State of the art for Europe’s demonstration fusion power plant
The European research consortium EUROfusion has announced the start of a five-year conceptual design phase for its demonstration fusion power plant DEMO, capable of net electricity production, shortly after the middle of the century in its Roadmap to Fusion Energy.
The first-of-its-kind facility represents the next technological step after the global ITER fusion experiment. It aims to demonstrate the net production of 300 to 500 megawatt of electricity generated by nuclear fusion, clean and safe energy, as well as essential technologies such as remote maintenance and tritium breeding. The tritium breeding technology will allow operators to produce the tritium fusion fuel on-site is a crucial requirement not just for DEMO but also for any future fusion power device to follow ITER.
Fusion is the process that powers stars like our Sun and promises an inherently safe and nearly unlimited long-term clean energy source here on Earth. Fusion energy will generate immense amounts of energy from just a few grams of the abundant fuels found all over the world.

Machines may help bring about a Post-Scarcity Utopia, assuming they don’t take over instead, and we dream of a future that is a Post-Scarcity Utopia, but its dark reflection is the Post-Discontent society, one where through deception or brainwashing people do not even known how they are being deprived or oppressed.

Watch the live stream of the launch of Run 3 on CERN’s internal screens or on social media!
A mere day after the 10th anniversary of the discovery of the Higgs boson celebrations at CERN, the LHC will make the promise of a bright future for particle physics a reality, breaking a new energy world record of 13.6 trillion electron volts (13.6 TeV) in its first stable-beam collisions. These collisions will mark the start of data taking for the new physics season, called Run 3.
The launch of the LHC Run 3 will be streamed live on CERN’s social media channels and by high-quality Eurovision satellite link on 5 July starting at 4 p.m. Live commentary in five languages (English, French, German, Italian and Spanish) from the CERN Control Centre will walk you through the operation stages that take proton beams from their injection into the LHC to collision points. A live Q&A session with experts from the accelerators and experiments will conclude the live stream.
For those on site at CERN, the live will be broadcast on the screens in the three CERN restaurants with English subtitles. If you need to take an afternoon coffee break, think 4 p.m!
A Biodegradable Spray Applied to Fresh Produce Could Eliminate a Lot of Foodborne Illnesses and Plastic Packaging
That’s not a Faberge egg on the right. It is an avocado sprayed with an antimicrobial fibre to keep the produce from rotting and could become the future way we preserve fruit and vegetables.
Naturally occurring pullulan fibres with antimicrobial agents when sprayed on test avocados proves better than plastic packaging.
Clarketech: Technologies Indistinguishable from Magic
View insights.
Many technologies popular in speculation and science fiction are so advanced they are indistinguishable from magic. This series looks at if such technologies have any plausible basis in science and what their impact and less obvious implications would be.

The big question of why life exists has challenged minds for countless centuries, but what does science have to say on this matter? Could life arise on other worlds and in other Universes, and what is the reason for it?
