Nuclear Fusion’s New Idea: An Off-the-Shelf Stellarator

Cars That Think

Jayme Thornton PPPL researchers say their simpler machine demonstrates a way to build stellarators far more cheaply and quickly, allowing researchers to easily test new concepts for future fusion power plants. And unlike conventional nuclear fission, fusion comes with no risk of meltdowns or weaponization, and no long-lived nuclear waste.

How a Harvard Engineer Lost Three Grants in One Day

Cars That Think

These systems are programmable, low cost, and suited to real-world applications where traditional computing models fall short. We have been working on building an open-source ecosystem that enables contributions from the broader community, while also curating a set of benchmarks tailored to AI for science.

Pando’s minimalist solution allows more EV charging in less space at less cost

Charged EVs

Yes, if you look at the form factor, it is an outlet, so it has all the advantages over an EV charger, such as small size, low cost and zero maintenance. All of that is impossible if you build an EV charging company by only making software. If the company dies or if you move out of the multi-family, that cable will be wasted.

Ford Bronco Sport first to feature parts made of 100% recycled ocean plastic

Green Car Congress

Much of that is attributed to the fishing industry, which has come to rely on plastic fishing nets and other equipment because of the durability, light weight, buoyancy and low cost of the material. Ghost gear comprises nearly 10% of all sea-based plastic waste, entangling fish, sharks, dolphins, seals, sea turtles and birds.
