ScotRail has been named as one of the most reliable train companies in the UK in a new study. Analysis of official figures for the UK’s 24 major train operators, focusing on the percentage of train journeys either cancelled or delayed by 15 minutes or more, showed ScotRail with the fourth best performance. The study said on average 3.61 per cent of ScotRail journeys between January 2021 and September 2023 were seriously late or cancelled, although that still meant 1,695,445 minutes of delay,...
First Light Fusion is developing an inertial fusion with a pulsed process. They fire physical projectiles at high speeds like 40 kilometers per second to generate fusion OR they may use high-power lasers to generate the fusion. They are working on methods with the targets and other systems to amplify the pressures generated and increase
In their ongoing quest to develop a range of methods for managing plasma so it can be used to generate electricity in a process known as fusion, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have shown how two old methods can be combined to provide greater flexibility.
The idea that the universe is expanding dates from almost a century ago. It was first put forward by Belgian cosmologist Georges Lemaître (1894–1966) in 1927 and confirmed observationally by American astronomer Edwin Hubble (1889-1953) two years later. Hubble observed that the redshift in the electromagnetic spectrum of the light received from celestial objects was directly proportional to their distance from Earth, which meant that bodies farther away from Earth were moving away faster and the...

A Finnish university has developed a new tool for birdwatchers in Finland.
On Monday, when the moon passes between the sun and the Earth and causes a total solar eclipse, more than 30 million people across the United States will be under the moon’s shadow for the otherworldly experience. But the cosmic spectacle won’t just be an awe-inspiring sight; it will also be an opportunity for members of the public to get involved in cutting-edge science. From using a smartphone app to help create a movie of the eclipse to gathering information about the shape of the sun and...
Since the 1970s, modern antibiotic discovery has been experiencing a lull. Now the World Health Organization has declared the antimicrobial resistance crisis as one of the top 10 global public health threats.
While she was out for a walk a few years ago, Duveen Robinson, a 90-year-old Iowa City resident, took a nasty tumble when she stepped in a pothole. Robison chipped off an inch-long piece of her kneecap and was hardly able to walk. Later that day, however, she used a topical CBD and THC ointment
There are many ways that AI can help speed up web development. We just posted a course on the freeCodeCamp.org YouTube channel that will show you how to convert Figma designs into working code with just one click using AI. Ania Kubów developed this course. She is one of our
San Francisco is still relying on floppy disks to run some parts of its operations until 2030. San Francisco is not yet done using obsolete, retro technology known as 'floppy disks,' particularly for some of its operations on the city trains.
A new study finds that natural gas is the most effective energy source meeting growing energy demands affordably and reliably, while balancing environmental and human impact. The "Grading the Grid" study by the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, a pro-free market nonprofit, and Northwood University rates natural gas, coal, petroleum, nuclear, hydroelectric, wind, solar and geothermal generation sources on their reliability, environmental and human impact, cost, innovation and market...
