Fusion energy may satisfy all our energy needs. Making the process work in a continuous manner is not a simple matter. We are still talking about output in seconds, but the Korean Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR) facility recently set a world record by keeping its plasma at a high temperature of 180 million degrees Fahrenheit for 20 seconds, almost that time. Twice. The second best effort so far.
KSTAR’s ultimate goal is to operate at this temperature for 5 minutes without interruption by 2025. This will be another key step in making fusion reactors a scientific fact rather than a science fiction. Today, we also have Tesla updates, iCloud dilemmas and more scientific breakthroughs.

This may result in net zero emissions from air travel.
Scientists from the University of Oxford were nominated as the least likely science headlines this year and have successfully converted carbon dioxide into aviation fuel. This technology effectively reverses the process of burning fuel. The team heated a mixture of citric acid, hydrogen, and iron-manganese-potassium catalysts to convert carbon dioxide into liquid fuel that can power jet aircraft.
This method is cheap, simple and uses common materials. In fact, it is cheaper than the process of converting hydrogen and water into fuel. However, these studies are being communicated with industry partners and have not found any major scientific obstacles. This conversion process will allow airlines to retain their existing aircraft and achieve carbon neutrality until they are ready for environmental advancement. It’s like a hybrid energy plane, but it’s not.

However, the outside is completely effective.
BuzzFeed News According to the report, due to a policy prohibiting the use of swimsuits and underwear photos indoors, Bumble took pictures of artist Cali Rockowitz wearing a bra. Obviously, as long as the camera is “outside”, a bikini top or shirtless look is fine. No, obviously, you cannot edit photos to fake outdoor photos.
A spokesperson told BuzzFeed This policy took effect in 2016 after receiving complaints from users and research. The shirtless bathroom selfie is the “most waved”. Users pointed out this inconsistency-men post indoor selfies, so why don’t women have bras and swimsuits? Bumble has not yet fully clarified its policy.

That annoying holiday exploded.
If you encounter problems during the weekend, get your newly installed iPad or Apple Watch to work, or are called in to help relatives, you are not alone. On Christmas Day, Apple warned of iCloud account and login issues. The company didn’t say much in the alert, but it told a Twitter user that “high volume” was creating problems.
Apple managed to resolve this issue at 4:35 pm Eastern Time on December 26, or less than 36 hours after launch.
