In 2001, there were only 62 wild Iberian lynx remaining in Portugal and Spain. Now, in what has been deemed a shining example of major conservation success, there are over 2,000, according to a press release from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Much of this population growth is thanks to the sustained […]

A fusion reactor in southern France achieved a significant milestone toward clean, limitless energy. The fusion reactor, WEST, created a super-hot plasma and sustained it for a record-breaking 6 minutes. The experiment is laying the groundwork for a larger fusion reactor called ITER. A fusion reactor in southern France, called WEST, just achieved an important milestone that […]
A tokamak in France set a new record in fusion plasma by encasing its reaction in tungsten, a heat-resistant metal that allows physicists to sustain hot plasmas for longer, and at higher energies and densities than carbon tokamaks. A tokamak is a torus- (doughnut-) shaped fusion device that confines plasma using magnetic fields, allowing scientists […]
In the book Algorithms to Live By, I was exposed to a concept that improved my ability to make decisions — the “explore-exploit trade-off.” I’ll spare you the nerdy details. But I’m at the stage of life where I should be exploring things. Instead, I keep exploiting (ordering) the same chicken burrito from Chipotle Mexican […]

He added that Russia purportedly discussed […]
One of two engines powering a Japanese moon lander during its descent to the lunar surface Jan. 19 suffered a malfunction of some sort just 160 feet above the lunar surface that sharply reduced its power, the Japanese space agency said Thursday. The spacecraft touched down at a safe, lower-than-expected velocity, but it was moving too fast […]
By Kantaro Komiya TOKYO (Reuters) -Japan achieved an unconventionally precise moon landing within a few meters of its target, the space agency said on Thursday, after the nation became the fifth to put a spacecraft on the moon with the weekend touchdown of its SLIM probe. Japan hopes the demonstration of the precise landing technology […]
