XLinks plans to make solar a whole lot better. — In theory solar power is damn awesome. It is one of the lowest carbon forms of energy and is by far the cheapest. However, in practice, it is not perfect. Cloudy days and nights make solar unreliable and the mega batteries we use to combat this are far from environmentally…

Nuclear power is about to become a whole lot safer — Nuclear power is remarkable. Not only is it carbon-neutral it also has the lowest mortality rate per TWh of any other form of energy. It’s even lower than wind and solar and yes that does take nuclear disasters into account. It is also immensely powerful, compact and environmentally harmonious, unlike…

Who wants to visit space in style without costing the Earth? — The fact that you can now buy a ticket to space is mind-blowing. We really are living in the future! Sure the tickets for sale right now are eye-wateringly expensive and have a significant impact on the environment. But soon, this may all change thanks to Space Perspective. Their upcoming…

Can a nuclear ship turn the tide on climate change and fight Russia? — Right now, the world seems pretty messed up. The Earth is dying before our very eyes and World War III seems imminent. Both of which threaten not only our health but also this gorgeous planet we call home. However, Samsung recently partnered with Seabord to create a floating nuclear power…

Could a new fusion reactor design finally unlock this ultimate energy source? — Nuclear fusion power could save the world. With it we would have, on-tap, near-limitless energy with zero carbon emissions. We could power our modern lives and beyond without fear of killing Mother Earth. In our quest to unlock this elusive power we have built ever larger and more complex contraptions…

Biomimicry of a deadly sea creature could soon provide us with near limitless clean energy. — In theory, nuclear fusion is the perfect energy source, simply put hydrogen in and get copious amounts of energy and helium out. There is no vast habitat loss like solar and no horrific carbon emissions like coal or gas. The only problem is that the machines capable of creating fusion…

The billionaire space race is hotting up. — Starlink is damn impressive. Thousands of satellites orbiting just beyond our atmosphere, beaming down high-speed internet across the entire world, for a relatively affordable price. Musk really has made the internet of the future and it is set to fund his Mars-bound ambitions. But, Jeff Bezos has been watching and…

The ultimate climate-saving technology may finally be here. — In theory fusion energy is the ultimate power source. Simply put in hydrogen and get out copious amounts of energy with only helium as a byproduct. But, in practice, it is far more complicated. The super hot, mega compressed and insanely chaotic conditions inside a fusion reactor have been notoriously…

Hypersonic missiles designed by AI. — Unless you have been living under a rock you will have noticed international relations have not been so peachy recently. Particularly with Russia, as they continue to use brutal and criminal acts in Ukraine, despite universal outcry. One of the most shocking revelations of the war in Ukraine has been…
