The Plasma “Passing Game” Explains Why Fusion Reactors Lose Heat So Fast A team at Japan’s National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS) has uncovered a hidden turbulence mechanism in fusion plasmas that explains why heat escapes from reactor cores much faster than classical models predicted, marking a key step toward designing more efficient and stable fusion power plants.

Scientists discover a new hybrid state of matter where solids meet liquids A team from the Universities of Nottingham and Ulm has, for the first time, observed how tiny droplets of molten metal can be trapped in an “atomic corral,” remaining liquid at temperatures hundreds of degrees below their freezing point and giving rise to a hybrid state of matter that combines features of solids and liquids, with potential implications for more efficient catalysts and clean technologies based on rare metals.

EUROPEAN COMMUNITY SUPPORTS HYDROGEN The European Community intends to make a definitive effort for the deployment of hydrogen technology with a comprehensive action plan called IPCEI Hydrogen. It targets "innovation, demonstration and deployment of hydrogen technology" in the EC. It consists of four clusters of projects covering the entire hydrogen value chain: production, import, transport and end-use. The four clusters (waves) are: Hy2Tech, Hy2Use, Hy2Infra and Hy2Move. The first two were launched already in 2022 and the second two will be officially communicated in 2023 and 2024. Hy2Tech

A PROPOSAL FROM THE U.S. OFFICE OF NUCLEAR ENERGY. SMR (Small Modular Reactor) reactors are frequently mentioned in these NEWS items, although, except in China, where the first of them has been commissioned (https://www.revistadyna.com/noticias-de-ingenieria/nuclear-de-fision-unidades-grandes-o-pequenas-modulares), they are still only design projects or prototypes, more or less in their infancy. But the reality is that there is a favourable climate for the advancement of this technology.

CO2 EMITTED CONTINUES TO INCREASE IN 2023, ALBEIT AT A LOWER INTENSITY According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), despite the growing demand for electricity, the expansion of solar photovoltaic and wind power generation, the maintenance of nuclear power and a growing fleet of electric vehicles, the increase in CO2 emissions in 2023 will be less pronounced than in 2022, when we were coming out of the pandemic.
