...Weight in pounds of a white truffle found on Nov. 23 near Pisa--the second largest ever; the world's largest, 5.5 lbs, was found...
...business has more than tripled over the past three years," says Wendy Atchison, CEO of Ecosse, a boutique cyclemaker in Denver. Its $275,000 Titanium Series RR is handcrafted by welders, machinists, painters and upholsters. The bike's all-titanium chassis is stronger than and a tenth the weight of steel, very difficult to weld and brutally expensive. For those hours off the bike, owners can still keep their babies close: included with the Titanium Series RR is a $20,000 skeletal-faced watch that matches the bike's exposed engine...
...work back up. This will be our practice run for the NCAA tournament.” Harvard placed seventh last year with two wrestlers reaching the finals. Despite stiffer competition, the Crimson looks to better last year’s already stellar performance. Each college sends one wrestler per weight class for a total of 10 wrestlers. For the Crimson, three young faces are set to compete: freshmen Dan Kelly at 125 lbs., Shay Warren at 133, and Corey Jantzen at 141. Returning All-Americans sophomore JP O’Connor and junior co-captain Louis Caputo are ranked third...
...wingspan is covered with photovoltaic cells, which convert the sun's rays into roughly the same amount of energy needed to light a large Christmas tree. That solar power drives four electric engines, and loads four lithium batteries - a quarter of the aircraft's total weight of 3,300 lbs. (1,500 kg) - which allow the plane to continue flying through the night. Project director and co-pilot André Borschberg says that while labs around the world are developing lighter and more effective batteries, those currently available impose severe limits on the plane's weight. "With twice the battery...
Given its weight and power source, the Solar Impulse design can't handle turbulence, rain or even heavy clouds. During the day the HB-SIA is expected to climb to 28,000 ft. (8,500 m) so it can preserve battery power after sunset by gliding down to 10,000 ft. (3,000 m) at night. For as much as one-third of the night, says Piccard, the plane will be able to fly its descending course without engine power. But once it reaches its nighttime cruising altitude, the burden of powering the plane will fall to the batteries alone...
