#Yeast reveals secret of hitchhiker mutations It takes a group effort of genetic mutations to give organisms the best shot at evolutionary survival a new study suggests.
These extra mutations are termed hitchhikers because they don t appear to contribute to the enhanced fitness of the organism Our study indicates that evolution is more of a group effort says Gregory Lang an associate research scholar in the laboratory of David Botstein at Princeton university s Lewis-Sigler Institute
Drivers and hitchhikers The finding goes against the traditional view of evolution being determined by individual mutations that provide a large fitness advantage by themselves says Michael Desai a former Princeton fellow who is currently at Harvard university.
The whole group which includes hitchhikers drives adaptation together. The relatively small subset of gene mutations that were found to enhance survival Botstein says suggests that there are only a limited number of ways in

#Volocopter VC200 18-rotor electric helicopter takes flight Volocopter VC200 Greener transportation options have become a priority in the modern world.
Even helicopters are becoming greener. One German company, E-volo, designed several electric helicopters, and one of its models, the Volocopter VC200, recently passed its first flight tests.
Video)##E-volo s#vehicle may look bizarre, but the concept is actually brilliant. It has 18 rotors,
along with 18 zero emission motors powered by six battery packs. Its frame is created from carbon fiber to keep the aircraft lightweight and It seats two people.
The most clever aspect of the VC200, however, is that it maneuvers by using its multiple propellers
though, the VC200 comes equipped with a parachute. Recently a prototype of the VC200 took to the skies for its first series of test flights.
Not only was impressed the team with the smooth flight experience of the aircraft, but they were surprised also by how quiet the Volocopter ran.
The VC200 took a total of nine flights, including one that lasted nearly 22 meters.
Each flight lasted a few minutes. However, the tests were limited to indoors, so who knows what s possible once the Volocopter is taken outside?
It is E-volo s hopes that the aircraft will eventually get up to speeds of 50 knots and stay in the air for more than an hour.
Although it will still be some time before the VC200 goes into production, results from the successful test flights will be analyzed for future improvements.

High-speed rail (HSR) will connect not only cities, states and countries in the future, but also far-reaching continents. In about 15 to 20 years from now, one could travel seamlessly from London, UK to Beijing,
China and even have a detour within the Gulf countries using the global high-speed rail network.
Some of these lines are designated passenger lines (PDL), while others are also capable of carrying freight, known as high-speed logistics.
The total cost of Chinese HSR ambitions is billed at around $300 billion USD when completed.
What is defined as high-speed rail in the US (speeds of 120 kilometers per hour) is considered figuratively similar to the speed of a bull-drawn cart in 19th century China.
2013, Elon musk, chief executive of Tesla motors TSLA+2. 28%and Spacex, revealed details of a new super fast mode of transportation called the Hyperloop.

it is still a significant breakthrough in high-speed mass transportation because the technology and intellectual property has been floated to the public as an open source transportation solution.
Yet the Hyperloop is not the only radical transport solution currently in development, the Canadian firm Magnovate aims to commercialize Magline, a proprietary magnetic levitation transport solution.
Magline further improves on system economics by utilizing apacket switching model that enables offline stops without slowing traffic on the mainline.
This enables more vehicles that are connected not to one another to run more often on the network.

and the need to travel outside of cities to reach airports hours in advance. By 2027
next-generation rolling stock and signal upgrades are expected to raise high-speed rail services in the excess of 320 kilometers per hour.
