The Postal Service’s new delivery vehicles aren’t going to win a beauty contest. They’re tall and ungainly. The windshields are vast. Their hoods resemble a duck bill. Their bumpers are enormous.
“You can tell that (the designers) didn’t have appearance in mind,” postal worker Avis Stonum said.
Odd appearance aside, the first handful of Next Generation Delivery Vehicles that rolled onto postal routes in August in Athens, Georgia, are getting rave reviews from letter carriers accustomed to cantankerous older vehicles that lack modern safety features and are prone to breaking down — and even catching fire.
Within a few years, the fleet will have expanded to 60,000, most of them electric models, serving as the Postal Service’s primary delivery truck from Maine to Hawaii.
Dryad Networks Introduces Third-Generation Silvanet Gateways for Optimal Ultra-Early Wildfire Detection and Forest Management (AZO Cleantech)
Dryad Networks, a pioneer in wildfire detection technology, is proud to announce the general availability of its third-generation Silvanet border and mesh gateways, which include new features for optimal ultra-early wildfire detection and forest management.
New molecular engineering technique allows for complex organoids (ScienceDaily)
A new molecular engineering technique can precisely influence the development of organoids. Microbeads made of specifically folded DNA are used to release growth factors or other signal molecules inside the tissue structures. This gives rise to considerably more complex organoids that imitate the re...
100x improvement in sight seen after gene therapy trial (ScienceDaily)
The vision of people with a rare inherited condition that causes them to lose much of their sight early in childhood was 100 times better after they received gene therapy to address the genetic mutation causing it. Some patients even experienced a 10,000-fold improvement in their vision after receiv...
