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...
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...
Ongoing radicalization of fundamental islamist groups
Low political will and dedication to resolve conflicts in Middle East region has a consequence in ongoing radicalization of various islamist groups in the region. With growing capabilities, these groups can acquire means of mas...
Increasing dependence of EU on import of fossil fuels
