Gary has starting to get very excited around the NFT (non-fungible token) space. The emerging space built on blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize how people make art, buy products digitally and express themselves more uniquely on the internet. There will be plenty of projects that do not become the next pokemon, but there are also many that will. Start learning now about NFTs and the potential opportunities so as it grows, you can make the best decisions possible when you are ready to jump in!
This Fusion Fuel Experiment Will Bring Us One Step Closer to Ignition
Scientists are about to test the fuel that will eventually power the world’s largest nuclear fusion experiment, ITER. If all goes well, we’ll be one step closer to the goal of generating limitless energy.
If you’re new to the world of nuclear fusion, welcome to the decades-long waiting party. See, nuclear fission is what most of us are more familiar with: it’s when atoms are split apart to create huge amounts of energy.
But fusion is the fusing of two atoms, which releases an energy yield several times greater than fission. Almost all fusion experiments work specifically on fusing hydrogen atoms to form helium. And that’s the big dream of fusion ignition—it would produce a limitless supply of clean energy.
But as you can imagine, heating hydrogen plasmas to 150 million degrees Celsius and then compressing and confining them down into states of matter even more extreme than what’s at the center of the Sun is…kinda hard. There are private and nationally-funded facilities all over the world working toward this…and that’s where ITER comes in.
Bitcoin: Your Chance To Get Rich or Another Billionaire Scam?
How big of a threat is Bitcoin to centralised currency, and with figures like Elon Musk able to influence its value so dramatically will it lead to a financial revolution or just further digital control by powerful billionaires?

What Is Light?
We are so used to some things that we stopped wondering about them. Like light. What is light? Some kind of wavy thing, right? Kind of.
What the HECK is a Photon?!
A photon is a purely quantum mechanical object representing the smallest piece of energy (or quanta) for light. Every quantum particle is a packet of energy though, so how do we tell photons apart from electrons, quarks, and neutrinos?

This Chinese Battery Company Has Produced More Billionaires Than Google Or Facebook | Forbes
A little-known but fast-growing Chinese maker of batteries for electric vehicles now has more billionaires on Forbes’ list than just about any other public company. A whopping nine billionaires have fortunes of $1 billion or more based on their stakes in Contemporary Amperex Technology (known as CATL). Shares of the firm, which supplies batteries to automakers including BMW, Volkswagen and Daimler’s Mercedes-Benz, have soared over 150% in the past year as demand for electric vehicles has heated up. CATL’s founder and chairman, 52-year-old Robin Zeng, is now the 47th-richest person in the world, worth $32.5 billion, more than triple the $9.7 billion fortune he sported in March 2020 when the Covid-19 pandemic crashed the market. Zeng owns around 25% of the company.
Other CATL executives have attained seriously large fortunes as well. Co-vice chairs Huang Shilin and Li Ping boast net worths of $14.7 billion and $6.6 billion, respectively; early investor Pei Zhenhua, who purchased a stake in 2015, is worth an estimated $8.5 billion. Zhao Fenggang (worth $2.4 billion), Wu Kai ($2.3 billion), Wu Yingming ($1.9 billion), Chen Qiongxiang ($1.8 billion) and Chen Yuantai ($1.3 billion) leapt onto the billionaires list for the first time in 2021. Four of the five hold various management roles at CATL, while Chen Qiongxiang is an early investor.
The amount of wealth produced—together the nine people are worth $72 billion—is a staggering feat for a decade-old company. Forbes has found eight billionaires each from tech giant Google and Facebook, while retailer Walmart has also produced eight billionaires—seven of whom are descendants of founder Sam Walton and his brother Bud Walton. A few family owned conglomerates—like agriculture giant Cargill—have spawned more billionaires due to the large number of heirs, but among publicly traded companies, only one other firm, Chinese soy sauce maker Foshan Haitian Flavouring & Food, has put nine people on Forbes’ billionaires rankings.
