Southeast Asia's only nuclear power plant is located in the province of Bataan in the Philippines, around 40 miles (64 kilometers) from the capital, Manila.Built in the 1970s, the Bataan facility was mothballed before it ever opened amid the political instability of the end of the Ferdinand Marcos dictatorship and in the wake of the 1986 disaster at Ukraine's Chernobyl nuclear power plant, which killed at least 30 people and spewed radioactive fallout over much of the Northern Hemisphere.But now, under the government of the late dictator'sson, Ferdinand "Bongbong" MarcosJr., the Philippines is turning to nuclear power as one solution to satisfying the country's rapidly growing energy demand, and as a way of reducing its reliance on fossil fuels and thereby curbing harmful greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.In February, Philippine Energy Secretary Raphael Lotilla said his country was"paving the way for a safe, sustainable, and responsible nuclear energy program that will secure our nation...

In 2015, Jony Ive, Apple's then-industrial designer, introduced the Apple Watch and explained the design decisions behind the wearable that would eventually revolutionize health technology. "You can't determine a boundary between the physical object and the software," Ive said. Also:Your next Apple Watch could have a feature that transforms healthcareOn the Apple Watch's 10th birthday, this concept of boundary-less-ness still holds. Eight years after the iPhone's debut, Apple created a device that blended into the wearer's life, with technology that tracked steps, maintained connections with friends and family, and even saved a few lives along the way.

SpaceX Launches Atomic Clocks With Lasers To Test Einstein Theory
2025-05-09 02:45:04| Spiritual Career Counseling
ToplineTwo cutting-edge atomic clocks the most accurate ever created have launched on a SpaceX rocket and are on their way to the International Space Station. In the coming months, they will use lasers to synchronize global clocks using global navigation satellite networks. Key Facts The Atomic Clock Ensemble in Space will redefine how we measure time, according to the European Space Agency, which developed it. It will transmit the most accurate time signal ever from space and create an internet of clocks, comparing them to measure the flow of time. That will help scientists study Earths gravity. According to ESA, an atomic clock measures time by observing an atoms transition from an excited state to a ground state with a fixed frequency. The ACES clocks PHARAO and SHM will be used to test fundamental physics from orbit, including Albert Einsteins theory of general relativity and the search for dark matter, said ESA. It will do that by defining how time and space are rel...
