Assembly of the Worldâs Largest Nuclear Fusion Reactor Begins
On July 27, the assembly of the worldâs largest nuclear fusion reactor began in France. It is known as the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor or ITER. The ITER project is a joint effort by countries such as Japan, India, the European Union, the United States, Russia, China, and South Korea. The project was launched in 2006, has a five-year assembly phase, and plans to reach its maximum power output by 2035.

Why James Webb will operate far from Earth?
The James Webb Space Telescope will not be in orbit around the Earth, like the Hubble is, rather it will actually orbit the Sun, 1.5 million kms away from the Earth at the second Lagrange point or L2.

WATCH: MARS in 4K!!
A world first. New footage from Mars rendered in stunning 4K resolution.
Although the cameras are high quality, the rate at which the rovers can send data back to earth is the biggest challenge. Curiosity can only send data directly back to earth at 32 kilo-bits per second.
Instead, when the rover can connect to the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, we get more favourable speeds of 2 Megabytes per second.
However, this link is only available for about 8 minutes each Sol, or Martian day.
As you would expect, sending HD video at these speeds would take a long long time. As nothing really moves on Mars, it makes more sense to take and send back images.

NASA: Next week, NASAâs OSIRIS-REx Asteroid Sample Return Mission will practice touching asteroid Bennu one last time before its big moment
Next week, NASAâs OSIRIS-REx Asteroid Sample Return Mission will practice touching asteroid Bennu one last time before its big moment. The 4-hour excursion will bring the spacecraft to just 131 ft (40 m) above Bennu.
Hereâs a preview of the rehearsal: https://go.nasa.gov/30zVOgR

Upcycling plastic waste toward sustainable energy storage
What if you could solve two of Earthâs biggest problems in one stroke? UC Riverside engineers have developed a way to recycle plastic waste, such as soda or water bottles, into a nanomaterial useful for energy storage.
Mihri and Cengiz Ozkan and their students have been working for years on creating improved energy storage materials from sustainable sources, such as glass bottles, beach sand, Silly Putty, and portabella mushrooms. Their latest success could reduce plastic pollution and hasten the transition to 100% clean energy.
âThirty percent of the global car fleet is expected to be electric by 2040, and high cost of raw battery materials is a challenge,â said Mihri Ozkan, a professor of electrical engineering in UCRâs Marlan and Rosemary Bourns College of Engineering. âUsing waste from landfill and upcycling plastic bottles could lower the total cost of batteries while making the battery production sustainable on top of eliminating plastic pollution worldwide.â
