You don’t have to ask about the ethos of Hyatt’s JdV brand. It’s in the name, an acronym for joie de vivre. Dan Mazzarini, principal and creative director of BHDM Design in New York, describes the global JdV identity as “vibrant, bubbly, bright and celebratory.” These descriptions certainly apply to BHDM’s recently completed Wild Palms Hotel in its technology-centric Silicon Valley portfolio. You know what else fits that description? Aperol Spritz. In fact, a vintage ad for the trendy aperitif set the tone for a five-year renovation. “It is one of our smallest and longest projects,” Mazzarini continues. His company…

Let’s leave it at 100. It is unlikely that they will be over 100 years old. Medical advances, public health achievements, and improved diets significantly increased life expectancy worldwide from the 1800s to the 1900s. But a surprising new study finds that this momentum is slowing and that the biggest boost to longevity may be in the rearview mirror. “Most people who are now living into old age are living according to medically created timelines,” said S. Jay, lead author of the study and professor of epidemiology and biostatistics at the University of Illinois at Chicago.・Mr. Olshansky says. “However, despite…

Recent advances in nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) technology could make future manned missions to Mars significantly faster, cutting travel times in half compared to traditional chemical rockets. NASA and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) are working together to develop this technology, which could also enable improved maneuverability on space missions. But the design of the reactors that power these nuclear rockets poses significant challenges that engineers are still working to overcome. The potential of nuclear thermal propulsion for space travel Chemical rockets, the current standard for space missions, rely on the combustion of chemical propellants such as hydrogen…
