon and that is what's going on with fossil energizes, we get this weakening impact." The study took a gander at the possible carbon emanations pathways throughout the following century and proposed that the increments in non-radioactive carbon by 2020 could begin to affect the dating method.
"On the off chance that we did any present estimations on new items, they will wind up having the same portion of radiocarbon to aggregate carbon as something that is lost it after some time because of rot," said Dr Graven. "So on the off chance that we simply measure the division they'll seem as though they have the same age for radiocarbon dating." At ebb and flow rates of outflows increment, as per the examination, another bit of dress in 2050 would have the same cell based date as a robe worn by William the Conqueror 1,000 years prior.
"It truly relies on upon the amount of emanations expand or lessening throughout the following century, as far as how solid this weakening impact gets," said Dr Graven.
"On the off chance that we decrease outflows quickly we may stay around a carbon age of 100 years in the climate however in the event that we emphatically expand emanations we could get to an age of 1,000 years by 2050 and around 2,000 years by 2100."
