LPPF is preparing actively for both the experiments with beryllium electrodes expected in the spring and for the shift to hydrogen-boron fuel expected before year-end. The research team is planning the new vacuum system that will ensure that any beryllium dust the machine produces will be safely trapped in filters. As well, efforts are underway …
LPP Fusion is nearing their minimum funding level for their latest round of financing. LPPFusion has raised $370,000 out of a minimum $400,000 funding round. LPPFusion is a small New Jersey R and D firm with the ambitious goal of reaching and developing a new route to producing fusion energy, the energy that powers the …
LPPFusion has launched an equity crowdfunding campaign to raise $1 million to fund the next major stage of their research to develop a cheap, clean, safe and unlimited source of energy. The campaign, which went live at Noon EST, Nov. 9 on the leading crowdfunding website Wefunder, is the first time that shares in LPPFusion …
Utilizing the bacterial CRISPR/Cas adaptive immune system, researchers at Harvard have developed a method for permanently recording molecular events in living cells Before this experiment, the most information any scientist had ever permanently uploaded into a living cell was 11 bits of information. That’s a mere 11 zeros and ones of binary data, and less …
Tesla’s Chief Technology Officer JB Straubel said that Tesla mostly shifted their staff to work on the next generation Model 3 (26 minutes into the video below). The Model 3 is expected to have a starting price of $35,000 before any incentives and a range of more than 200 miles. The company is working on …
Lexus announced Wednesday it has created a hoverboard. “It works. It’s not a hoax,” says spokesman Moe Durand. Lexus says it won’t be sold. It’s for demonstration purposes. It operates using magnetic levitation, with liquid nitrogen-cooled superconductors and permanent magnets that “combine to allow Lexus to create the impossible.” It says it is working with …
Stanford University scientists have invented the first high-performance aluminum battery that’s fast-charging, long-lasting and inexpensive. Researchers say the new technology offers a safe alternative to many commercial batteries in wide use today. “We have developed a rechargeable aluminum battery that may replace existing storage devices, such as alkaline batteries, which are bad for the environment, …

Skyscraper chip researchers’ leveraged three breakthroughs. 1. a new technology for creating transistors, those tiny gates that switch electricity on and off to create digital zeroes and ones. 2. a new type of computer memory that lends itself to multistory fabrication. 3. a technique to build these new logic and memory technologies into high-rise structures …
New research has demonstrated how glass can be manipulated to create a material that will allow computers to transfer information using light. This development could significantly increase computer processing speeds and power in the future. The challenge was to find a single material that can effectively use and control light to carry information around a …
