If you were to travel across Nigeria, you would probably find yourself appeasing your hunger and thirst through Mai Shayi and Indomie sellers that are common across the country. From making noodles to fixing up beverages, these fast food hubs are especially common in the Northern region of the country, and the sellers usually rely on small-sized generators to keep their running business running at night.

Now thanks to a young inventor named Usman Dalhatu, CEO of Dalsman Tech, a futuristic-looking solar-powered kiosk, called iCart Solution, can help sellers continue their work without the need for generators.

When the well is dry, we know the worth of water.

Deep underneath the Alps, on the Swiss-French border, something significant just happened in the world of physics. The Large Hadron Collider, Earth's most powerful particle accelerator, was restarted on Friday morning after a three-year hiatus for upgrades.

Consisting of a ring 27 kilometers in circumference, the machine is made of superconducting magnets chilled to ‑271.3°C which is colder than outer space. It works by smashing tiny particles together to allow scientists to observe them, and to see what's inside.
It may sound like the stuff of science fiction, but the revamped collider will ultimately allow mankind to observe dark matter, physicists hope.
Back in 2011 the Large Hadron Collider, located 100 meters underground at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), helped scientists prove the existence of an subatomic particle called the Higgs boson -- which is thought to be a fundamental building block of the universe dating back to the Big Bang billions of years ago.

Ola Electric is recalling 1,441 scooters of a specific batch, one of which had burst in flames while parked on the roadside in a busy area in Pune last month. The company said the incident was likely “isolated”.
“Our internal investigation into the March 26 vehicle fire incident in Pune is ongoing and the preliminary assessment reveals that the thermal incident was likely an isolated one. As a pre-emptive measure, we will be conducting a detailed diagnostics and health check of the scooters in that specific batch and therefore are issuing a voluntary recall of 1,441 vehicles,” it said.
Ola Electric said the scooters being recalled will be inspected by its service engineers and will go through a diagnostics check across all battery, thermal and safety systems. The firm said its battery pack already complies with and is tested for AIS 156, the latest proposed standard for India, in addition to being compliant with the European standard ECE 136.

The Boring Company will start "full-scale" testing of hyperloop as early as this year, the company revealed in a tweet following an update from founder Elon Musk.

The hyperloop was first proposed by Musk in a white paper in 2013 as a theoretical concept for a transportation system that sends passengers in autonomous electric pods through a vacuum-sealed tube traveling at speeds higher than 600 mph.

In another recent tweet, Musk explains that "from a known physics standpoint, hyperloop is the fastest possible way of getting from one city center to another for distances less than ~2000 miles. Starship is faster for longer journeys."

The world's first urban airport that will allow 'flying taxis' to take off and land in the busy areas of cities has opened up in the U.K., World Economic Forum (WEF) reported.

While engineers and designers are working on vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft to make them feasible for rapid urban transport, the U.K.-based startup Urban-Air Port Ltd (UAP) is working to demonstrate that the infrastructure needed to make these urban aerial transport centers an operational reality is not as complicated as it may seem. Last year, we reported that an eVTOL maker was also getting involved in building these airports to solve the infrastructure hurdle.

Now, UAP's first pop-up airport, dubbed Air One, was completed in 15 months, including the planning and building of the airport.

After a whopping 42 unicorns in 2021, the milestone of a 100 unicorns was just a touching distance away for the Indian startup ecosystem. By the end of 2021, India had doubled its unicorn count to 84, and two publicly-listed companies — MapmyIndia and EaseMyTrip — also joined the unicorn club. And in the first quarter of 2022, this number grew by 13 more to 99 startups with a valuation of over $1 Bn.
Now, with the entry of neobanking startup Open, which raised a Series D funding round from IIFL with participation from Temasek, Tiger Global and 3one4 Capital. With its $50 Mn fundraise, the startup claims to have become the 100th unicorn in India.

According to reports, a New Zealand-based company has offered its employees unlimited leaves.

The software company will reportedly allow its employees to take leaves for as long as possible in what is being described as a "high trust model".

The company named Actionstep allows its staff to take a month off in the year. The Auckland company will allow people to take leaves in order to ensure they are in a happy frame of mind. Reports claim LinkedIn and Netflix have also experimented with the model.

Back in August of 2021, news surfaced that the US Navy was working with a U.S.-Spanish aerospace company called Skydweller on an uncrewed aircraft also called Skydweller, which is capable of staying in the air for 90 days without needing to land thanks to large strips of solar panels on both of its wings. Since then, Skydweller has been busy most recently raising funds for its innovative airplane.

A $14 million contract
Last month, the firm was awarded a $14 million contract with the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), in conjunction with U.S. Navy, to advance and integrate technologies in support of Skydweller’s development, according to a press release by the firm.

Marine scientists aboard the Exploration Vessel (E/V) Nautilus have discovered an ancient dried-out lake bed that looks like a “yellow brick road.” The appearance of the ground led researchers to describe it as “the road to Atlantis.”

The exploration took place during the research team's study on the seamounts - underwater mountains formed by volcanic activity - in an area called Liliʻuokalani ridge in the Papahānaumokuakea Marine National Monument (PMNM) in the Pacific Ocean. The team is using a remotely operated vehicle in their investigation.

On May 4, 2022, NASA's InSight lander logged its 1,222nd #Martian day of its #mission. It was also the day its #seismometer logged a #magnitude five quake on #Mars, the strongest #humanity has recorded on any #planet so far, #NASA said in a post on the #JPL website.

InSight landed on Martian soil in November 2018 and has been tasked with knowing more about the deep interiors of the #Red Planet. To do so, it employs a seismometer called Seismic Experiment for Interior Structure (SEIS) which looks nothing more than a covered cake tin. Under the domed, wind, and thermal shield, SEIS, keeps a tab of all seismic activity and has cataloged more than 1,300 smaller quakes to date.

The blockchain behind stablecoin TerraUSD, or UST, and its affiliated LUNA token has resumed activity after a nine-hour halt on Friday. The Terra blockchain had stopped processing new transactions for the second time in less than a day after UST and LUNA collapsed. Several crypto exchanges, including WazirX, CoinDCX and CoinSwitch Kuber, delisted LUNA from their platforms on Friday.

In the southwest corner of the Amazon jungle, a team of scientists uncovered evidence of ancient ruins of eleven previously unknown settlements decorated with vast pyramids and canals, according to a study published in the journal Nature.

Thanks to millions of lasers fired from a helicopter flying over the dense Amazon basin, the discovery was made.

The researchers reported that the previously unknown settlements were created by a pre-Hispanic civilization, ending a scientific debate and archaeological dogma about whether the location could support a large population.
