Achieving commercialization of fusion in Europe
Milena Roveda, chairman of the European Fusion Association, discusses the important actions needed to make fusion commercialisation a European reality. Around the world, efforts to achieve fusion commercialization are continuing to gain momentum. Europe is a major contributor to such efforts, developing strong R&D infrastructure, fostering public-private partnerships, and coordinating national and EU-level strategies. The […]
How is the EU working on antibiotic resistance?
Eva Hrncirova, a spokesman for the European Commission for Health, explains measures to tackle the growing threat of AMR in both the EU and the world. More than 35,000 people die from antibiotic-resistant infections throughout the European Union (EU), Iceland and Norway each year. Antibiotic resistance (AMR) issues also have important economic consequences, placing a […]
How is the space telescope assembled?
Space telescopes are beyond the limits of Earth-based launches. Spatial Assemblies (ISAs) are scalable and technically viable ways to build next-generation observatory and track equipment. The larger extraterrestrial telescope promises groundbreaking discoveries, but building these machines on Earth has hit a wall. Rockets only have complex, complex folding systems like James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), […]

New proton exchange membranes advance hydrogen storage
A Korean research team has developed a new proton exchange membrane (PEM) that will greatly improve the performance of electrochemical hydrogen storage systems. This next-generation PEM for LOHC-based electrochemical hydrogen storage was developed using a hydrocarbon-based polymer called SPAES. Compared to commercially available pemnafion, it reduces toluene permeability by more than 60% and improves the […]
