Europe is preparing a major new AI-optimised supercomputer. The LUMI-AI supercomputer will be installed in Kajaani, Finland in 2027. It is designed for next-generation AI workflows involving large datasets, while also supporting large-scale simulations and data-intensive scientific applications. The LUMI AI is expected to deliver around ten times...
It is part of its "Seven Major SEED" (Strategic Emerging Engines for Disruptive Innovation) initiative unveiled on 12 August 2026. It includes seven projects aimed to secure new growth engines for South Korea by focusing on three areas: future clean energy, next-generation frontier technologies and advanced supply chain ecosystem.
Helium 3 is an isotope of helium that is exceptionally rare on Earth, but scientists believe the Moon's surface contains larger amounts. Helium 3 has attracted attention for its potential use as a fuel for future nuclear fusion. It is estimated that, in theory, 25–30 tons of Helium 3 could power the entire United States for a year. In addition,...
Current global electricity grids could wrap around the Earth 2,000 times? The total length is 80 million kilometres, yet it is not enough. According to the IEA analysis, the world might need extra 50 million kilometres of grids by 2040 to satisfy growing demand for electricity. In addition, 30 million kilometres of existing grids need to...
China plans to construct a deep-water station in the South China Sea. The base will be anchored two kilometres below the surface and designed for six persons. The project is led by the China National Space Administration and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which signals a convergence of space and maritime infrastructure, representing a strategic...
Ukraine holds approximately 5% of the world's mineral reserves. Ukraine has approximately 20,000 mineral deposits covering 117 mineral types. 8,761 deposits are of commercial value and 3,055 deposits were in production before the Russian invasion.
The European Space Agency (ESA) successfully launched its first planetary defense mission on October 7, 2024. The Hera mission is focused on protecting the planet from asteroid impacts. The project aims to explore the possibility of deflecting asteroids from their flight paths. The target of the mission is the binary asteroid Didymos. This mission...
Decarbonization, the increasing energy demands of modern technologies, and electromobility are leading to a comeback of nuclear energy worldwide. An example in Europe is Poland, and in Asia, it is primarily China. This corresponds to the assumptions of the International Atomic Energy Agency, according to which the total energy consumption in the...
International fusion energy project has been delayed. The International Fusion Energy Project (ITER) fusion reactor has finally been assembled, but it won't operate fully until 2039 at the earliest. Harnessing fusion reaction has the potential to transform the global energy system as it could provide virtually limitless clean, safe, and affordable...
