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. The solar cr...
Elephants have improved protections against malignancy that can forestall tumors shaping, say researchers. They were attempting to clarify why the creatures have lower levels of disease than would be normal by their size. The group at the University of Utah said "nature has effectively made sense of how to forestall growth" and plan to devise new medicines. Be that as it may, specialists said the emphasis ought to be on the "silly" and "crazy" things people do to build hazard. There is a line of reasoning that says each cell can get to be malignant so the a greater amount of them you have, the more probable you are to get disease. So if an elephant has 100 times the same number of cells as a man then the storage compartment swinging well evolved creatures ought to be 100 times more inclined to have the illness. But then the investigation, distributed in the Journal of the American Medical Association, indicated just 5% of elephants kick the...
