טירוף האנרגיה מהיתוך: האם אנחנו קרובים מתמיד לאנרגיה נקייה בלתי מוגבלת?

כדי להיכנס להיתוך עם דלק דאוטריום-טריטיום יש להעלות את הטמפרטורה לכ-150 מיליון מעלות צלזיוס כדי להתגבר על הדחייה האלקטרוסטטית. ITER הוא כור היתוך מגנטי בדרום צרפת, ממומן על ידי 33 מדינות, שמטרתו להפיק 500 מגה-ואט למשך 400 שניות באמצעות 50 מגה-ואט חימום

  • Osaka University Demonstrates Cloud-Connected Ion Trap Qubit with Automated Remote Operation
    December 7, 2025, 8:22 PM EST. A Osaka University research group at the Center for Quantum Information and Quantum Biology, led by Koichiro Miyanishi and Kenji Toyoda, demonstrated cloud-connected remote operation of an ion-trap quantum computer. For the first time in Japan, an ¹⁷¹Yb⁺ linear Paul trap, its control system, and the cloud software work together to execute a single-qubit gate remotely. The system uses automation such as automatic ion loading, laser-position correction, and continuous status monitoring, enabling sustained 24/7 operation without direct human interaction. The open-source platform OQTOPUS enables the cloud connection. The team achieved 94% fidelity for state preparation/readout and successful Raman-transition manipulation. This work lays groundwork for remote access to ion-trap qubits for research and education, with future plans for two-qubit gates and multi-ion systems.
  • Nvidia-Backed AI Stock to Watch in 2026: CoreWeave's Neocloud Expansion
    December 7, 2025, 7:54 PM EST. CoreWeave is positioned as a neocloud provider that builds GPU-heavy data centers and rents access via a cloud-based platform-an approach widely adopted by hyperscalers. Nvidia's stake in CoreWeave and other AI plays underscores the strategic interest in AI infrastructure ahead of 2026. CoreWeave's backlog swelled to $55.6 billion, with marquee commitments from OpenAI, a multiyear deal with Meta, and Microsoft as the largest customer (roughly 67% of revenue). While customer concentration poses a risk, the accelerating demand for AI workloads and the move toward external AI infrastructure suggest CoreWeave could capture additional share as it broadens beyond a single hyperscaler.
  • Apple TV to stream all F1 races in the US with onboard driver cams and Multiview
    December 7, 2025, 7:52 PM EST. Apple will make all F1 races in the US available through the Apple TV subscription starting in 2026, with ESPN's current coverage ending after this season. A new ad teases the F1 channel inside the TV app, offering practice, qualifying, sprint and Grand Prix sessions at no extra charge beyond the Apple TV plan. Apple has signed a five-year exclusive broadcast deal for the US. Screenshots show onboard driver cams and Multiview to display multiple angles, compatible on Apple TV, iPad, and Vision Pro. Hardcore fans can still sign into F1.TV via Apple TV login, but the primary experience is a free perk of the Apple TV subscription. Pricing remains $12.99/mo or $99/yr, with more features to come before the preseason and March weekend.
  • Michael Burry's Bearish View on AI Stocks: Could Tesla Be the Next Target?
    December 7, 2025, 7:50 PM EST. Renowned investor Michael Burry remains bearish on AI stocks, warning that valuations are frothy and the CAPE ratio is near late-1990s peaks. He reportedly bought put options on Nvidia (NVDA) and Palantir Technologies in Q3. The article argues Palantir's P/S and P/E multiples are stretched while Nvidia's accounting debate centers on depreciation and AI hardware lifecycles. It also proposes Tesla (TSLA) could be the next mega-cap AI target. The gist: if AI spending decelerates, earnings and margins could tighten despite hype. Critics note Nvidia and its customers are audited and well-led, but the debate over whether these signs signal a true crash or a temporary dust-up remains unresolved.
  • Pokémon GO Events This Week (Dec 8-14, 2025): Well Armed, Gigantamax Snorlax Day, Spotlight Hours
    December 7, 2025, 7:36 PM EST. This week in Pokémon GO kicks off the first full week of the Precious Paths season, featuring the Well Armed event (Dec 11-16) with Clobbopus/Grapploct and boosted odds for Shiny Dynamax Hitmonchan/Hitmonlee. Don't miss the Gigantamax Snorlax Max Battle Day on Dec 14 (2-5 pm local), when Power Spots host more frequent Gigantamax Battles and may yield a Shiny Snorlax. The daily line-up includes Max Battles with Cryogonal (Dec 8-14, 6-7 pm) and a Spotlight Hour for Shieldon (Dec 9, 6-7 pm) with 2x XP and 2x Transfer Candy. Raid Hour features Kyurem (Dec 10, 6-7 pm). Five-Star raids run Kyurem (Dec 4-13) and Reshiram (Dec 13-22); Mega Raids feature Gyarados (Dec 4-13) and Abomasnow (Dec 13-22). Shadow Raids run daily; expect a possible Shiny Shadow Heatran during Precious Paths.
