Classic pickup trucks have been wiped out by Tesla, according to Dave Lee. The Cybertruck design is so much superior to any other pickup truck design that it is almost unavoidable that the traditional pickup truck will die a slow death. Let us take a closer look at what he has to say about it.

Since Tesla’s Cybertruck is their most innovative vehicle design yet, any other firm will have a tough time emulating its design. In a recent interview, Tesla’s principal designer discussed the Cybertruck: “It is a return to the fundamentals. Is a pickup vehicle what you are looking for? Do you have any ideas? What would you look for if you arrived from Mars?”

Can you run out of brain space? That’s the wrong way to visualize memory, scientists say. Instead, older people face the challenge of sifting through more information.

The Mars Ascent Vehicle (MAV) will help retrieve samples collected by the Perseverance rover.

Tae Seok Moon, associate professor of energy, environmental and chemical engineering at the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis, has taken a big step forward in his quest to design a modular, genetically engineered kill switch that integrates into any genetically engineered microbe, causing it to self-destruct under certain defined conditions.

His research was published Feb. 3 in the journal Nature Communications.

(Inside Science) — On the fictional Star Wars planet Tatooine, moisture farmers erect tall white structures called vaporators to pull valuable water from the desert air. Now researchers on planet Earth have built a device to perform the same basic task. They estimate a suitcase-sized version could harvest enough drinking water per day for a family of four. The device is described in a paper published in the journal Science.

The team, made up of scientists from the University of California, Berkeley and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, expects the device to be most useful in arid regions and in areas where the traditional water supply is polluted. The system relies on the unique properties of a relatively new type of material called a metal organic framework, or MOF.
