The space race is in full gear. In 2022, the space sector accounted for 0.5% of the nation’s GDP, or $131.8 billion. According to the latest government data, the industry also experienced real GDP growth of 2.3%, higher than the overall U.S. growth rate of 1.9%. Additionally, the space economy has been a significant driver...
For the first time in more than two decades, researchers at the US Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) have performed critical experiment using high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) TRISO (TRI-structural ISOtropic) fuel. The Deimos experiment was performed at the National Criticality Experiments Research Centre (NCERC) outside of Las Vegas, operated by LANL at the Nevada National...
The energy landscape in the U.S. is undergoing a seismic shift, owing in part to the exponential growth of generative artificial intelligence (AI) applications and data centers, according to McKinsey & Company. This rise in energy demand is further exacerbated by the country’s increasing seasonal cooling and heating needs due to extreme weather. To offset the rising...
Copper has been called the mineral of electrification. We will need a massive amount of it to support the rapid growth in demand for electricity – for decarbonizing power generation and the grid, for electrifying buildings, transportation and industry, and for bringing electricity to the world’s population that doesn’t have it today. And there’s a...
The holiday season is a time for family and friends. It’s also a time of busy travel, as Thanksgiving and Christmas are among the busiest travel days of the year.
