Ship Date For The Apple Car Pushed Back a Year To 2021

According to The Information, the ship date for the Apple car has been pushed back.

Originally slated to begin shipping some time in 2020, now the Apple car is expected to be shipped in 2021.

A one year delay doesn’t seem like much but with autonomous driving technology advancing so rapidly, a year could represent a major difference in the final design and capabilities of the Apple car.

As development on the Apple car continues, CEO Tim Cook is talking with car companies about potential manufacturing partnerships.

It’s public knowledge Cook has met with BMW but nothing has come of the conversations as of right now.

NASA Just Tested a Powerful New Thruster That Could One Day Send Humans to Mars

NASA’s latest propulsion experiment could reshape the future of deep-space travel. Engineers at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory recently tested a powerful lithium-fed electromagnetic thruster that may one day help carry astronauts to Mars faster and more efficiently than current spacecraft systems. A New Kind of Engine for Deep Space The experimental engine is known as a magnetoplas

Inconel Alloys vs Stainless Steel: Which is Stronger?

Are Inconel alloys stronger than stainless steel? The answer depends on how strength is measured. Tensile strength, yield strength, hardness, compressive strength, heat exposure, forming method, and treatment can all change the result. In practical terms, Inconel vs stainless steel is less about one material “winning” and more about choosing the alloy that gives the part the right form, fit, funct

ORNL PM-HIP Breakthrough Targets Larger Critical Metal Parts

Oak Ridge National Laboratory has developed a manufacturing method that could make large critical metal parts faster to produce, easier to customize, and less dependent on conventional casting and forging supply chains. The U.S. Department of Energy laboratory announced on May 14 that its researchers used additive manufacturing to fabricate custom canisters for powder metallurgical hot isostati

Best Materials for High-Temperature Aerospace Applications

Every turbine blade, exhaust duct, and fastener in an aircraft engine faces a punishing combination of heat, stress, and corrosive gas. And the high-temperature aerospace materials that survive those conditions aren't interchangeable. If you pick the wrong alloy, the part can distort, crack, or fails mid-flight. Choosing the best materials for high-temperature aerospace applications starts with un
