Researchers at Northeast Normal University made a carbon material from invasive staghorn sumac, loaded with nano-magnesium oxide, that captured up to 469.64 mg of fluoride per gram in lab tests. Larger real-world trials are still to come.
A team at the University of Science and Technology of China placed a thin superconductor inside a terahertz cavity and saw its critical temperature rise by up to 5.4%, the first experimental evidence that vacuum fluctuations can strengthen superconductivity.
ENN Group says its EXL-50U device in Langfang produced over 100 million hydrogen-boron fusion reactions per second, a fuel that releases no neutrons. It is a physics result, not net energy, and the company targets first electricity in 2030.
