As the impacts of climate change continue to grow, so does interest in fusion’s potential as a clean energy source. While fusion reactions have been studied in laboratories since the 1930s, there are still many critical questions scientists must answer to make fusion power a reality, and time is of the essence. As part of their strategy to accelerate fusion energy’s arrival and reach carbon neutrality by 2050, the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) has announced new funding for a project led by researchers at MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC) and four collaborating institutions. Cristina Rea, a research…

Health issues that only affect women are desperately under-researched, such as endometriosis, a pathology of the uterus lining with no cure, affecting 1 in 10 women, and taking eight years to diagnose (if you are black, it takes even longer). Other issues that disproportionately affect women, such as autoimmune diseases like lupus, IBS, or rheumatoid arthritis, where over 80% of patients are female, are also far away from being understood by science and are, since COVID-19, on the rise. Other common health issues like heart problems affect women differently and hence, the rate of misdiagnosing heart attacks is much higher…

Credit: CC0 Public Domain Almost 80 years ago, Florence Bell quietly laid the foundations for one of the biggest landmarks in 20th century science: the discovery of the structure of DNA. But when she died on November 23 2000, her occupation on her death certificate was recorded as “housewife.” Decades later, female researchers are still being sidelined. Research has shown that deep systemic problems block women from advancing or push them out of science. But this isn’t inevitable—there are changes universities could make to level the playing field. While promotion criteria differ across universities, credibility in academia is primarily established…

The equipment was set up for passengers leaving the railway station last Friday (November 17) as part of Sussex Police’s Operation Sceptre project. The knife arch scanned people as they walked through it to detect any weapons being carried. But a spokeswoman for the force said that “while we can ask individuals to walk through a knife arch, it is not compulsory. “We can use existing powers to stop and search people for weapons where we have reasonable grounds to do so.” The force said that knife arches are deployed at locations and times based on intelligence to ensure they…

After three years leading biking tours through U.S. National Parks, Jackson Jewett decided it was time for a change. “It was a lot of fun, but I realized I missed buildings,” says Jewett. “I really wanted to be a part of that industry, learn more about it, and reconnect with my roots in the built environment.” Jewett grew up in California in what he describes as a “very creative household.” “I remember making very elaborate Halloween costumes with my parents, making fun dioramas for school projects, and building forts in the backyard, that kind of thing,” Jewett explains. Both of…

This event aims to unite carriers, freight forwarders, and shippers, facilitating a dialogue on sharing best practices and fostering ideas that will assist companies in achieving their net-zero objectives. David de Picciotto, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Co-founder of Pledge, remarked: “The OECD has predicted that global logistics emissions are set to increase by 42% by 2050 – the same year the Paris Agreement has tasked the EU to achieve net zero carbon. “If we’re going to meet this challenging goal, the industry needs to come together and collaborate.” De Picciotto explained the purpose of the round table: “This is…

I have written quite a bit about my concerns regarding drivechains and miner incentives over the years, because I think it is a very important set of risks to be aware of. Bitcoin is almost 15 years old as a live network at this point, and it has stood up to a good bit of pressure and outright malicious griefing and attacks over those 15 years. Bitcoin has withstood internal attacks from developers trying to radically alter the system, it has withstood the same attack from most of the major businesses in the space, it has survived what could have…
