The novelty of eating at a diner owned by the richest person in the world seems to have worn off in just a few monthsLess than six months since it opened, Elon Musk's Tesla Diner has the feel of a ghost town. Gone is the Optimus robot serving popcorn, gone are the carnivore-diet-inspired “Epic Bacon” strips, gone are the hours-long, hundred-person lines wrapped around the block. Even the restaurant's all-star chef, Eric Greenspan, is gone.

The aerospace manufacturer produces precision parts and assemblies that become components in larger systems (such as electronic-warfare or survivability systems produced by Leonardo and others) that are integrated into the stealth jet through OEM supply chains. "So this wasn't "property damage" in the abstract. They're bra...

East Midlands Railway will switch to bi-mode Aurora fleet to cut emissions and noise but elsewhere electrification is delayedRailway fossil fuels once helped to turn King's Cross and St Pancras into a seamy, smoke-choked area of London.

From Trader Joe's totes to Greggs jewellery, swag mania reveals how small businesses can promote their 'brands' – and how we use stuff to signal our tribeFor all its many charms, Norwich tends to lag behind London on internet-buzzy trends (personally, I count that as among its charms), but it's not always easy to pinpoint by exactly how long.
