The scientists used lasers to fuse two light atoms into a single one, releasing 3.15MJ (megajoules) of energy from 2.05MJ of input – roughly enough to boil a kettle.

Why do we even study this? Renewables are the only way. This is a waste of money which is a finite resource.

From the guy's own mouth.

Conversations about white supremacy in America today typically center on right-wing media and incendiary politicians who blast out racist dog whistles.

But hate doesn’t need demagogues to get mainstreamed; it has also found an outlet at elite universities.

On June 29, Stanford University hosted a delegation from the Azov Brigade, a neo-Nazi formation in the Ukrainian National Guard. The panel, during which Azov’s neo-Nazi insignia was projected onto the wall, was attended by noted political scientist Francis Fukuyama, who posed for a photograph with the delegation.

This event — and the disturbing lack of reaction from Jewish organizations — showcases the limits of America’s commitment to combating white supremacy.

Call it the Ukraine exception.

Before Russia’s 2022 invasion, nearly every Western institution raised alarms about Azov. Putin’s brazen attack on Ukraine led to a much deserved outpouring of support for the country. Unfortunately, it also led to suppression of those who criticize the dark side of Kyiv: its reliance on far-right military elements, the most prominent example of which is Azov.

Even amid today’s surge of antisemitism globally, Azov has become the Teflon Neo-Nazis: freedom fighters who can do no wrong, celebrated across America, including at prestigious institutions like Stanford.

WASHINGTON, November 1. /TASS/. The Kiev government’s decision to attack Russia’s borderline Kursk Region has become its "strategic mistake," said former US Secretary of Defense and the ex-director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Robert Gates.

"And I would just say this about the incursion into Russia, the Kursk incursion: my personal view is that that was a strategic mistake. That's 30,000 very good Ukrainian troops that I think should have been used to strengthen the front in the Donbass, where they are under huge pressure, and the Russians are very slowly moving forward, taking one village at a time," he said at an event Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington (declared as an undesirable organization in Russia),

In his opinion, Russia is capable of continuing its special military operation in Ukraine until it decides that its goals are met, and underestimating its ability to carry on "is a huge mistake."

He also said that the West has "significantly underestimated Russia, and it probably has to do with not reading enough Russian history."

Ukraine’s massive incursion into the Kursk Region began on August 6. A federal level state of emergency is in effect there. Residents of border areas are being taken to safety. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, Kiev has lost more than 27,500 troops and 177 tanks since the beginning of hostilities in Kursk Region. The operation to wipe out the Ukrainian forces continues.
