The world’s biggest fusion reactor is now 50 percent complete, with experts now estimating it will be ready for its first stage of operation in December 2025, with the first power plants up and running by 2040.
Fusion energy—the same process that powers the sun—potentially offers near limitless clean energy. If scientists can find a way to harness this source, it could provide enough electricity for millions of years.

Khi ngựa vằn, voi, hoa anh đào xuất hiện lạ lẫm ở Thanh Thuỷ – Bình Sơn đã làm cho nhiều người cảm thấy bích họa kiểu này đang phá hỏng không gian quê…
TTO – Từ khi con đường gốm sứ xuất hiện dịp kỷ niệm 1.000 năm Thăng Long đến nay, nhiều mô hình trang trí mỹ thuật công cộng lần lượt ra đời. Đằng sau bức tranh đa sắc của mỹ thuật công cộng ở nhiều thành phố, còn có nhiều điều đáng bàn…
Các đô thị lớn phải rất thận trọng khi trang trí mỹ thuật nơi công cộng và phải có ý kiến các nhà chuyên môn để tính toán kỹ, làm thành phố đẹp hơn chứ không phải làm cho thành phố xấu đi

Tây Nguyên giao rừng tràn lan
Bài 1: Rừng cộng đồng bị… “cộng đồng” phá!
Trong thời gian qua, các tỉnh Tây Nguyên đã giao nhiều diện tích rừng tự nhiên cho cộng đồng, cá nhân, nhóm hộ… để bảo vệ, quản lý và phát triển rừng. Nhưng mô hình giao rừng này đã nhanh chóng thất bại vì chủ nhân được giao rừng lại phá rừng hoặc bỏ mặc rừng bị phá.
Rừng Tây Nguyên có vai trò đặc biệt quan trọng, không những cho nội vùng mà còn chi phối rất lớn đến nguồn nước, môi trường sinh thái và phát triển kinh tế – xã hội của các tỉnh ven biển miền Trung, Đông Nam bộ và ĐBSCL. Trong những năm qua, các tỉnh Tây Nguyên đã thực hiện nhiều chính sách giao đất, giao rừng cho người dân và doanh nghiệp để bảo vệ rừng. Lợi dụng các chính sách này, nhiều cá nhân và doanh nghiệp đã ngang nhiên chặt phá, chuyển đổi rừng tràn lan để lấy đất sản xuất nông nghiệp.
Electric vehicles sales surged to a record in the third quarter, largely driven by strong demand in China.
Sales of battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids exceeded 287,000 units in the three months ended in September, 63 percent higher than the same quarter a year ago and up 23 percent from the second quarter, according to a report released Tuesday by Bloomberg New Energy Finance. China accounted for more than half of global sales as its market for electric cars doubled amid government efforts to curb pollution.
“The Chinese government is very focused on pushing up EV sales,” said Aleksandra O’Donovan, advanced transport analyst at BNEF and one of the authors of the report. “One reason for that is the local pollution levels in the cities, and a second is for China to build domestic heroes to compete internationally in this market.”
BNEF expects global EV sales to surpass 1 million units this year for the first time. The market for electrified transport is starting to pick up speed as charging infrastructure becomes more accessible and manufacturers roll out models with longer driving ranges. In 2017, many established carmakers from Jaguar Land Rover to Volvo Cars announced plans to bring electric versions of their vehicles to market in the next few years.

ADB.org_Southern Meghalaya in far northeastern India is one of the wettest places on Earth, crisscrossed by fast-flowing rivers and mountain streams. Here bridges aren’t built – they’re grown, ensuring connectivity in a remote area.
Local tribes identified a species of Indian rubber tree with an incredibly strong root system that flourishes in this region. The roots of the ficus elastic grow on huge boulders along the riverbanks, or even in the middle of the rivers.
To make the roots grow in the right direction, local tribes use different techniques from simply pulling the roots to tying or twisting them, until over time the roots formed the desired architectural structure.
Root bridges, also used in Indonesia, are a great example of how green infrastructure can provide alternative solutions to deliver sustainable connectivity. The normal course in Meghalaya would have been a bridge, but that would have been difficult and expensive in such areas.
Green infrastructure not yet core part of urban infrastructure planning
Unfortunately, this approach is the exception rather than the rule. Green infrastructure today falls short of being a part of urban infrastructure core planning and asset inventory. It lacks provisions for long-term maintenance and management, as is done for other essential services.
When I studied architecture and urban planning in Chandigarh, an Indian city designed in 1966 by the famous Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier, I realized that cities are like people. They have interlinked systems with dependencies on nature – land, air, and water. Tiếp tục đọc “The architecture of resilience”
