this week. is it a boat or is it a plane? i m onboard the ferry that can fly. why has nobody made an electric hydrofoil flying ferry before? i think the main reason is that it s freaking hard. we re in india, where solar dryers are battling food waste. and an eye in the sky on energy use. nice outfit, by the way. thanks. i ve been taking the temperature with the world s thermometer to assess the climate impact of all our actions. stockholm, capital of sweden, and a city of islands, 1a of them to be precise, which makes water transport a big thing around these parts. so today i ve decided to take the ferry. but this is no ordinary ferry because this ferry. ..can fly. this is the candela p 12, the prototype of a ferry which should go into service injuly 202a. and at its cruising speed of 25 knots, narrow wings called hydrofoils, provide huge amounts of lift. in the same way that aircraft wings can get a plane off the ground, these wings can raise the whole hull above the surfac
Hello, im matthew amroliwala, welcome to verified live, three hours of breaking stories and checking out the truth behind them. The us soldier travis king who was being held in north korea is back in us custody. Us Media Reports say he is now in china. Hours earlier, north korea said it would deport private king who ran into the country across the Demilitarized Zone injuly. He had been due to be flown to the us to face military Disciplinary Proceedings when he escaped his escort and entered north korean territory. Live now to our washington correspondent gary odonoghue. In terms of the very latest, take us through what we have learned over the last few hours . We now know that the last few hours . We now know that the United States has travis king in its custody. We dont know where he is at this moment in time. There are plenty of Media Reports here saying that he exited north korea via china. We cannot confirm that officially at that point in time. We are waiting to hear, i think perh
and at its cruising speed of 25 knots, narrow wings called hydrofoils, provide huge amounts of lift. in the same way that aircraft wings can get a plane off the ground, these wings can raise the whole hull above the surface. i ve started to notice more and more boats and even windsurfs and kite surfs having these foils underneath the board, so the entire thing can lift out of the water. and because hardly any of the boat is having to push through the water, it doesn t need as powerful a motor. and that means there s something else that s very special about this craft. it s electric. these small propellers are all that are needed to get the ferry up to speed and its onboard batteries give it a range of 50 nautical miles, all of which promises to make waterborne transport a whole lot cleaner and a whole lot greener. normal boats consume an awful lot of fuel and they are extremely inefficient, compared to land based transport. and this is because the boat is trying to push its w
An artificial intelligence-powered method for detecting tumor DNA in blood has shown unprecedented sensitivity in predicting cancer recurrence. The new technology has the potential to improve cancer care with the very early detection of recurrence and close monitoring of tumor response during therapy.
