Hungarian Astronaut Builds Super-Muscles with Futuristic EMSCULPT NEO Device

Hungarian Astronaut Builds Super-Muscles with Futuristic EMSCULPT NEO Device

Astronauts face rapid muscle and bone loss in zero gravity, so Hungary’s new space traveler Kapu built an astronaut-specific fitness program. As BTL’s press release explains, EMSCULPT NEO was added to Kapu’s intensive training to counteract the muscle atrophy of orbit prnewswire.com. “Studies show astronauts lose up to 30% of muscle mass in orbit,” notes Dr. Nóra Sydó of Budapest’s Semmelweis University, who led Kapu’s training prnewswire.com. Dr. Sydó – also doctor to Hungary’s Olympic swim team – reports that with EMSCULPT NEO, medical tests showed “muscle hypertrophy, improved body composition and increased cardiopulmonary fitness” beyond what standard workouts achieved prnewswire.com. In effect, the device delivered a simulated high-rep workout: pulsed electromagnetic and RF energy cause muscles to contract reflexively, giving an extra “boost” to strength and endurance without extra time on the treadmill.

Superwood vs Steel: How This “10x-Strong” Wood Could Revolutionize Construction

Superwood vs Steel: How This “10x-Strong” Wood Could Revolutionize Construction

“Superwood” is not a sci-fi material but the latest engineered timber from InventWood, a Frederick, MD startup. Based on a breakthrough by Prof. Liangbing Hu, Superwood is ordinary wood transformed into a super-strong material timesofindia.indiatimes.com inc.com. After Hu’s 2018 Nature paper on transparent wood, he spent years refining the process. In 2021 InventWood spun out of academia, and today it holds 140+ patents on wood densification. InventWood CEO Alex Lau says the treated wood “behaves like wood but is much stronger and lighter,” envisioning buildings that are “lighter, cheaper to build, faster to build, and safer to live in” inc.com. Indeed, steel has a typical tensile strength ~400 MPa, whereas Superwood can reach ~600 MPa inc.com – a huge leap for a wood-based product.

QuantumScape Skyrockets 200% on Solid-State Battery Breakthrough – Revolution or Risk?

Solid-state batteries replace the liquid electrolyte of Li-ion cells with a solid ceramic or glass separator, promising big performance gains. They boost energy density and could extend EV range to ~600 milesevmagazine.com. They also enable faster charging and vastly longer lifespans – some developers claim 10–15 minute 10–80% charges and 8,000–10,000 charge cyclesevmagazine.com.
