// Gizmag Emerging Technology Magazine



Eight days after an unmanned Russian Progress cargo ship failed to reach orbit, a Japanese space freighter is on its way to the International Space Station (ISS). Today at 8:26 am EST (10:26 pm JST), the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)'s HTV-6 mission lifted off from the Tanegashima Space Center in southern Japan atop an H-IIB rocket. Carrying 4.5 tons (4.1 tonnes) of supplies, it's scheduled to rendezvous with the station on Tuesday.

Jets stir up stronger aluminum, reduce casting waste
// Gizmag Emerging Technology Magazine



Aluminum is a ubiquitous part of our modern age, but it's surprisingly hard to produce alloys for it without putting up with significant waste from bad mixtures. MIT researchers Antoine Allanore and Samuel R. Wagstaff have been studying how aluminum alloys harden and have come up with a way to use jets to produce more even distributions of copper and manganese in castings.

Ferrari of the air: Latest Avanti EVO shines for UK’s ConnectJets

No. Its spectacularly unusual configuration results from sound aerodynamic thinking and a significant dollop of Italian design flair. The Avanti is often described as the 'Ferrari of the air' or 'Ferrari of the skies'. Its fixed forward wing offloads the tailplane...
