General Fusion Funded to Build Scientific Breakeven Fusion Machine by 2026

General Fusion announced a new Magnetized Target Fusion (MTF) machine that will fast-track the company’s technical progress. The planned fusion machines is to achieve fusion conditions of over 100 million degrees Celsius by 2025, and progress toward scientific breakeven by 2026. They completed the first close of its Series F raise for a combined $25 …

Broad Band Mott Localization Theory for Hot LK99 Superconductivity

Channai and Canadian researchers presented a theory for LK99 superconductivity. They have presented a couple of scenarios, keeping solid state and quantum chemical constraints in mind and suggested possibility of hot superconductivity via electronic mechanism of doped Spin 1/2 Mott insulator, utilizing broad band Mott localization. Their theory makes use of doped spin- 1/2 doped …

Minimal Model for the Flat Bands in Copper-substituted Lead Phosphate Apatite

Discussion— In conclusion, two canadian researhcers have proposed a minimal two-band model which reproduces the main features of the Cu dzx and dzy flat bands predicted to appear in a copper-substituted lead apatite. They hope the model facilitates the investigation of the fascinating strongly correlated physics which could be hosted by these bands. As a …

Canada’s Population Surges

Canada has added 700,000 people to its population over the last 5 months (from Feb, 2023). This is a rate of population increase of 140,000 per month or about 1.7 million per year. If this population increase was sustained then Canada would have 40.9 million people at the end of 2023 and 42.6 million people …

National Economies That Already Hit Economic Wall and Are Flat or Declining

I have predicted the relative success of the Canadian economy by 2040-2050. This is NOT predicting an economic miracle for Canada but avoiding economic disaster. Japan, Germany, UK, France and Italy have all ALREADY hit an economic and demographic wall. They have ALREADY flat, aging and even declining populations. It is a prediction based upon …

How Canada Could Become the Third or Fourth Largest Economy in the World by the 2040s

Canada could become the third largest economy in the world by the 2040s. Canada has more than doubled its population growth rate to 2.7% to 3.0% per year in the last two years. This is adding 1.0 to 1.3 million people per year. Canada is mainly adding college educated people from India, Asia and Europe. …
