A direct air capture facility known as "Mammoth" will remove up to 36,000 tons of CO2 from the atmosphere each year – nearly 10 times the capacity of its predecessor. The company involved is aiming for gigatons per year by 2050.
Researchers have successfully generated 69 megajoules (MJ) of energy using the Joint European Torus (JET) – the largest amount ever in a fusion experiment and a new world record.
The first functional semiconductor made from graphene has been created. This could enable smaller and faster electronic devices and may have applications for quantum computing.
One of the world's most powerful supercomputers has simulated the largest and densest neutron stars. This new model shows there is a 90% chance that they contain quark-matter cores.
Computing giant IBM has launched the first utility-scale quantum computer, the first 1,000+ qubit chip, and the most efficient quantum processor in terms of error correction.
A new direct air capture (DAC) facility developed by California-based startup Heirloom uses limestone rocks to pull already-emitted CO2 from Earth's atmosphere.
California-based startup Atom Computing has announced a quantum computer featuring 1,225 qubits, the first to break the 1,000+ barrier, which it plans to release in 2024.
A study on Pangaea Ultima finds that the hypothetical supercontinent will make Earth uninhabitable for most forms of life in 250 million years, due to extreme temperatures.
