at best, highly unlikely only a few years ago. New planes, new routes, new partnerships and new strategies are the name of the game for the year ahead … not to mention that you’ll definitely be hearing more about Greenland than perhaps ever before. ...
The atmosphere is an incredibly complicated system. When you have 5.5 quadrillion tons (4.99 quadrillion metric tons) of gas and countless local, global, terrestrial and extraterrestrial factors stirring it into motion, it's difficult to understand how it all works. Even advancedcomputermodels lose ...
Before the actual full release, the phase of "stress testing" commences. Unit level soak testing requires 100's of billions of cycles (1011) per week, as does the top-level random soak testing. At the system-level, emulation is continued at a trillion cycles (1012) ...
20, 2023 shows a manufacturing base of Chinese electric car manufacturer NIO in Hefei, east China's Anhui Province. (Xinhua/Guo Chen) NIO, one of China's fastest-growing electric vehicle makers, secured billions of yuan of state capital investment from Hefei in 2020 when the company had ...
Billions of cubic feet equivalent is a natural gas term used to measure how much natural gas is either in reserves or delivered over extended periods.
“The confinement time is really large in the sun … [there’s also] a much lower probability for each fusion event, but that’s ok because it’s so huge and there’s so many nuclei in the sun.” The sun experiences 100 million quadrillion quadrillion fusion reactions every second, and...
Further, there seems to be broad agreement that it is in everyone’s long term interests to move away from fossil fuels as a primary energy source (these resources are finite, at some point they will become very costly to extract, and there are pollution/health issues associated with burning...
You’d only say “hundreds” or “thousands” or “millions” if you weren’t specifying a particular number. In other words, you can correctly say, “billions of people” or “trillions of dollars,” as long as you’re not including an exact figure. But, if you were to say an exact...
“dinosaur killer”Chicxulub asteroidmay strike Earth once about every 500 million years. The last such impact was 66 million years ago. But none of these huge asteroids wiped out life on Earth completely. They are still dangerous, though. Such an impact can kill many billions of living ...
But a hot bar also has kinetic energy. Inside an iron bar, there are billions of ironatomsheld together in a rigid structure called a crystal lattice. It's a bit like a climbing frame with atoms at the joints. Although the atoms are pretty much fixed in the same place, they are const...
