Cylinder sails promise up to 90% fuel consumption cut for cargo ships
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: energy, government, transportation
Looking like a set of bridge supports that were accidentally installed on a cargo ship, a new wind-driven system by startup CoFlow Jet promises to reduce ship fuel costs by up to 90% using stationary cylinders with no moving parts.
Between rising fuel costs and increasing government mandates requiring shipping companies to go carbon neutral by 2050, there’s a strong push to increase the efficiency of cargo ships while reducing their emissions. One way of doing this is to take a page from the history books and readopt sails to harness the wind.

Maximum Possible Information in the universe?
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in category: futurism
I remember hearing about this in one of the programs in discovery science. The physicist claimed that the maximum possible information in the universe is $10^{10^{123}}$ whereas the maximum possible information that can be known by man is $10^{10^{90}}$. Can anyone explain to me how can we arrive at such a specific number, and also how can information be represented by only numbers?

Will implants that meld minds with machines enhance human abilities?
Posted by Dan Breeden in categories: computing, neuroscience
Brain computer interface will have to be significantly more advanced before there’s an enhancement of cognitive abilities.
Devices that let people with paralysis walk and talk are rapidly improving. Some see a future in which we alter memories and download skills – but major challenges remain.
