Tapping into the energy process which powers the Sun, nuclear fusion has the potential to unleash virtually unlimited supplies of clean energy to power the world. Since the nuclear genie was released from its bottle in the 1940s, it has had the power to both create and destroy. Efforts to tame the atom have come at a high cost, from the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to the reactor meltdowns of Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima. Can Digital Simulation Help Reach a Cleaner Nuclear Industry? Fusion vs. Fission Today’s nuclear weapons and power plants rely on the process of nuclear “fission”. They split heavy atoms like uranium and plutonium to release vast amounts of energy. Fission reactors produce long-lived radioactive waste which remains… Source link

Snowpiercer Season 3 came to a dramatic conclusion on Monday with several shocking revelations. Jennifer Connelly, who returned as Melanie Cavill in the show’s penultimate episode, spoke to Newsweek about some of those stunning moments. **Warning: This article contains spoilers for Snowpiercer’s Season 3 finale** Snowpiercer Season 3 Ending Explained One of the most surprising moments in the penultimate episode of Season 3 was Melanie’s decision to betray Layton (Daveed Diggs) by telling the passengers of Snowpiercer the truth. Melanie informs them that Layton had based the idea of New Eden on a lie and it was a risk traveling to the Horn of Africa just because he believed it was a warm spot, before forcibly taking over the train. However, in the finale it’s revealed this supposed war… Source link

I wonder how many people today remember Project Ginger? It was 2001 and somebody had invented something very important, but almost nobody knew what. “If enough people see the machine you won’t have to convince them to architect cities around it. It’ll just happen,” said Steve Jobs of Apple, an early backer. “IT’S GOING TO CHANGE THE WORLD BUT WHAT IS IT?” ran a typical headline. Theories abounded, each more optimistic than the last. Cold fusion? Teleportation? A computer printer that actually worked? After months of hype, this new humanity-saving invention turned out only to be the Segway, a sort of stand-up balance scooter that it was apparently impossible to fall off. Then George W Bush famously fell off one. Having failed to change the Source link

According to a new theory, The Flash season 8’s serial killer mystery is about to grant Arrowverse fans their oldest villain wish by turning Eddie Thawne into a DC Comics villain. Going all the way back to season 1 when Rick Cosnett’s character was still alive, there were theories that he would evolve into Cobalt Blue, one of many powerful villains in Barry Allen’s rogues’ gallery. Even after Eddie’s death in the finale, speculation persisted that The Flash would eventually find a way to move in this direction. If the latest Cobalt Blue theory is true, the character could be linked to Central City’s newest threat. The Flash season 8, episode 8, titled “The Fire Next Time”, saw Barry try to solve two murders in an effort to exonerate the Hotness. In the end, he was able… Source link

Still feeling sick to my stomach, I strapped on my skis and boarded the Solaise Express gondola with Ed. The sun was shining, the snow glittering and Val d’Isère positively fizzing with springtime energy. As we gained altitude and the mountains started to reveal themselves in their full glory, I received a message from Clare with a photograph of a slumbering Amalia and my nausea abated. By the time we had skied a couple of runs, I started to gulp down deep breaths of crisp air as the mountains peeled back layer upon layer of parental worries and mental load. Ed pointed out that this was the first time in nearly a year that the two of us were alone together and doing something other than sleeping, working or doing housework. I’m fortunate to have a husband who shows remarkable… Source link

Phillip Noyce’s “The Saint” (1997) begins with an opening scene so dreadful, it’s (to use the film’s favorite word) a “miracle” that it eventually does improve itself. We meet a little boy in an orphanage, who defies his abusive guardians, declares his name to be Simon Templar and commits an act of rebellion that leads to tragedy. This Dickensian start, both off-putting and cutesy, like a music-free adaptation of “Oliver!,” gets this off to a rotten start. The film finds its way once lead Val Kilmer takes over the lead as Templar and carries the film. In a similar way, this TV show adaptation provided Kilmer with an opportunity for career course correction. “Batman Forever” (1995) was the biggest hit of its year and a commercial breakthrough for Kilmer,… Source link

In the dead of winter, a place like Stowe, Vt., is traditionally hell for electric vehicles. Frigid temperatures dramatically slow down a battery’s internal chemical reaction necessary for performance, and, as a result, both power and range take a beating. Yet here I am, blasting down a Green Mountain State trail in February, full send, on a Taiga—the world’s first all-electric production snowmobile. Named after the moniker for subarctic conifer forests, the Taiga offers plenty of output and little range anxiety. Has Taiga made some breakthrough in battery technology to make this possible? Is it cold fusion? Black magic? Nope. It’s all just owed to a few sled-enthusiasts with a novel engineering solution. The all-electric Taiga Nomad snowmobile.
