A significant breakthrough in physics of materials has been made to further to increase efficiency in production of energy. New non-fragile carbon composites were developed as well as new superconductors.
Clean coal technology discovered
Energy industry in number of countries will be still to a large extent based on conventional coal energy. Despite of the fact that coal is the most pollutive fossil fuel, it is still to be the most widely used source of energy ...
A breakthrough discovery in plasma physics
A shocking discovery has been made in ITER, which enables fast implementation of thermonuclear fusion into practical utilization in energy production.
A considerable increase in efficiency of renewable resources
An ongoing rapid development of renewable resources of energy results in increase of their efficiency, availability and stability. As a result, some countries start to consider renewable resources as a real alternative to conve...
Severe accident of a nuclear power plant
Although the risk of a severe accident of a nuclear power plant is extremely low, it is still not a zero-risk. In the past, at least two major accidents of nuclear power plants occurred – in Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, w...
The mystery of 21 December 2012
Various historic systems, both evolutionary (e.g. I-T’ing or systems of ancient Egypt or Indian system of Vedas, Bible – revelation of John the Baptist), and calendar (e.g. Mayan calendar, Platonian year) indicate that arou...
Existence of a cold fusion confirmed
Since the 90s, there have been struggles among nuclear researchers over the issue of a cold fusion, achieved by electrolysis. As the scientific and technological development advanced along the time, new nuclear processes were d...
Revolutionary breakthrough in storage of energy from renewab ...
One of the most significant shortcomings of renewable sources of energy is their vulnerability, instability and low concentration. This in turn leads to utilization of back-up energy sources and makes the whole process of energ...
Terrorist nuclear material misuse
The most convenient terrorist misuse of nuclear material is to create so-called dirty bomb, a radiological weapon which combines radioactive material with conventional explosives. Through a radiological dispersal device a radio...
The oil crisis in the 1970s demonstrated how serious the impact of a sudden black-out of oil supply on advanced economies can be. As a result, e.g. France oriented its energy sector to be sustained by a nuclear energy. If this ...
The research of thermonuclear fusion has advanced to the extent that the thermonuclear fusion is now started to be utilized as a source of energy production, next to the current nuclear power plants, whose energy production is ...
Smal-scale nuclear power to meet private energy demands
Countries, cities, villages and corporations turn to micro scale nuclear reactors in order to meet the energy demands which are otherwise not reached. The world is running out of oil and it all the time faces more and more stri...
