Scientists have a new and clearer view of chronic pain in the brain. Over several months, electrodes implanted in the four people’s brains picked up specific signs of their persistent pain. This detailed look at chronic pain, published May 22 in Nature Neuroscience, suggests new ways to reduce intolerable symptoms. Catherine Martucci, a neuroscientist who studies chronic pain at Duke University School of Medicine, said the approach “gives the brain a way to track pain,” Science News reported. Chronic pain is very common. From 2019 to 2020, more American adults were diagnosed with chronic pain than with diabetes, depression and hypertension, researchers reported at the JAMA Network Open May 16. Pain is also incredibly complex, complex, influenced by the body, brain, situations, emotions and expectations, says Martucci. This complexity makes chronic pain invisible to outsiders and very difficult to treat. One treatment is electrical stimulation of the brain. As part of a clinical

Alpine doesn’t keep Lotus dry. Geely owns Lotus and Lynk & Co, Zeekr, Volvo and, importantly, Polestar. Geely has traditionally kept its various brands separate, but in recent years it has become more shared. Polestar has several SUVs and crossovers that Lotus can take advantage of. Interestingly, Geely and Renault have their own joint venture called “Horse”. Like Porsche and his BMW, the French brand hasn’t finished developing internal combustion engines yet and has launched this new venture to create more efficient internal combustion and hybrid powertrains. Both automakers are fully committed to electrification, so it remains to be seen how this will affect Alpine and Lotus in the future. As you may know, Alpine is coming to America, not as fast as some expected . By the time the first units arrive at his AutoNation dealers, the brand will be fully electric. So the first US product will probably be the A290_ß electric hatch. Hyundai Ionic 5N There will be some competition fo

Euro 7 proposals on pollutant emissions could lead to 4-10 times higher direct costs than proposals cited by the European Commission, according to new study A new study shows that the Euro 7 proposals for pollutant emissions could lead to direct cost increases four to ten times higher than those cited by the European Commission. The proposed Euro 7 regulations will increase the cost of manufacturing cars, vans, trucks and buses. A study by Frontier Economics calculated the cost per vehicle to be around €2,000 for passenger cars and vans with internal combustion engines and around €12,000 for diesel trucks and buses. . These figures are 4-10 times higher than the European Commission’s estimates in the Euro 7 impact assessment (180-450 euros for cars and vans and 2,800 euros for trucks and buses). These estimates include only direct manufacturing costs, primarily equipment and investments. It is important to note that these additional costs do not match the purchase price. Rather, it

2024 BMW i4 The xDrive40 joins the lineup with a 396 hp, all-wheel drive powertrain and a starting price of $62,595. 2024 BMW 7 series Also added is the 750e plug-in hybrid, which starts at $107,995 and has an estimated electric-only range of over 35 miles. of 2024 BMW i7 line-up Add to that the rear-drive eDrive50, which starts at $106,695. BMW The luxury brand today announced plans to add several new models to its i4, i7 and 7 Series lineup for model year 2024, and dealers are expected to be busy this summer. 2024 i4 xDrive40 The new 2024 BMW i4 xDrive40, due to join the i4 family sometime in the third quarter of this year, is essentially an all-wheel drive version of the rear-wheel drive eDrive40. Thanks to the electric motor that powers the front axle, the i4 xDrive40 provides more traction and an additional 61 horsepower (396 horsepower total). BMW Along with 443 lb-ft of torque, the i4 xDrive40 accelerates to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds, according to BMW. It uses an 8

Detroit — ford motor . The company expects internal combustion engine sales and margins to grow for at least the next two years, until the industry-wide shift to electric vehicles begins to shrink business in internal combustion engine vehicles. Executives on Monday released outlooks for the company’s gasoline-engine business, known as Ford Blue, its Model eEV division and its Ford Pro commercial division. capital market day Events for investors and media. Ford also reaffirmed its full-year 2023 guidance of $9 billion to $11 billion in pre-interest and tax adjusted earnings. Kumar Galhotra, head of Ford Blue, said profit margins for internal combustion engines will rise to at least 10% by 2026 from the current 7.2%. These growth plans are driven by the company’s focus on the profitable automotive segment. High profit, low cost derivatives. “We have long runways in the truck, off-road and performance segments,” Galhotra said. Still, he said Ford Blue’s sales volumes and margins ar

Developed new manufacturing process supplier Major Magna International and the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory may soon be able to reduce the dependence of aluminum parts suppliers on virgin aluminum. This process (shear-assisted machining and extrusion) allows companies to collect scrap and leftover aluminum trimmings and process them directly into materials suitable for automotive standards. Recycled aluminum, typically used in automotive parts, is added to freshly mined aluminum to ensure higher quality. But a reduction in the need for new aluminum would cut costs for companies. carbon emissions Up to 90 percent reduction compared to conventional processes, according to Magna National Laboratory and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Staff reporter John Irwin spoke with Aldo Van Gelder, 57, general manager of Magna’s corporate research and development center, about the partnership. Below is an edited excerpt. question: What inspired this par

London, May 19th: Rolls-Royce today announced that it has successfully completed the first test of its UltraFan technology demonstrator at its facility in Derby, UK. The first tests he carried out using 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). This is a historic moment for Rolls-Royce. It is the first time in 54 years that an aero engine manufacturer has tested a brand new engine his architecture, proving what can be achieved when industry and government work together. The Honda e:Ny1 electric SUV makes its global debut with a powerful new powertrain and eye-catching styling. Confirming the capabilities of the suite of technologies incorporated into the demonstrator is a major step towards improving the efficiency of current and future aero engines. UltraFand is 10% more efficient than the Trent XWB, already the world’s most efficient large aero engine in service.
