REUTERS: Confused by kilowatts? Can’t tell an anode from a cathode? Here is a simple guide to the jargon likely to be tossed around at Tesla’s Battery Day on Sept. 22. CELLS AND PACKS A Tesla Model 3 uses a single lithium-ion battery pack that houses four smaller modules. Each module contains 700 to 1,000 individual cylindrical cells, shaped much like the ones in a flashlight. Cells can come in different shapes and sizes, but most have three key elements: Electrodes, electrolyte and separator. Electrodes store the lithium. The electrolyte carries the lithium ions between electrodes. The separator keeps the positive electrode from coming in contact with the negative electrode. Energy, in the form of electricity, is discharged from the battery cell when lithium ions flow from the negative electrode, or anode, to the positive electrode, or cathode. When the cell is charging, those ions flow in the opposite direction, from cathode to anode. Panasonic supplies cylindrical … [Read more...] about Explainer: How to interpret Tesla’s Battery Day lingo

If you aren’t able to find toilet paper in your neighbourhood supermarket owing to the panic buying , it may be a good time to switch to washing instead of wiping. Although research on which makes a more hygienic method – wiping or washing – is scarce, some experts are advocating the latter. "Think about using dry toilet paper. You're leaving a residue of stool and bacteria, whereas if you're using a bidet, you’re washing that away," said Dr Phillip Buffington, the chief medical officer of The Urology Group in the US. As a result, those who wash or use the bidet “are much less likely to have issues with rashes and discomfort and irritation," said Dr Allen Kamrava, a California-based colorectal and general surgeon, in Healthline. There’s also the issue of anal tears because not everyone wipes gently with toilet paper. Dr Evan Goldstein, a rectal surgeon in New York City, said in Business Insider Singapore that the most common anus-related injuries are tears caused by … [Read more...] about No toilet paper?

SINGAPORE: No doubt that demand for cloud services is booming during and after the coronavirus crisis. As workplaces and schools migrate into homes, a surge in the use of communications software such as DingTalk and Zoom is putting pressure on cloud services. The crisis hardly hides the boon for companies such as Alibaba Cloud. Alibaba knows it had better move quick to upgrade and expand its cloud infrastructure. Its US$28 billion investment announced on Monday (Apr 20), almost exactly half of its entire 2019 revenue, is certainly going to get them far, maybe even far enough to make a play for the market share of other cloud services operators Amazon and Microsoft in places other than their home US market. Much of this investment will go into the expansion of data centres and networks, with another chunk into technology development in software and semiconductors, the tech behemoth said in its announcement.

SINGAPORE: As the head of a global manufacturing firm headquartered in the Republic, Mr Alessandro Perrotta has sent his Singaporean staff to be based in various countries —  including Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia — where his company has operations. Contrary to popular perceptions, he has never faced resistance from Singaporeans when they have to go to these countries stereotypically viewed as less liveable than the rich city-state, said the chief executive officer of Interplex Holdings. “Singaporeans are some of the most flexible people I know … My team is willing to go anywhere, anytime.” As companies here and elsewhere adjust to a new business normal brought upon by the Covid-19 pandemic, Mr Perrotta will continue to focus on the region due to its attractive opportunities. It is an endeavour that Singapore itself has been actively pursuing over the last few decades: Greater regional integration with its neighbours in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). … [Read more...] about The Big Read: With globalisation in retreat, ASEAN can offer Singapore a way forward in post-COVID world
