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.

They say it could help anticipate when a man will bite the dust, recognize those at high-danger of dementia and could influence drug, annuities and protection. The group at King's College London say taking a gander at "organic age" is more valuable than utilizing a date of conception. Be that as it may, the work, distributed in Genome Biology, gives no pieces of information with reference to how to moderate the maturing procedure. The test searches for a "comparing so as to mature mark" in your body's phones the conduct of 150 qualities. It was created by at first looking at 54,000 markers of quality movement in solid, yet to a great extent stationary, 25 and 65-year-olds and after that whittling them down to a last 150. Prof Jamie Timmons, from King's College London, told. "There's a solid maturing mark that is basic to every one of our tissues, and it seems, by all accounts, to be prognostic for various things including life span and intellectual decrease.
It would appear that from the age of 40 on wards you can utilize
The research group at King's are aware that being able to check your biological age could have wide-ranging consequences from pensions to insurance premiums.You might decide not to pay so much into your pension and enjoy your life as it is now. Dr Neha Issar-Brown, from the UK's Medical Research Council, said: "This new test holds great potential as with further research, it may help improve the development and evaluation of treatments that prolong good health in older age." Dr Eric Karran, from the charity Alzheimer's Research UK, said: "One of the biggest questions in human biology is how we age, and how this process impacts our wider health and risk for conditions like Alzheimer's.
"There is much interest in developing a blood test for diseases like Alzheimer's but such a test would need rigorously validating to show it was accurate and sensitive before it could be used in the clinic."
