It's Just Technology
Nuclear power gained a bad reputation following the disasters at Chernobyl, Fukushima and Three Mile Island.
Now, with global energy disruptions caused by Russia’s war in Ukraine and sky-high fuel prices means aging nuclear plants are getting a new lease on life.
And there is new type of nuclear plant is on the horizon- one that could revolutionize the industry.
They are called Small Modular Reactors, or SMRs for short.

Just like the mailer demons you may have seen pop up on an undelivered email, there are hundreds of other software “demons” that live inside your computer.
Whenever a computer completes an automated task, they are said to be done by computer demons.
These demons are anthropomorphized figures that help computer scientists understand complicated processes, which in turn drives AI forward.
Recently, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency, ethereum, implemented a major network upgrade that reduced its energy consumption by 99.9%. But though energy usage has been one of the cryptocurrency industry’s biggest targets for critique, it’s not likely that bitcoin will follow suit. Instead, bitcoin miners are touting their use of renewables and their benefit to the electrical grid, as they try to green their image. Here’s how both networks are trying to become more sustainable.
We are very close to having an entire 3d universe made completely out of text prompts.
Many people are scared of artificial intelligence or AI, and it is not hard to see why! The advances made in that field of technology are mind-boggling, to say the least! One such scary outcome of AI is Google’s AI, which, before it was switched off, ominously revealed one thing billions of people have spent a lifetime trying to discover; the purpose of life! What did Google’s AI say the purpose of life is? Can AI truly become smarter than us? What does AI becoming more intelligent than humans mean? In this video, we dive deep into Google’s Artificial Intelligence and what it revealed was the purpose of life before being switched off!

Scientists at Argonne National Laboratory are trying to build the perfect battery.
Lithium-ion batteries are the gold standard, but there is much progress to be made. For example, one improvement would be to create solid-state batteries in order to eliminate the need for the flammable electrolyte that is inside lithium-ion batteries.
Solid-state batteries also could have three times the energy density of lithium-ion batteries, which might allow things like electric flight.
