China naik 6% Seperti dilaporkan Reuters pada Minggu (20/4/2025) tren ekspor batu bara Indonesia itu tercermin dari data impor batu bara China yang turun 9% menjadi 17,96 juta metrik ton pada Maret 2025 Indonesia masih jadi pemasok utama bagi China Penurunan itu terjadi usai pemberlakukan harga batubara acuan (HBA) mulai 1 Maret 2025 HBA untuk ekspor ditetapkan dua kali (tanggal 1 dan 15) dalam sebulan seperti tertuang dalam Keputusan Menteri ESDM Nomor 80.K/MB.01/MEM.B/2025 tentang Harga Mineral Logam Acuan dan Harga Batu Bara Acuan untuk Periode Pertama Bulan Maret Tahun 2025 Di samping penurunan impor China terhadap batu bara Indonesia terjadi kenaikan impor China terhadap batu bara dari Rusia sebesar 6% pada Maret 2025 Rusia memasok sebanyak 7,33 juta metrik ton batu bara untuk China impor batu bara China turun 6% pada bulan Maret Penurunan itu ditengarai karena tertekan oleh tingginya persediaan pelabuhan dan lemahnya permintaan domestik yang telah mendorong harga spot ke posisi terendah dalam empat tahun Penurunan harga maupun kebutuhan batu bara juga dibayangi data pembangkit listrik termal China menurun pada Kuartal I-2024 yang sebagian besar berasal dari batu bara mengalami penurunan sebesar 2,3% pada bulan Maret dan 4,7% pada kuartal I-2024 menurut data resmi yang dirilis oleh Biro Statistik Nasional (NBS) pada hari Rabu yang merupakan sumber energi terbesar kedua di China meningkat sebesar 9,5% menjadi 78,1 miliar kWh pada bulan Maret Peningkatan pembangkit listrik dari tenaga air dan sumber energi terbarukan lainnya itu turut menjadi penyebab penurunan

hektar dan berakhir pada tahun 2033 Warga tak pernah tahu bagaimana izin itu terbit lokasi dimana izin diberikan adalah hak ulayat masyarakat setempat kawasan itu menjadi tempat warga bergantung hidup dengan berkebun dan memanfaatkan hasil hutan Ada beberapa marga yang diketahui sebagai pemilik hak ulayat itu Mengacu pada penelitian Helza Nova Lita dan Fatmie Utarie Nasution [2021] Hak ini diatur berdasarkan Pasal 18B ayat (2) Undang-undang Dasar (UUD) 1945 dan Pasal 3 Undang-Undang Pokok Agraria (UUPA) Lahan secara komunal masih dipraktikkan warga Kampung Umera hingga kini Mereka menyebutnya sebagai tanah waris marga yang bisa dimanfaatkan warga lainnya pria 70 tahun ini mengajak Mongabay berkeliling ke kebun miliknya melalui jalan setapak cengkih dan pala berjejer hingga ke rumpun sagu Melalui Avenza Maps—sebuah aplikasi pemetaan— terungkap bila sebagian hak pengelolaan adat masuk dalam konsesi BPM sedimen lumpur kian menjadi hingga merendam kebun sagu ”Hampir semua rumpun sagu waris marga di Kampung Umera ini sudah rusak,” katanya Di kebun sagu waris marga Magtublo di Hol dan Kayai misal Ia bahkan tak lagi bisa mengambil sagu di hutan Wagob karena tanah waris milik marga Magpo telah terendam sedimen bersama tanah waris milik marga lainnya perusahaan sempat bertemu warga dan mengukur batas tanah masing-masing marga Perusahan juga menjanjikan akan ganti rugi bila kebun

terdampak tambang milik PT Anugerah Sukses Mining (ASM) menguasai 504 hektar perusahan mengeruk nikel hingga menyebabkan sekujur pohon sagu tak bisa lagi dimanfaatkan akibat terendam sedimen lumpur perusahaan setop operasi setelah menggunduli hutan ibu-ibu di Umera memanfaatkan daun sagu untuk membuat anyaman kita marga Magpo tidak dilibatkan sejak awal hak kita (di Smingit) diabaikan begitu saja,” bebernya pihak ASM tidak membalas surat permintaan konfirmasi yang Mongabay kirim Kerusakan lingkungan di Kampung Umeru adalah potret kecil yang terjadi di Pulau Gebe Masuknya industri ekstraktif dalam beberapa dekade silam telah mengubah wajah dan mencabik hak ulayat masyarakat setempat Analisis Kebijakan Madya Komnas HAM RI mengatakan perusahan seharusnya menghormati hak asasi manusia Apalagi masyarakat hukum adat tergolong rentan karena ketergantungannya pada alam mereka bisa klaim atas dasar sejarah dan asal usul meski tidak memiliki dokumen hukum (sertifikat) sekalipun,” jelasnya Pengerukan nikel di Pulau Gebe berawal dari Indeko Indonesia Development Company pada 1968 Jou Jau (Perdana Menteri) Kesultanan Tidore H.M Amin Faaroek ikut menyaksikan awal perusahaan itu beroperasi Riset Foshal, Trend Asia dan YLBHI [2024] menyebut aktivitas tambang Antam sisakan trauma bagi warga pelayanan air bersih dan listrik yang dulu disediakan Antam masih ada 7 konsesi nikel yang beroperasi di pulau dengan luas 224 kilometer persegi ini Termasuk PT Mineral Jaya Moligana (MJM) di blok Kaf seluas 914,50 hektar Sama halnya Kampung Umeru yang masuk konsesi BPM Blok Kaf juga merupakan hak ulayat Kampung Sanof Kacepo yang oleh warga diyakini sebagai tempat keramat Kampung Sanof Kacepo Keberadaan manusia di Pulau Gebe ada sejak zaman purbakala Mereka percaya kekuatan supranatural dan mendiami goa-goa sebelum akhirnya menyebar ke pesisir pantai karena transisi kebudayaan adalah dua suku kata: Ge yang berarti di situ dan Be yang berarti di mana disebut-sebut sebagai kampung pertama di Pulau Gebe Marga di kampung Kacepo ini terdiri dari empat kelompok:  Umsipiyat Hak ulayat yang mereka miliki berbatasan dengan Kampung Umera di sungai Tuan hingga Tanjung Safa batas administrasi wilayah ulayat mengikuti ketentuan pemerintahan desa Wilayah administrasi desa beda dengan hak ulayat ketentuan adat mengikuti sistem adat Sangaji yang dibawa dari Kesultanan Tidore ke

Rajab 1241 Hijriyah timur hingga barat bagian wilayah Kesultanan Tidore Guru Besar Hukum Adat Universitas Khairun (Unkhair) Ternate masyarakat hukum adat memiliki tiga kriteria perusahaan seharusnya tidak bisa begitu saja mengabaikan mereka Istilah di masyarakat adat itu tidak ada tanah yang tidak bertuan,” jelasnya pranata adat tersebut terus tumbuh dan berkembang mengikuti perkembangan zaman Hal ini dibuktikan dengan adanya eksistensi Sangaji Gebe dan Sangaji Patani dan Gimelaha (kepala kampung) perbukitan Pulau Fau masih ramai dengan aktivitas hilir-mudik truk mengangkut nikel Sekop eksavator terlihat lincah mengeruk tanah di ujung bukit yang kian menyusut Pulau dalam gugusan Kepulauan Gebe itu hanya berjarak 475 meter dari Desa Kacepo PT Aneka Niaga Prima (ANP) menambang di lahan seluas 459,66 ha Aktivitas perusahaan sebelumnya mendapat penolakan dari para aktivis lingkungan Mereka menilai kegiatan tersebut berpotensi merusak ekosistem Mongabay mengunjungi Pulau Gebe pertengahan Desember 2024 terlihat tongkang mondar-mandir mengangkut ore nikel di perairan hasil kerukan ore nikel perusahan-perusahaan tambang Pulau Gebe itu di bawa ke IWIP Weda yang dimaksud pekerja itu adalah Indonesia Weda Bay Industrial Park (IWIP), kawasan Industri terpadu untuk pengolahan logam. Lokasinya ada di Desa Lelief, Kecamatan Weda, Halmahera Tengah, Malut. Laporan oleh Project Multatuli mengonfirmasi temuan itu pengolahan nikel dilakukan melalui teknologi High Pressure Acid Leaching (HPAL) Perusahaan patungan itu disebut memiliki kapasitas pengolahan terbesar di dunia Keberadaan IWIP merupakan kelanjutan dari kebijakan hilirisasi nikel untuk meningkatkan nilai tambah Bijih nikel diolah menjadi mixed hydroxide precipitate (MHP) Sayangnya, hilirisasi yang banyak dibanggakan pemerintah justru sarat persoalan di lapangan. Seperti pengabaian hak masyarakat adat, pencemaran, hingga memicu deforestasi, sebagaimana riset Aksi Ekologi dan Emansipasi Rakyat (AEER) tahun 2023 Analisa Forest Watch Indonesia (FWI) mengamini hal itu tutupan hutan di Pulau Gebe susut 62,61 hektar dalam kurun 2022-2023 akibat tambang nikel beberapa pulau yang turut dikeruk di antaranya Pulau Fau Anggi Putra Yoga memperkirakan konsesi nikel di pulau-pulau kecil di Malut Hal itu bertentangan dengan UU 1 tahun 2014 tentang Pengelolaan Wilayah Pesisir dan Pulau-pulau Kecil (PWP3K) tambang di pulau kecil hanya akan meningkatkan kerentanan Masyarakat di dalamnya hanya dapat terjebak karena tidak ada lagi yang bisa dimanfaatkan.”  * Liputan ini merupakan persekutuan transisi energi berkeadilan yang didukung Remotivi dan WRI Indonesia Helza Nova Lita dan Fatmie Utarie Nasution [2021].’ Perlindungan Hukum Masyarakat Adat di Wilayah Pertambangan’ Husen Alting [2013].’ Konflik Penguasaan Tanah di Maluku Utara: Rakyat Versus Penguasa Dan Pengusaha’ Foto utama: warga Pulau Gebe tergantung kepada sagu sebagai sumber pangan pokoknya Nasib Warga Kala Tambang Nikel Kuasai Pulau Kabaena   Facebook   Twitter   Instagram   RSS / XML OneFootball's home page Search Settings Sign In Sign InJoinBRI Liga 1: PSIS Terjangkit Penyakit Akut Gilbert Agius Akui Jadi Sumber Masalah yang Harus Diselesaikan | OneFootballBola.com menyinggung soal satu masalah akut yang membuat anak asuhnya harus kembali menelan kekalahan saat berjuang lolos dari zona degradasi BRI Liga 1 2024/2025 Masalah inilah yang memaksa PSIS Semarang kehilangan poin ketika melawat ke markas Semen Padang pada pekan ke-29 BRI Liga 1 2024/2025 Tim Mahesa Jenar kembali kalah karena kehilangan fokus Skuad Kabau Sirah sukses mencetak gol kemenangan pada menit ke-90+8 lewat sepakan Tin Martic.

launch took place on April 28 in the southern coastal city of Zhuhai under the auspices of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Yunzhou Tech Measuring 11 meters long and displacing 12 tonnes the boat integrates high-speed surface transit functionality with submersible endurance It can reach surface speeds up to 36 knots a velocity comparable to that of naval destroyers and heavyweight torpedoes

figure at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, told Xinhua News that the submersible represents a “milestone in China’s independent marine technological innovation,” supporting the country’s ambition to achieve strategic autonomy in key maritime domains Though officially designated for civilian applications the vessel’s specifications and modular architecture imply potential dual-use utility The vessel is equipped with an advanced artificial intelligence decision-making system powered by deep learning algorithms capable of autonomous route planning told Xinhua News that the vessel’s AI-driven autonomy has tripled mission efficiency in complex operational environments compared to manual navigation protocols.  Its core mission set includes typhoon tracking and atmospheric data collection through the launch of onboard meteorological rockets which can be deployed while tracking cyclonic systems The submersible’s endurance profile enables operations under Category 12 typhoon conditions environments characterized by winds exceeding 130 km/h the platform utilizes an advanced propulsion system that alternates between high-speed waterjets and silent magnetic fluid drives.  Proprietary acoustic-dampening coatings reduce operational noise to ambient sea levels enhancing their utility for hydroacoustic monitoring and stealth operations Its payload capacity exceeds 20 mission-specific modules enabling operations including meteorological surveillance and subsea infrastructure inspections.  During recent trials in the South China Sea the vessel successfully mapped 3,000 square kilometers of seabed in just 15 days a rate five times greater than conventional manned survey vessels Additional capabilities include real-time ecological monitoring facilitated by onboard sensors and acoustic detectors capable of observing phenomena such as red tides These functions are particularly relevant given the increasing ecological degradation in the South China Sea as noted in recent assessments by China’s Ministry of Natural Resources 0COMMENTABOUT THE AUTHORKapil Kajal Kapil Kajal is an award-winning journalist with a diverse portfolio spanning defense His work has been featured

deeper layers flow like fudge Drill strings thousands of meters long can buckle under their weight powerful enough for oil at three to five kilometers slow to a crawl beyond ten—one reason the Soviet Kola Superdeep took two decades to finish temperature wrecks electronics and elastomers fails long before rocks reach the 300 °C to 500 °C range that unlocks super-hot resources Overcoming these constraints is the central technical battle of next-generation geothermal Cross the 373 °C and 220 bar threshold, and injected water enters the supercritical phase—neither liquid nor gas, but far more energy-dense than either Laboratory work shows supercritical brine could multiply a conventional geothermal plant’s output by a factor of ten delivering nuclear-scale power from a much smaller wellfield each kilogram of fluid can carry almost twice as much enthalpy as steam at 200 °C slashing the flow rate—and thus the pumping energy—needed for a given megawatt Texas-based Quaise Energy is betting that electromagnetic waves will do what hardened steel cannot A three-inch metal waveguide delivers up to a megawatt of microwave energy directly to the rock face erasing days of costly rig downtime and flattening the economics of ultra-deep wells the hole can be cased with standard steel tubing as it descends Quaise has plasma-tested its system at Sandia National Laboratories and aims for a 3 km demonstration well by 2026 followed by its first 100-MW pilot plant before 2030 Fervo Energy adapts shale-gas know-how to hot dry rock The company drills intersecting horizontal wells at roughly 2.5 km uses high-pressure water to create a stimulated fracture network and then relies on the thermosiphon effect—cold water is denser than hot—to circulate fluid without pumps Early pilots in Nevada hit 3.5 MW; a 400-°C test in Utah targets 90 MW Because the technique leans on ubiquitous oil-field rigs Fervo argues it can replicate plants quickly wherever hot crust exists—potentially 70 percent of the continental United States Other startups are testing sealed “down-hole radiators” in which working fluid never contacts the rock avoiding mineral scaling that can clog open systems Some pair geothermal brines with supercritical carbon dioxide whose buoyancy improves flow while sequestering CO₂ underground Hybrid plants could even co-locate with legacy coal stations and cooling towers while swapping coal burners for geothermal heat exchangers and recycle their coolant in a closed loop They run on standard organic Rankine-cycle turbines already mass-produced for industrial heat recovery Developers contend that once ultra-deep drilling costs fall via waveguides instead of drill bits Next-generation geothermal systems aim to reach depths of 10 km and temperatures up to 500 °C potentially generating massive amounts of clean power with a much smaller land footprint than solar or wind installations Nuclear advocates note that gigawatt reactors offer unmatched power density Geothermal hurdles include front-loaded capital and subsurface risk Drilling success rates must rise above 90 percent and mineral scaling or induced seismicity must be managed to win community trust the absence of long-lived radioactive waste and the ability to site plants near existing grid hubs give geothermal a political edge Induced seismicity—a known side-effect of high-volume hydraulic stimulation—remains a concern Regulators in Utah and Nevada require micro-seismic monitoring and traffic-light systems that shut down injection if tremors exceed preset thresholds.  Water consumption is another issue: closed-loop or CO₂-based cycles could slash withdrawals by an order of magnitude compared with open systems Startups are also experimenting with brine-mineral extraction—lithium even helium—to create additional revenue streams and offset well costs Classic geothermal clusters along tectonic plate boundaries—Iceland and Northern California—where magma lifts hot rock near the surface Enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) aim to go global new hardware could unlock round-the-clock power across continents complementing intermittent renewables and shrinking the need for seasonal battery storage projects that if drilling rates match late-2000s shale growth the US alone could install 90 GW of EGS capacity by 2050 Quaise targets commercial operations “before the decade is out.” Fervo expects its Utah plant to be online in 2026 and has signed power-purchase agreements with Google and utility PacifiCorp and Japan’s Mitsubishi are backing similar European and Asian pilots Success would turn Jules Verne’s “Journey to Earth’s center” into a 21st-century industrial reboot that could make clean baseload power as universal as oil 0COMMENTABOUT THE AUTHORKaif Shaikh Kaif Shaikh is a journalist and writer passionate about turning complex information into clear Kaif's bylines can be found in Times of India Apart from the long list of things he does outside work How worried are US businesses about the impact of the tariff wars On the other hand: Advertising in the US — an industry that's quite sensitive to economic swings — seems to be holding up That's the takeaway I got from a recent conversation with ad veteran Laura Desmond, who has a pretty good point of view on the ad industry. That's because Desmond used to run Starcom Mediavest, a giant ad-planning business. And now she runs Smartly a smaller business that focuses directly on digital advertisers who tend to be more nimble and reactive to trends than those in traditional media Desmond says her clients are thinking about what might happen when Americans really see the impact of tariffs they're mostly acting as if it's business as usual And when it comes to other big potential changes to her industry — like the potential for an actual TikTok ban or government-mandated breakups of Google or Meta — there's even less appetite to break out the crystal balls You can hear all of my conversation with Desmond via my Channels podcast The US government is also in court trying to force the two biggest ad companies — Google and Meta — to break up But it doesn't sound like your clients are spending much time thinking about that Laura Desmond: It is business as usual for brands to be focused on their business have companies like Smartly orchestrate those campaigns So people who are spending money on TikTok today are not coming to you saying "Do you have a plan if TikTok goes away this summer?" Were there conversations like that with some of our customers Were they significant or dominant or overwhelming And that's because our technology gives advertisers the opportunity to shift in real time if they felt like they needed to What about tariffs? I was listening to the Comcast Q1 earnings call They were asked about tariff effects on their business and they said they hadn't seen any yet a lot of that has to do with the fact that there is very little shipping going on between China and the US right now One that would filter all the way through to all of your clients Digital spend tends to be more resilient because it's loved by consumers And so you can make more precision decisions about where to put the next dollar And with so much digital spend now commanding the budgets of big brands and even medium-sized brands But the next four to six weeks will be a big decision point Because if there's no product on the shelves then that's gonna change anybody's advertising campaign What about the notion that consumers might not feel as good about spending under current conditions [consumer] spending that our clients are telling us about is staying solid "We're going to delay a decision for a week or a month because we want to see how this shakes out?" I think there's scenario planning that largely is happening now that will be kicked into gear That's going to cut into people's ability to feel like they can purchase one more thing or have one more experience or take one more trip But if tariffs really kick in across the board as sweeping and as large as what we've been hearing you could see advertising forecasts drop as much by 50% Digital does not get out of this unscathed We've got plenty of stuff to take care of — we just cannot spend much time thinking about what might happen in a month or a week?" That is a focused mindset: Control what you can control Understand where you're going to spend your next dollar Understand how you're gonna make your creative even more effective so that it converts consumers and people engage That's what you do if you're a CFO and you're CEO And that is what we're seeing across the board Forum Air milik Rakyat Sedunia (People’s Water Forum – PWF) yang semestinya berlangsung di Bali sejak 20 Mei 2024 lalu mendapatkan ancaman dan kekerasan dari aparat negara dan aktor non negara PWF merupakan wadah bagi kelompok masyarakat sipil yang mengkritisi Forum Air Sedunia (World Water Forum) yang diselenggarakan oleh pemerintah atas dasar kepentingan modal tanpa melibatkan warga secara penuh akses terhadap air merupakan bagian dari hak asasi manusia yang pemenuhannya  wajib dijamin oleh negara Represifitas oleh negara bukan tanpa sebab Pemerintah merupakan pihak yang memiliki kepentingan untuk mendapatkan akses modal agar dapat membangun sejumlah proyek infrastruktur penyediaan dan pengelolaan air Hal ini terbukti dari disepakatinya pendanaan Sistem Penyediaan Air Minum (SPAM) antara pemerintah melalui Direktur Jenderal Cipta Karya Kementerian Pekerjaan Umum dan Perumahan Rakyat dengan K-Water perusahaan milik Korea Selatan dengan nilai investasi senilai Rp2,4 triliun pada tahun 2018 Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (KPK) pernah menangani kasus suap pembangunan SPAM di Kementerian PUPR yang melibatkan mantan Anggota Badan Pemeriksa Keuangan ada 8 (delapan) orang tersangka dari unsur pemerintah dan swasta yang turut ditetapkan sebagai tersangka Modus operandi yang terungkap oleh KPK terbilang umum dimana uang suap tersebut diberikan oleh pihak swasta agar pejabat SPAM dapat mengatur lelang proyek dan memberikan kemudahan dalam pengawasan proyek serta dapat dengan mudah mencairkan anggaran Pembangunan yang berkaitan dengan sektor air telah masuk dalam Proyek Strategis Nasional berdasarkan catatan Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) sejak 2016 hingga 2023 pemerintah telah melakukan pengadaan sebanyak 761 paket yang terdiri dari bendungan dan jaringan air baku dengan nilai Rp76,8 triliun yang tersebar di seluruh Indonesia 29 proyek diantaranya dikerjakan di Bali dengan total anggaran Rp2,5 triliun Masuknya investasi ke Indonesia perlu juga diantisipasi oleh seluruh investor karena maraknya praktik korupsi Berdasarkan hasil pemantauan tren penindakan kasus korupsi ICW tahun 2016 hingga 2023 menunjukan bahwa terdapat 128 kasus korupsi berkaitan dengan proyek di sektor pengairan Proyek tersebut beragam mulai dari peningkatan jaringan irigasi hingga proyek instalasi jaringan pipa PDAM (Perusahaan Daerah Air Minum) kerugian negara yang timbul akibat korupsi di 128 proyek tadi dengan peringkat tertinggi ditempati oleh proyek fiktif (42 kasus) kemudian disusul oleh penyalahgunaan anggaran (29 kasus) Alih-alih menunjukkan keberhasilan pemerintah dalam mengelola sektor perairan Indonesia sebagai tuan rumah Forum Air Dunia justru menunjukkan kepada negara-negara peserta bahwa pengelolaan sektor air masih sarat praktik korupsi Ini juga berdampak pada situasi dimana warga di banyak daerah terpaksa membeli air bersih dengan harga yang tidak murah dikarenakan pasokan air bersih yang diterima tidak mencukupi atau mengeluarkan biaya lebih untuk membeli atau menyewa pompa air warga juga harus bertarung dengan represifitas saat mempertahankan haknya — atau bahkan saat sekadar ingin berdiskusi Represifitas yang menyasar kelompok masyarakat sipil khususnya pejuang lingkungan dan pejuang hak atas air merupakan bentuk nyata tindakan pemerintah dan aktor berpengaruh non-negara lainnya untuk menutup ruang partisipasi publik Hal ini tentu dapat mempengaruhi terhadap upaya warga dalam mengawasi proyek pembangunan pemerintah yang cenderung korup 6Jakarta Selatan 12740Tel.+6221.7901885 +6221.7994015Fax Copyright 2022 - ICW All Rights Reserved Samsung Newsroom's videos will no longer be supported on Internet Explorer.

Reactor (ITER) announced the completion of all components for its pulsed superconducting electromagnet system the largest and most powerful ever assembled will serve as the “electromagnetic heart” of ITER’s fusion reactor “The final component was the sixth module of the Central Solenoid built and tested in the United States,” said the ITER “When it is assembled at the ITER site in Southern France the Central Solenoid will be the system’s most powerful magnet strong enough to lift an aircraft carrier.” This crucial component was built and rigorously tested in the United States before its shipment to the ITER site in Southern France this pulsed magnet system will weigh a staggering 3,000 tons and “will work in tandem with six ring-shaped Poloidal Field (PF) magnets These superconducting magnets will perform a critical role in the fusion process initiating and confining a superheated plasma within the Tokamak ITER Director-General Pietro Barabaschi hailed this achievement: “What makes ITER unique is not only its technical complexity but the framework of international cooperation that has sustained it through changing political landscapes.” “This achievement proves that when humanity faces existential challenges like climate change and energy security we can overcome national differences to advance solutions.” The process begins with injecting a few grams of hydrogen fuel – deuterium and tritium gas – into ITER’s massive Tokamak chamber The powerful pulsed magnet system then kicks in and sends an electrical current that ionizes the hydrogen gas This is where the “invisible cage” comes into play The magnets generate intense magnetic fields that confine and shape this ionized plasma preventing it from touching the reactor’s walls External heating systems then raise the plasma’s temperature to 150 million degrees Celsius ten times hotter than the sun’s core “At this temperature, the atomic nuclei of plasma particles combine and fuse releasing massive heat energy,” explained the ITER in a press release ITER has been designed to demonstrate fusion power’s scientific and technological feasibility the experiment is projected to produce 500 megawatts of fusion power from a mere 50 megawatts of input heating power – a tenfold energy gain “At this efficiency level, the fusion reaction largely self-heats, becoming a ‘burning plasma,” added the press release ITER is an international collaboration involving more than 30 countries seven ITER members contributed significantly through the in-kind provision of crucial components.  the United States built the Central Solenoid while Russia delivered a large Poloidal Field magnet and superconductors Europe manufactured several Poloidal Field magnets and Toroidal Field coils creating a

the entire pulsed superconducting electromagnet system represents a major leap forward for ITER and the future of clean energy “The ITER Project is the embodiment of hope we show that a sustainable energy future and a peaceful path forward are possible,” concluded Barabaschi 0COMMENTABOUT THE AUTHORAman Tripathi An active and versatile journalist and news editor He has covered regular and breaking news for several leading publications and news media with a strong curiosity about all things that fall under science and tech Chris Young Ursa Major The US Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) has awarded rocket engine manufacturer Ursa Major a $28.5 million contract The agreement will see Ursa Major perform a flight demonstration of its Draper engine which could eventually be utilized in the Trump Administration’s Golden Dome missile defense system The Draper engine is an easily storable propulsion system designed for hypersonic missile applications Its quick-launch capabilities make it ideal for missile defense The AFRL contract covers a flight demonstration as well as the integration of Ursa Major’s Draper engine into a test vehicle Amid rising global tensions, hypersonic weapons have become a top priority for the world’s leading military powers. These weapons can reach speeds of roughly 6,000 km/h, or Mach 5 – five times the speed of sound. This means they can reach anywhere on Earth in a matter of minutes Ursa Major’s Draper engine is designed to produce 4,000 lbs of thrust what really sets it apart is the fact it uses storable “Because of their tactical configuration are uniquely positioned to deliver to the warfighter a hypersonic capability that is manufacturable at scale and at a fraction of the cost of alternatives,” Jablonsky continued Ursa Major’s Draper engine uses a non-cryogenic kerosene peroxide fuel combination That fuel remains liquid at room temperature meaning it offers a simpler storage solution than the typical liquid oxygen engine Liquid oxygen engines must be kept at extremely low temperatures meaning they require complex cooling systems The Draper engine’s storability and quick-launch capability makes it well-suited to the Golden Dome missile defense system. The Golden Dome was introduced by the Trump administration in a January executive order inspired by Israel’s Iron Dome system will be designed as a missile shield capable of intercepting hypersonic and cruise missile attacks Musk donated over $250 million to Trump’s election campaign Ursa Major completed ground tests of the Draper engine last year it has performed over 200 hot fire tests of Draper The company aims to perform the engines first demonstration flight by 2027 1COMMENTABOUT THE AUTHORChris Young Chris Young is a journalist blogger and tech geek at heart who’s reported on the likes of the Mobile World Congress Flydoscope and some of the world’s biggest tech companies satellites and other world-changing innovations.  by Sean Hollister FacebookThreads Photo by Sean Hollister / The VergeSean Hollister is a senior editor and founding member of The Verge who covers gadgets He spent 15 years editing the likes of CNET and Engadget.Since Neuromancer took the sci-fi world by storm in 1984 computing nerds have pined for a “cyberdeck” — the ultimate in personal portable PCs for surfing and hacking the world But the 10-inch GPD Win Max 2 is the closest I’ve seen to an off-the-shelf cyberdeck worth buying It’s far from the best laptop or gaming handheld. It’s an ergonomic compromise in five ways, and the webcam is trash! It’s also a portable computing dream. It doubles as a gaming handheld, with joysticks and buttons smuggled away in hidden compartments. It optionally triples as a desktop gaming PC, with a rare Oculink port that lets you plug in a beefy eGPU It has more full-size ports than most small laptops can dream of Perhaps most importantly, it has the most competent keyboard I’ve used on a computer this small, with near-zero learning curve. I’m writing every word you’re reading right now, at my normal speed, on the Win Max 2. I’ve spent many full days working from this 10-inch notebook, and it’s tackled everything. I even edited a recent Today I’m Toying With video on this tiny PC GPD’s been building tiny laptops for around a decade and this one’s tantalizingly close to something I might actually pay for — if I could only convince the company to change a few key things Excellent keyboard for the sizeStellar array of portseGPU-ready both Oculink and USB4Doubles as a gaming handheld Awkward to holdWebcam is atrociousTiny touchpad makes you stretchBattery doesn’t last the day the GPD Win Max 2 seems like it should be in the upper echelon of handhelds You get your choice of AMD’s HX 370 “Strix Point” or its Ryzen 7 8840U chip a high-res 2,560 x 1,600 IPS screen covered in Corning’s Gorilla Glass 5 for durability and a larger-than-average 67 watt-hour battery to power the whole thing For once, I’m not talking about how terrible Windows can be With a large 10.1-inch touchscreen and a full keyboard it’s the rare handheld where Microsoft’s OS is easy to manage easy to tap touchscreen buttons and drag windows around Nor am I talking about the 2.2-pound weight — while my arms do get tired holding it like a Nintendo Switch I can usually just open the laptop’s hinge You get two analog sticks that feel nigh-identical to Nintendo Switch save the drift-resistant Hall effect sensors underneath The PSP-style translucent D-pad is responsive You get clicky microswitches under each bumper the main problem is that to hold those game pad controls you have to grip the laptop’s rigid aluminum and resin chassis which has no real dampening to isolate my hands from the handheld’s grumbling guts I can feel every fan vibration traveling through my fingers but the company’s suggested fan adjustments haven’t fixed it The second pain point is the screen. 2560x1600 is far too many pixels for AMD’s portable chips to push in even moderately intensive games — and because GPD chose a fixed 60Hz screen nothing feels as smooth as on 90Hz and 120Hz VRR handhelds like the Steam Deck OLED, Asus ROG Ally X, or Ayaneo 3 It’s a good display for productivity or watching movies particularly considering the Win Max 2’s decent DTS:X digital sound enhancements but I will no longer buy a gaming handheld with a 60Hz fixed refresh screen And, at least with the $1,100 AMD 8840U and 32GB model I tested, it’s not always faster in games than the $800 Asus ROG Ally X While it does seem to have a performance advantage at 15W I got over eight hours of magic poker game Balatro my best-case-scenario test for these handhelds since it’s non-intensive; the Win Max 2 managed only five hours and 22 minutes on a charge I also saw just two hours of Armored Core 6 you can drain the Win Max 2’s battery in an hour and a half with more intense games if you try The joysticks and buttons are still accessible I’ve nearly beaten Lorelei and the Laser Eyes playing exclusively on the Win Max 2 And that’s before you consider that you can genuinely plug an RTX 5090 external graphics card dock into this thing They have to be fully powered down before you yank the cable So that’s the Win Max 2 as a gaming machine it’s largely the same story: uniquely intriguing until you bump into ugly shortcomings but it is actively unpleasant to view you through this webcam,” said one colleague; another called the microphone “shit.” The good news: the Win Max 2 has plenty of ports for practically any peripheral you’d care to add While you won’t find the Ethernet and RS-232/serial/DB9 jacks that sysadmins might want in a true cyberdeck — GPD sells a different modular laptop for that — this one still has ports to spare: Adding storage is a cinch: not only are both SD card slots full-depth, so nothing’s sticking out of your PC, but there’s a modular SSD bay on the bottom to quickly add a short M.2 2230 stick, on top of its internal M.2 2280 one, without cracking the case. Should GPD have sacrificed some of those ports to make the stout Win Max 2 thinner? I don’t think so, though you should know it won’t fit neatly into many laptop sleeves. But GPD could ditch the modular SSD and modem bays for extra battery capacity. I’m only getting 5–6 hours of work done on a charge, not enough for a full workday, but a larger battery feels possible with some design tweaks. So: Battery, webcam, better mousing, vibration dampening, and a variable refresh rate screen. Then, GPD might have a tiny computer I can wholeheartedly recommend.

Reporting by Ananda Teresia and Fransiska Nangoy; Editing by Martin Petty Aamir Khollam AndreAnita/iStock The internet’s latest obsession is an absurd hypothetical: could 100 human men defeat a single gorilla in a fight What started as a question on X (formerly Twitter) on April 24 has since spiraled into full-blown discourse across Reddit wildlife experts have stepped in to offer some reality to the fantasy The question isn’t new. It dates back to at least 2020, when a user on Reddit’s r/whowouldwin subreddit introduced the scenario with detailed conditions But this week’s resurgence on X sent the conversation viral once again inspiring everything from serious threads to chaotic memes While most agree the fight would be brutal and bloody the debate centers on whether human strategy and endurance could overpower raw animal strength Tara Stoinski, president and chief scientific officer of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund, weighed in during an interview with USA TODAY they’re 25 times stronger than a human being.’ I’ve just seen these numbers that I don’t know if they’re based in reality,” Stoinski said if there’s been some over exaggeration of the size and strength of gorillas but that is not to dismiss the fact that they are very strong.” but emphasized the potential edge humans could gain from sheer numbers and coordination “[I think] in terms of kind of being able to prolong a battle that could eventually wear a gorilla out our ability to really cooperate and coordinate I think those two elements kind of work against a gorilla’s favor,” she said you have a gorilla that’s fighting off people in the front but you can have people attacking them from the back so their endurance is going to be a lot longer than a single gorilla who might be fighting for hours,” she added Wildlife biologist Kaleb Judd echoed that sentiment in an April 27 thread on X saying that although casualties would be inevitable the human group could ultimately win with strategy and teamwork While the debate has provided a strange kind of entertainment Stoinski used the moment to remind people of a far more urgent concern “The real fight,” she said, “is the fight for their survival.” Many gorilla species are critically endangered due to habitat loss from deforestation, mining, and agriculture And despite their portrayal in pop culture Stoinski said gorillas are not the aggressive brutes they’re made out to be “This myth that’s kind of been perpetuated about them as being so aggressive is actually not their personality,” she said experts hope we remember the real enemy isn’t a gorilla — it’s extinction
