Flat magnets for fusion reactors tested
MIT and Thea Energy are testing a new flat superconducting magnet to simplify fusion power. The test checks if the device handles the extreme magnetic fields required to trap plasma. 🧲
Traditional fusion magnets use complex, expensive 3D shapes. This new design uses 12 encircling coils and 300 shaping magnets to make construction and maintenance easier for future power plants.

Ultra-thin battery developed
Researchers at Dongguk University built a battery 2.77 micrometers thick, 30 times thinner than a human hair. Removing the anode—the negative terminal—simplifies the design. 🔋⚙️🔬
This tech fits tiny medical devices and wearables. A special tin and carbon coating keeps the battery efficient by preventing lithium loss during use.

Electric cars near petrol sales in the UK
In October, battery-electric models reached a 32% share of the UK market with 48,858 registrations. This puts electric sales just behind petrol vehicles, which held 37.2%.
This growth of 32.7% over the last year narrows the gap significantly, marking a major shift in how the local automotive market is evolving.

Simple membrane cuts oil refining costs
Researchers at KAIST and Georgia Tech built a membrane to filter crude oil at room temperature. It uses the oil to form microscopic channels, cutting energy use by 32%, carbon emissions by 38%, and operating costs by 36%.
This turns common filtration buildup into microscopic pathways, avoiding the high costs and defects typical of complex coated membranes.

Pentagon partners with robotics startup for mass-produced drones
The Pentagon awarded a $9 million contract to Machina Labs to build modular factories for mass-producing low-cost attack drones. This 18-month project creates metal airframes for the LUCAS uncrewed combat system.
These modular facilities allow for rapid, scalable production of autonomous systems. By using AI-powered robotic arms, the military replaces slow manufacturing with flexible, quick assembly.

NASA's quiet supersonic plane makes its public debut
On November 6, NASA publicly showcased its experimental X-59 aircraft in Florida ✈️, designed to break the sound barrier without the usual loud bang.
Instead of an explosive crack, its unusual pointy nose turns the sonic shockwave into a muffled sound like a closing door.
