Nuclear Fusion Requires Breakthroughs Materials Science First
1 day ago · Fusion energy has the potential to be an effective clean energy source, as its reactions generate incredibly large amounts of energy.Fusion reactors aim to reproduce on Earth what happens in the core of the Sun, where very light elements merge and release energy in the process.Engineers can harness this energy to heat water and generate electricity through a steam turbine, but the path to ...

6 days ago · Dan Kotlyar - October 5, 2024. NASA plans to send crewed missions to Mars over the next decade – but the 140 million-mile (225 million-kilometer) journey to the red planet could take several months to years round trip. This relatively long transit time is a result of the use of traditional chemical rocket fuel.
Rain May Have Helped Form the First Cells | RealClearScience
4 days ago · With another colleague, Anusha Vonteddu, I found that rainwater indeed stabilizes protocells against fusion. Rain, we believe, may have paved the way for the first cells. Droplets with meshy walls resist fusion and prevent leakage of their RNA. In this image, each color represents a different type of RNA.
Plastic Bottle Recycling in the U.S. Is Abysmal. A Simple Plan Could ...
Oct 12, 2024 · Through a complex economic analysis, the MIT researchers estimated that if the U.S. implemented a nationwide DRS with a 10 cent refund value for recycling PET bottles, 82 percent of them would be recycled by 2035. Moreover, as mechanically recycled PET offers an 85% reduction in emissions compared to virgin PET, the climate would benefit as well.
Let's Stop Pretending About the Covid-19 Vaccines
Aug 23, 2021 · Let’s stop pretending the vaccines are 90% effective and breakthrough cases are “uncommon.”. The real world effectiveness of the Moderna and Pfizer (mRNA) vaccines appears to be sinking like a stone. We started at 94+% within 2 months of vaccination and against the original SARS-CoV-2 strain.
Red Meat Is Not a Health Risk. A New Study Slams Years of …
Nov 14, 2022 · Studies have been linking red meat consumption to health problems like heart disease, stroke, and cancer for years. But nestled in the recesses of those published papers are notable limitations. Nearly all the research is observational, unable to tease out causation convincingly. Most are plagued by confounding variables.
The Universe Is Smoother Than Theory Suggests
Sep 27, 2024 · But detailed mapping of the CMB tells us a great deal more than this. A key insight from CMB maps obtained with the Planck telescope is that the universe was also exceptionally smooth at early times. There was only a 0.001% variation from place to place in the density and temperature of the matter and radiation in the universe.
